New music highlights from Dancing Astronaut’s Artists to Watch in 2025
Henri Bergmann & CENKK – Get Together
Henri Bergmann and CENKK join forces on “Get Together,” a powerful, emotionally charged new single on Automatik. “Get Together” kicks off Bergmann’s Interstellar VA III package, which will be released in the coming weeks from house and techno’s hottest up and coming artists. With early support from Solomun, CamelPhat, Adriatique, and 8kays, this melodic record has been an essential in top tastemaker’s DJ sets. – Alex Lambeau
Gorgon City – Loveless (GENESI Remix)
GENESI has continuously reaffirmed his Dancing Astronaut Artist to Watch in 2025 status throughout the year. And Gorgon City have now recruited him for an undertaking on “Loveless,” the duo’s mid-summer single. GENESI does what he does best on his third rework of the year — following ones for “Bad Boy” and “So Good” — flipping the lighthearted original into a forceful house weapon. – Ross Goldenberg
RemK – Autopilot
RemK is christening his newly minted record deal with Marshmello’s Joytime Collective by dropping his new single, “Autopilot.” It marks his first original release since April’s Caught In The Current EP on Insomniac’s Lost In Dreams, and follows his remix of Zedd and Selena Gomez’s “I Want You To Know,” available on his SoundCloud. Next month, RemK is set to go back-to-back- with fellow San Diego Waterboys member — and 2022 Artist to Watch alum — FrostTop at niteharts festival in San Diego. – Zach Salafia
VILLA – V [EP]
VILLA — a Dancing Astronaut 2023 Artist to Watch alumni — unveils a stunning audio-visual project titled V. The three-track EP showcases the rising trap producer’s full creative range, accompanied by a self-directed short film she also scored. The film portrays her journey as an artist: “It’s a story of people telling me I can’t do something, the internal battles I face as an artist, and the rebirth that comes with reclaiming my power as an artist,” she says. – Zach Salafia
longstoryshort – how to feel alive
longstoryshort celebrates his Monstercat signing with “how to feel alive,” tapping ever so smoothly into his UK garage sensibilities for a chapter-opening cut that brings the New York-based producer’s career full circle. “I got rejected in 2018…When I first started longstoryshort, Monstercat was my dream label. I worked hard on an EP…and they passed on all of it,” he wrote on Instagram. “Looking back, the music was definitely mid…but I had the hunger and drive to win.” A compelling reflection of his evolved style and skill, “how to feel alive” proves that perseverance is a creative tool in its own right. — Rachel Narozniak
Adam Ten & Rafael – Sweet Boy
The wait is over — Adam Ten and Rafael have unveiled “Sweet Boy.” Out now on Maccabi House — the Adam Ten and Mita Gami-led imprint that’s become a fixture in the melodic house scene — the single brings both artists’ sounds into sharp focus. A staple of Tel Aviv’s underground, Adam Ten continues to refine his hypnotic, groove-driven sound while Rafael brings his sleek blend of tech and minimal house to the collaboration, resulting in a track that’s equally at home on late-night dancefloors and sunrise sets. – Danielle Carty
John Summit – Crystalized (feat. Inéz)
Just six months after the release of “Light Years,” John Summit reunites with vocalist Inéz on their new single, “Crystallized.” Already earning praise from crowds across the globe, from Ibiza to Chicago, the track showcases Summit’s ability to push boundaries and divert from his usual sound. The lyrics capture both heartbreak and resilience, with the hook “I loved you once, won’t do it twice” making “Crystallized” an emotional yet infectious dance floor anthem. – Liana Stern
SIDEPIECE & Bobby Shmurda – Cash Out (Dave Summer Remix)
Quebec-based producer Dave Summer has been carving out a name for his newest project with high-impact SoundCloud edits energizing Dom Dolla, Armin van Buuren, and countless other’s sets. His latest rework takes on “Cash Out,” the SIDEPIECE and Bobby Shmurda collaboration built around Shmurda’s iconic record. Summer darkens the groove with his signature synth work, turning the track into a peak-hour club weapon that leans harder into the modern tech house energy recently popularized by artists like Odd Mob and Chris Lorenzo. With his remixes circulating in numerous sets, and beginning to receive official releases, Summer is quickly establishing himself as a rising name in the North American house circuit. – Oliver Broek
