Best New Electronic Music Tracks You Need to Hear in April 2025
With an abundance of music being released every week, it can be challenging to keep up with new tracks and find exciting new artists. With festival season official in full swing, we are here to help readers find some of the most exciting new tracks and styles that are sure to be on repeat in the coming months. Without including major artists such as Armin van Buuren, Hardwell, and others at that massive tier, this list should also deliver some exciting new artists to readers. Check out six of the most exciting new tracks that are out right now:
1. Mark II x EHLE – Starving For Your Love
Built around the strong, empowered female vocal of EHLE, this track is two and a half minutes of electronic-pop perfection. Providing the perfect foundation is Mark II, who perfectly understood what was needed to make this a real banger. Opening with a lush array of pads and subtle percussion, the energy and emotion build each measure until unleashing a massive drop accented by EHLE, delivering the track’s title in her powerful refrain.
Starving For Your Love showcases the genre fluidity that continues to envelop the industry and allows producers of all levels to fully flex their creative muscles. The opening and verses of the track appear to build into a radio-ready electro-house single, but Mark II keeps listeners on their toes with the dark undertones and full force of his instrumental interludes. This track hits real hard when all the elements come together while perfectly walking the line between infectious and energetic.
2. PSYKOTIC x Alex Karelia – Up In The Club
Donning impressive masks, tech producers PSYKOTIC and Alex Karelia don’t need to show their faces when producing tracks as pulsing and intriguing as Up In The Club. The driving energy of the track quickly transports listeners to crowded, sweat-soaked floors of the world’s best clubs. The bass line is perfectly minimal without losing its place in the track, and the repeated refrain of, “I’ll be f*cked up by the night, throwing it up and dance to the vibe, I know if I ever see the light I’ll be up in the club and it’s all arlite,” perfectly matches the mood of the track.
The track ebbs and flows throughout, allowing listeners a reprieve in the middle before further manipulating aspects of the vocal sample to enhance the mood. For PSYKOTIC and Alex Karelia, it perfectly brings together the two artists, crafting driving techno anthems with a sole focus on the dance floor. This one needs to be on playlists throughout the summer and beyond.
3. ESSEL – Look Back
“And don’t you ever look. You don’t have to pretend baby, I know it gets hard, looking around, you start to think, maybe this isn’t what you wanted, but you have to keep going, keep moving on, and don’t you ever look back!” This vocal sample opens the latest track from ESSEL and serves as an empowering message ahead of the tech house rhythms of the track. The self-proclaimed ‘musical genius, certified liability’ doesn’t let fans down, crafting the driving energy of the single and showing off with some subtle yet necessary adjustments in the second half to keep listeners engaged.
Although the vocal sample holds plenty of space throughout, the cascading lead and bass demand the listeners’ attention. Showcasing ESSEL’s incredible ability to craft melody and sound, the elements of the music are lined up just perfectly enough to keep them from crashing into each other. It’s a beautiful and powerful single and a strong reminder to never look back!
4. Kelbin – Matter
Leaning into a more minimalist sound and style, Kelbin breaks down his newest release into the elements that truly matter. Simply titled Matter, his newest production delivers an array of breakbeats and racing leads, bordering on mechanical chaos but never falling off the rails. Laced with a sound and energy that is truly indicative of the underground scene and the collection of communities that groove to their own rhythm, Kelbin shows off his engagingly manic style.
Throughout the track, the producer expertly adds and takes away subtle elements, allowing the track to evolve and build while never losing the core flow and energy of the percussion and musical melody. Despite the racing percussion, the track is also light and welcoming, a perfect track for an outdoor gathering as the weather continues to heat up.
5. Pan-Pot – AERO
With a long history of delivering mind-blowing minimal techno, the German duo of Pan-Pot are no strangers to powerful productions. Their latest offering, simply titled AERO, certainly continues the trend. The dark energy and driving rhythms never let up as a garage punk styled vocal belts out over the music, blurring the lines between dance and rock energy. Further twisting the narrative, the full-throated male vocal quickly gives way to a soothing, whispering male voice, completing the contrast all within a few measures.
Beyond the voices, the members of Pan-Pot remain in full control throughout the release, using a racing lead and massive synth chords to hold all the elements together. This one is not for the faint of heart, but the execution will certainly claim more new listeners than turn them away. The driving pulse is what so much of the electronic music scene was built upon and a must-listen for fans.
6. Raffi Habel – Wanna See U Drop
It doesn’t take a genius to recognize that music listeners like to move their bodies and sing along to iconic phrases. Raffi Habel clearly had this simple concept in mind when crafting his latest offering, Wanna See U Drop. A seductive female vocal repeats the line, “I wanna see you drop to the beat in the club,” which is a great starting point for any dance track. The memorable line and delivery are paired perfectly with Habel’s production, making the line sound more like a challenge or a demand than anything else.
The music is a massive collection of percussion, bass, and synths, helping to build a massive tech house banger that works well in the club or at home. This is a must for summer playlists and gatherings as the track maintains an upbeat energy, providing a spark for the listener throughout. For Raffi Habel, this showshttps://open.spotify.com/album/0fu3NXSW47reXdffbzld9H?si=NyXarSgYSDSyGacNE7nMhg his continued growth as he drops strong releases to kick off 2025.
