Friday Dance Music Guide: The Week’s Best New Tracks From Christine and The Queens & Cerrone, Mau P & More

French electronic legend Cerrone and the country’s modern bright star Christine and the Queens link for what feels like a contender for 2026’s best dance pop recording Grammy. A slinky disco ass shaker laced with Cerrone’s signature synth work and smooth as silk vocals from Christine, “Catching feelings” comes from a forthcoming four-track collaborative EP from the pair.

The duo initially linked in a very French manner while playing on a stage near the Arc de Triomphe amid a parade following the the 2024 French Summer Olympics, where Cerrone’s catalog was incorporated throughout the opening and closing events. After the festivities, he invited Christine and the Queens to play his classic “Supernature,” with their artistic chemistry and shared penchant for disco ultimately leading to this characteristically sleek but also very funky new track that comes with a slick video directed by Christine himself. The song is out via Malligator Préférence distributed by Because Music.

On the heels of playing for a 70,000-plus person crowd at EDC Las Vegas last weekend and days later announcing that he’s signed with Capitol Records, Marlon Hoffstadt releases his first music through the label. Bouncy, thick and gripping, “Supersonic” demonstrates why the trance-focused German artist is gaining traction in the U.S., with the track coming with a B-side, the equally catchy, whistle-laced peaktime heater “Hands Up In the Sky.”

Dutch phenom Mau P releases his second and third tracks of the year with his Too Big for B Side project. The two-track release is led by “Like I Like It,” on which the artist juxtaposes a brightly sung vocal hook with steamily muttered come-hither vocals. These are placed over a squelchy bassline and a sort of strange and groovy synth, altogether making this one sound like the good kind of trouble one can find on an afterhours dancefloor. Track two is the more urgent and no less necessary “People Talk People Sing,” with the whole project out on Solomun’s Diynamic Music.

Jamaican-Canadian producer Bambii whips up more hype for her forthcoming Infinity Club II EP with the project’s latest single, “Blue Sky.” A collab with Brazilian artist Lyzza and Toronto’s Sadboi, “Blue Sky” is an oversized and wonderfully ominous anthem that finds Lyzza and Sadboi trading verses over Bambii’s simultaneously crispy and crunchy production. The EP is out June 20th via Because Music, with Bambii’s upcoming tour dates including Electric Forest, Glastonbury and Bass Coast.

Further establishing himself one of the most crucial producers the moment, Barry Can’t Swim releases another pair of singles from his forthcoming album, via “About To Begin” and “Cars Pass By Like Childhood Sweethearts.” The former is one of the artist’s clubbier tracks to date, and finds him forging a long siren-like build that releases into a powerful and tightly produced release that we foresee soundtracking a lot of peaktime moments this summer. The latter track, meanwhile, is the softer and more nostalgic come-down. The tracks are out on Ninja Tune, and Barry’s new album on the label, Loner, is coming July 11.
