Every March, dance music fans across the US fly south to chase bright skies and sun-soaked beats. What began in the 1990s as the Winter Music Conference — a cutting-edge showcase of underground electronic music — has evolved into Miami Music Week, one of the key dates in the North American electronic music industry calendar.
Miami Music Week has boosted the careers of superstars from Tiësto and Steve Aoki, to Diplo and Maya Jane Coles, among countless others. That impact grows year on year, too: DJs, producers and creatives across the industry move from pool parties to boat outings, mega-clubs and pop-ups; all to hear the latest sounds, played by upwards of 1,000 artists across more than 200 venues.
As we approach this year’s festivities for 2025, there will be no shortage of infectious grooves, thumping beats and boundary-pushing electronic sounds. While the talent pool will be reliably deep, for this selection of tracks, we’re focusing on fresh talent like Nick León, Chloé Caillet and Max Styler, and old-school legends like Carl Cox, Richie Hawtin and LTJ Bukem. Plug into our new collection of heaters from artists who are set to dominate Miami this March.
LISTEN TO THE FESTIVAL RADAR: MIAMI PLAYLIST ON SOUNDCLOUD NOW
TSHA, Rose Gray, “Girls”
The British DJ-producer dropped this club anthem last summer ahead of her second album, ‘Sad Girl.’ The Ninja Tune release was the follow-up to her well-received debut, ‘Capricorn Sun.’
John Summit, “Comfort In Chaos”
Known for some time now as one of the most sought-after DJs in dance music, the 30-year-old DJ/producer released his debut album in 2024. The title track reveals a more thoughtful, ethereal side to his music.
Sonny Fodera, Clementine Douglas, “Tell Me”
New for 2025, the Aussie producer, based in London, reteams with his favorite vocal collaborator for this classic house track. It comes hot on the heels of the pair’s BRIT Awards Song of the Year nomination for “Somedays.”
deadmau5, “Jupiter”
New from the acclaimed DJ, “Jupiter” is a space odyssey designed to take a little trip in your mind; there are shades of the master Giorgio Moroder, whose favorite machine was a Roland Jupiter 8.
Dom Dolla, “girl$”
The Aussie producer originally recorded this with his own vocals, but then decided he needed “a strong female performance.” He recruited his friend Caitlin Stubbs, who gives the track a decidedly different flavor.
Chase and Status, Stormzy, “BACKBONE”
The crossover English drum and bass duo lined up the grime star Stormzy for this heavy cut from summer 2024. They debuted it at their Coachella set the previous April.
Above & Beyond, “React”
Founders of Anjunabeats, this trio of electronic veterans have been described as “the world’s biggest cult band.” “React” was released last year ahead of their latest EP, ‘Tranquility Base Vol. 2.’
Pendulum, “Colourfast”
New work from the long-running Australian electronic rock band. This 2023 track, featuring the vocals of frontman Rob Swire, harkens back to the early days of their debut album, ‘Hold Your Colour.’
Charlotte de Witte, Amelie Lens, “One Mind” (Original Mix)
From Belgium, de Witte originally took to stages using the alias Raving George. Her dark, spare techno vision is in full effect on this collaboration with fellow Belgian Amelie Lens.
Gesaffelstein, “Your Share Of The Night”
Dark gothic undertones on this showcase track from the French producer and DJ’s third album, 2024’s ‘Gamma.’ As the title suggests, it’s a paean to the mysteries of the nightlife.
Skrillex, Yung Lean, Bladee, “Ceremony”
Another track from Skrillex’s hyper-productive 2023, this collaboration found him pairing with the influential cloud rapper Yung Lean and his fellow Swede, Bladee.
Anyma, Ellie Goulding, “Hypnotized”
The go-to singer pairs with Matteo Milleri’s solo project for this single, recently released ahead of his upcoming album, ‘The End of Genesys.’ The project coincides with Anyma’s high-concept residency at the Sphere in Las Vegas.
Andy C, “Home In That Bass”
Huge sounds on this recent drum and bass banger from the English producer, DJ and record label co-founder. “Drum and bass is and always has been my home,” he said upon its release.
Doctor P, Flux Pavilion, “Fluffy Cowboy”
Throwback not only to the golden days of dubstep, but to spaghetti Westerns and dancehall sound systems. Their self-titled debut album as a team is due in late March 2025.
Nic Fanciulli, “YSD”
The Saved Records kingpin dropped this vintage-style house track a year ago, and has continued to captivate new audiences ever since. Under several aliases, he has remixed Underworld, Gorillaz, Jamie xx and many more.
Partiboi69, “Double Drop”
The Australian producer exercises his signature “tongue-in-cheek” approach to electronic dance music on this 2024 track. Gotta hand it to a guy who can call himself the “Prophet of Pleasure” with a straight face.
TOKiMONSTA, Channel Tres, “Naked”
Swirling strings and a driving beat propel this disco homage from the LA-based producer, who recruited Compton rapper Channel Tres for the track. TOKiMONSTA has done remixes for Beck, Duran Duran and “Squid Game.”
Black Coffee, Sabrina Claudio, “SBCNCSLY”
The South African DJ and composer paired with the R&B singer on the dreamy first single and title track of his sixth album in 2021. It won the Grammy Award for Best Dance/Electronic.
Cloonee, “Sippin’ Yak”
For this 2024 floor-filler, the house music star sampled “We Like,” an unreleased turn-of-the-century track from the hip-hop artist Tracey Lee.
Max Styler, “Let Em' Know”
Born and raised in San Luis Obispo, the rising star signed with Steve Aoki’s Dim Mak label at the tender age of 18.
Layton Giordani, “Act of God” (Ft. Linney, Sarah de Warren)
The techno sensation signed up the singer-songwriters Linney and Sarah de Warren for this dark voyage, released in early 2025. The track was released on John Summit’s Experts Only label.
CloZee, LSDREAM, “FRENCH DREAM”
Ahead of their debut album together, these two genre-hoppers dropped this innovative dance track. The French musician, born Chloe Herry, and the American producer, formerly known as Brillz, explore her concept of “world bass” music.

The first-wave drum and bass producer makes a long-awaited comeback as part of Drum&BassArena’s 25th anniversary series. “LTJ” stands for “Long Time Junglist.”

The OG house and techno DJ brought back the early days of rave with this polyrhythmic thumper, which he dropped in 2022.
JULIET FOX, “OXYTOCIN”
The Australia-born techno DJ delivered her latest masterpiece this January – a baby boy named Cosmo. A few weeks later, she celebrated with this new track, set to the 155 BPM of the baby’s pulse in utero.
Chloé Caillet, “Last One For Today”
Shortly after launching her own imprint, SMIILE, last year, the Parisian DJ dropped her second single for the label, a signature slice of her usual euphoric style.
Jacques Greene, “Believe”
The Montreal producer implored his fans to think positively on this hypnotic dance track from 2023: “Now you have to believe.”
Nick León, “Zahara” (Nick León Breaks Edit)
Based in Miami, the DJ and producer showed off his experimental range on this reggaeton-flavored remix for the Spanish singer Judeline.
Richie Hawtin, “Acid King” (Full Tilt Mix)
