The arrival of summer this year is concurrent with something else – the rise of house music.
House music has solidified itself as a genre for decades, constantly transforming and reinventing itself. Lately, house artists and DJs are rising into the mainstream, making up many of the music industry’s largest musicians and performers. Whether it was the high-energy performances of John Summit and Disco Lines going viral or everyone you know deciding to learn how to DJ, house music is everywhere.
As the weather gets warmer, summer calls for dancing, spending time with loved ones and feeling a certain euphoria synonymous with the season. And there is no better way to bring all these together than house music. The versatile genre offers several new releases of various sub-genres. Get ready to dance until the sun comes up this summer with these ten brand-new house songs.
1) Talk To You, ANOTR & 54 Ultra
Effortlessly blending disco into house music like other EDM artists today, ANOTR’s latest hit is the perfect summer song. With its bouncy instrumentals and breathless vocals, “Talk To You” is the ultimate summer house anthem.
The Dutch duo’s single has skyrocketed in popularity since its release this March, climbing both national and global charts. On Ibiza’s opening summer weekend, viral videos showed clubs’ crowds partying until 6:30 a.m. to sing the lyrics “I want to see you move.”
ANOTR shared a video on TikTok detailing the creation process. He captioned it “5 complete strangers in the studio – this is the result.” The video features the house song’s collaborators on a retreat in a studio in upstate New York. They sing layered vocals, try out guitar riffs, script different lyrics, and dance together to the final product.
One thing remains clear — the house track’s danceability and feel-good summer quality is palpable.
2) Free Your Mind, Prospa & Cloonee

4) Body, Lance Savali
Considering the way Lance Savali creates irresistibly danceable tracks, you would never guess music isn’t his primary career.
Hailing from New Zealand, Savali is primarily a dancer and choreographer. He had worked with major pop stars like Beyoncé, Jennifer Lopez, and Rihanna. He was even infamously fired from Madonna’s tour for his astrological sign, as Madonna reportedly relayed to Savali that she didn’t trust Scorpios. In addition to dance, he has appeared on television on shows like New Zealand’s “Dancing with the Stars” and RuPaul’s “Drag Race Down Under.”
Given his background in dance and choreography, it is no wonder Savali knows how to make hypnotically rhythmic tracks that just make you want to dance. He effortlessly blends all the best aspects of classic house music with modern spins. Last year, Savali’s song “Devotion” went viral on TikTok, even sparking a dance trend alongside it. Now, his latest single “Body” continues the same high-energy rhythms and perfectly chopped vocals.
5) car crash, jigitz & Charlotte Plank
Though it is at its core a dance house, “car crash” feels like an indie sleaze coming-of-age song as well. Charlotte Plank’s emotional vocals about a painful love affair, paired with jigitz’s repetitive, ambient synths, make for a classic youthful summer anthem.
Though he has been releasing music since 2018, electronic artist jigitz suddenly gained traction last year with his hit song “tell you straight.” Since then, he has garnered over two million monthly listeners and performed alongside artists like BUNT in concert. He even took part in an underground show with fellow New York City-based DJs INJI and bdgrlbklyn last fall. Additionally, Plank has found massive success in the world of electronic music. She has created her own music, attracting millions of listeners, and has featured on other artists’ famous tracks, such as NOTION’s “TEMPORARY FRIENDS.”

7) i need u, BUNT. & Malou
German “stutter house” artist BUNT brings a romantic, summery feel to house music with “i need u.” A trailblazer of the genre alongside artists like Fred Again and it’s murph, BUNT contrasts Malou’s smooth vocals with wavering synths to transport listeners to an otherworldly musical landscape.

