New music highlights from Dancing Astronaut’s Artists to Watch in 2025
Mary Droppinz – Metallica Dub
Mary Droppinz’s latest track, “Metallica Dub,” began as a personal tribute to her dad — something she made just for her sets. But after a TikTok clip of the track gained over 350,000 views, she decided to give it an official release on SoundCloud, adding another standout to the 2025 Artist to Watch’s growing discography. She drops it fresh off her performance at GRiZ’s Seven Stars festival. – Zach Salafia
Skrillex & ISOxo – Fuze
Brostep is back — and it’s arriving in the form of Skrillex and ISOxo’s debut collaboration, “Fuze.” The track made its explosive debut as the opener to their highly anticipated back-to-back set at the niteharts festival in San Diego. While the pair have been teasing several unreleased IDs, “Fuze” marks the first to receive an official release — and hopefully just the beginning of many more to come. – Zach Salafia
Kevin de Vries & Jast – Born Like That
The long-awaited collaboration between Afterlife mainstay Kevin de Vries and rising talent Jast has finally arrived. Out now via Afterlife, “Born Like That” has become one of the hottest IDs in melodic techno this year. The track has been a standout in Anyma’s headline sets across the globe, drawing heavy anticipation from fans and DJs alike. With support flooding in from across the scene, “Born Like That” is at the forefront of a new wave of peak-time electronic music. – Alex Lambeau
Mochakk & J.J. Fad – HyperSilent
Brazilian producer Mochakk returns to Disorder with “HyperSilent,” a track that blends classic grooves with his signature club-ready edge. Sampling the iconic vocals from J.J. Fad’s “Supersonic,” the release flips a hip-hop staple into a modern house weapon. Following his standout single “Legumes” with KWENGFACE and his recent remix of PinkPantheress’ “Noises,” Mochakk keeps the momentum rolling with another bold entry in his discography. “HyperSilent” captures the producer’s instinct for pushing boundaries while keeping the groove front and center. Designed to light up any dance floor, it’s Mochakk firing on all cylinders. – Danielle Carty
deadmau5 – Ameonna
deadmau5 begins the next chapter of his forthcoming studio album with “Ameonna,” a new instrumental composition that showcases his cinematic approach to production. Named after the Japanese mythological rain woman – often depicted as both haunting and beautiful – “Ameonna” captures this duality through escalating, pressurized synths and swirling atmospherics. The track sets the tone for what’s to come on his highly anticipated LP, due out next year. – Liana Stern
