This week’s roundup features some of the most requested IDs in the DJ circuit right now, including fresh new cuts from Azzecca, Samm, DJ Sneak, MARZI, and more.

TONY Y NOT – ‘HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND’ [KOMPAKT RECORDS]

German groove-master Tony y Not dives deeper into her sonic playground with the two-track “Have You Lost Your Mind” EP. The title cut is pure Tony magic—a hypnotic house roller where sultry vocals wrap around psychedelic textures, practically demanding your body hit the dancefloor. Flip to “Deep Don’t Stop” and you’re treated to vintage Italo basslines swimming through acid percussions, creating that perfect after-hours vibe. “Last year, I decided to bring my voice back into my music,” Tony shares, crafting these tracks during a time when “the world felt chaotic, and honestly, it seemed like we’d all lost it a little.” The Zurich-born, NYC-based artist is on a serious hot streak, having already conquered legendary spaces from fabric to Brooklyn Mirage and Hï Ibiza, with her recent Time Warp NY debut proving she’s not just making waves—she’s causing a full-on tsunami in electronic music.

MARZI – DANCING & CRYING [MODERN DELIVERY]

Grammy-nominated beatsmith MARZI is done being the person behind the curtain. With “Dancing & Crying,” this LA producer steps out from the shadows of crafting hits for 6lack, Swae Lee, and Travis Scott to create a dance floor gem that’s entirely his own vision. “I got tired of putting my future in other peoples’ hands and putting my dreams on hold,” he confesses, and thank goodness he did. The track is a beautiful collision of worlds—emotive piano melodies pull at your heartstrings while the drums kick your feet into motion. What makes MARZI’s approach so refreshing is how he’s smuggled his hip-hop DNA into the house world, with custom drum kits creating those live-feeling percussion fills that hit different than your typical four-on-the-floor affair. Released through the fresh-faced Modern Delivery label, “Dancing & Crying” feels like the exciting first chapter in a story that’s been years in the making.

AZZECCA – DANCE OF THE DESSERT [HIGHER GROUND]

Chicago’s cosmic queen Azzecca unleashes “Dance Of The Desert” on Higher Ground, and it’s exactly the kind of spacey, acid-laced gem that’s earned her spots on every “ones to watch” list worth mentioning in 2025. The track is a beautiful oddity—breaksy beats collide with fuzzy hoover sounds and spoken-word vocals to create something that works just as well on a packed floor as it does during a 5 AM comedown. “I made this song specifically to play at Coachella two years ago and it quickly became a favorite,” Azzecca reveals, finally giving in to years of fan requests to release this ID. Between selling out venues across the country and launching her COSIMEA events series—where inclusivity and “other-worldly club sounds” rule the night—Azzecca’s meteoric rise shows no signs of slowing. She’s not just participating in the scene; she’s reshaping it with every spacey, cosmic release that bears her signature sound.

ANDREA BOTEZ, BISKUWI, & SARAH DE WARREN – GOING UNDER [MONSTERCAT]

Chess icon turned techno maven Andrea Botez reunites with Stockholm producer biskuwi and recruits vocal powerhouse Sarah de Warren for “Going Under,” a dark, pulsating techno anthem dropping on Transgender Day of Visibility. The track wastes no time pulling you into its orbit, opening with Warren’s hypnotic vocals floating above gritty atmospherics before thunderous percussion gives way to a bassline that could shake the walls of Berghain. “When I first heard Sarah de Warren’s voice on Eli Brown’s ‘Be The One,’ I couldn’t get enough,” Botez confesses, having tracked down the in-demand vocalist who’s been steadily conquering the techno scene. For biskuwi, the collaboration took shape around Warren’s raw vocal delivery: “There was something so vulnerable that instantly pulled us into darker waters.” Beyond its dancefloor might, the release carries deeper significance as biskuwi continues to stand as a leading voice for trans artists in electronic music. Following their breakthrough “S.O.S.” collaboration and the streaming sensation “Queen’s Gambit,” this trio has crafted something that’s both an underground weapon and an emotional journey—a perfect storm of beauty and darkness where melancholy and aggression dance in perfect harmony.

WHOMADEWHO & EVERYTHING IS ART – ALL THE LOVE (WHOMADEWHO & SAMM REMIX) [THE MOMENT]

Belgian wizard Samm puts his magic touch on “All The Love,” transforming WhoMadeWho and Everything Is Art’s original into a dreamy dancefloor journey that’s already turning industry heads. This remix didn’t just catch Pete Tong’s ear—it grabbed him by the collar, earning both an exclusive BBC Radio 1 premiere and the coveted “Essential New Tune” badge on release day. Samm’s reinterpretation is a beautiful contradiction—funky drum patterns and rough-edged synth stabs dancing with stirring strings and haunting vocals, creating that perfect tension between darkness and light. The Antwerp-based producer and Magnifik Records co-founder (alongside Ajna) has been steadily building his reputation across Europe with performances at Tomorrowland and Pacha Ibiza, crafting a signature sound that weaves together indie dance and afro house influences. His take on “All The Love” perfectly embodies The Moment’s ethos while showcasing why this Belgian talent is quickly becoming one of electronic music’s most exciting remix specialists.

MIA MORETTI – BEST I CAN (DJ SNEAK REMIX) [SPAGHETTI MORETTI]

House legend DJ Sneak puts his unmistakable jackin’ stamp on Mia Moretti’s gospel-infused “Best I Can,” pressed to limited 7″ promo vinyl for maximum crate-digger appeal. The Chicago pioneer strips things back and pumps up the drive, all while letting Baltimore-born vocalist Vonita White’s powerhouse performance shine through. “This is exactly what we love about Sneak — a true Chicagoan house legend,” Moretti gushes. “Of course, he knew exactly what to do to give this Baltimore gospel vocal a kick of peak-time swag.” The original mix, which samples and re-records Jasper Street Co. with White herself, already became a DJ weapon for Felix Da Housecat, A-Trak, and Danny Tenaglia last year. Early birds snagged copies at Spaghetti Moretti’s Miami Music Week showcase, where Moretti, Sneak, and DJ Minx turned a 300-cap speakeasy hidden in the back of a South Beach pizza joint into the week’s most talked-about party. The release includes a vinyl-exclusive treat on the B-side: DJ Sneak’s “The Gas” getting the Moretti treatment—a fitting exchange between two artists who understand that true house music needs both grit and soul.