In an interview about his inspiration for “i need u,” BUNT described how he came up with the idea for the song on an overnight flight. “I remember looking outside, seeing just pure darkness, but it wasn’t scary. It felt so peaceful,” he said.
Bunt means colorful in German — for those looking for a vibrant, euphoric sound, “i need u” is the song of the summer.
8. Cops & Robbers – Douvelle19 Remix, Sammy Virji & Skepta & Douvelle19
Sammy Virji’s latest hit samples Brandy’s “I Wanna Be Down” to create a chill, catchy house anthem. Virji pairs Skepta’s rhythmic flow and Brandy’s infectious melody with flawless production to create a high-energy, danceable hit.
Sammy Virji is an English DJ and producer. Though he grew up with diverse music tastes, loving everything from Motown to dubstep, he found his sound in bassline and U.K. garage music. After dropping out of university to pursue his music career, he found massive success. He is currently one of the United Kingdom’s most successful electronic artists and is touring North America.
Nigerian rapper Skepta is also incredibly successful, both releasing his own music and collaborating with massive artists such as Playboi Carti and Fred Again. His feature on Fred Again’s “Victory Lap” garnered over 200 million streams, establishing his versatility and range as he raps flawlessly over any beat, no matter the genre.
Douvelle19 is a Welsh producer who began his music career by asking strangers on Myspace how to make music. In his remix of Cops & Robbers, he transforms the song by enhancing its euphoric, romantic quality. “Dance music is very emotive and elicits a physical vulnerability and excitement, and I think love songs talk about that, in a different way. Harmonizing those two things together makes perfect sense to me,” Douvelle19 said in an interview with UKF.
Douvelle19’s sentiment goes hand in hand with Virji’s radical optimism, seen in both his music and performances. By pooling their talents, Virji, Skepta, and Douvelle19 are bringing back old school house, highlighting the United Kingdom’s deep roots in the genre and emanating its euphoric quality.
9) Fawning, MEVSNEWGROOVE
MEVSNEWGROOVE released her first song, “Fawning,” on Jan. 26. “Fawning” seamlessly blends house music with funk and R&B, perhaps drawing inspiration from other genre-bending artists like Kaytranada.
MEVSNEWGROOVE made the entirety of the song in her bedroom, a testament to how anyone today can be their own producer. She stayed up until the late hours of the morning to complete the project using only BandLab, Apple headphones, and a sock microphone.
This unique subgenre of house music has been on the rise lately. For example, artists like Kaytranada and Austin Millz gained large fan bases for the way they mix elements of R&B into house music. MEVSNEWGROOVE’s experimental sound is groovy and hypnotic, enticing the listener to dance the night away to the syncopated rhythms.
10) XTC, Cloonee & Jocelyn Enriquez
Want to feel a little ecstasy this summer? Cloone is bringing the energy with his remix of dance pop singer Jocelyn Enriquez’s 1997 hit “A Little Bit of Ecstasy.”
Cloonee effortlessly blends Enriquez’s timeless house hit with a new techno feel, emulating a catchy melody that’s bound to be stuck in your head all summer. Cloonee isolates Enriquez’s vocals during the buildup, creating tension and an intense focus on her honeylike voice. When the beat drops, he loops her vocals over a high-energy bassline and fast-paced percussion, making dancing to the track irresistible.
The British DJ and producer’s artist name “Cloonee” comes from his childhood trips with his grandfather, where they would go fishing at Cloone Lake in Ireland. Cloonee now has over 8 million monthly listeners and even runs his own imprint, Hellbent Records. At Hellbent Records, he houses his own unreleased tracks and music from up-and-coming small artists.
Enriquez is known as San Francisco’s “Queen of Freestyle” and played a large part in bringing dance music mainstream during the ’90s. She even toured with major artists such as Destiny’s Child, NSYNC, Backstreet Boys, and Brandy.
According to Cloonee, he spends hours surfing through SoundCloud to discover new music from small artists. He also often goes through bigger artists’ profiles to see what musicians they follow and what songs they have liked.
It’s clear that this practice has inspired Cloonee’s own unique, carefully curated sound. If you’re looking for an inventive take on a classic hit, “XTC” is for you.
