Dancing Astronaut’s New Music Friday: John Alto, Mary Droppinz, Timelapse, Charlotte de Witte, and more (July 4, 2025)

Words by Alex Lambeau, Zach Salafia, and Ross Goldenberg.

New music highlights from Dancing Astronaut’s Artists to Watch in 2025:

John Alto – Before The Fire

There were a towering 14 yet-to-be released productions in John Alto’s set upload from June. But there was still one more track that the Dancing Astronaut Artist to Watch in 2025 decided to keep to himself for the time being. And that was disclosed to be a release that would arrive via SUPERHUMAN, Swedish House Mafia’s newly formed imprint. “Before The Fire” now lands as an impressive third original of the calendar year from Alto’s ever-growing catalog, with those 14 forenamed IDs still on the way.

Mary Droppinz, MYTHM & Connie Francis – PLB (Pretty Little Baby)

Mary Droppinz is upholding her Dancing Astronaut Artist to Watch in 2025 status for a fifth time on the musical side. Teaming up with both MYTHM and Connie Francis, Droppinz delivers what’s arguably her heaviest sonic output of 2025 thus far, with the three collaborators joining together for the ultimate riddim crossover, “PLB (Pretty Little Baby).”

CultureKind – Believing EP

CultureKind are back with their most emotionally resonant release to date. The duo’s Believing EP arrives via Miss Monique’s influential Siona Records as they continue to refine their atmospheric, songwriting-driven approach. And their newest triple-sided EP offers up a grouping of progressive tracks that reflect both introspection and dancefloor energy. With past releases on ATLANT and Purified as well as growing support from dance tastemakers like Korolova, Henri Bergmann, Innellea, and Above & Beyond, Believing marks a defining step forward in CultureKind’s journey. As their sound deepens and their audience expands, the duo’s distinct emotional imprint on the melodic dance space is becoming impossible to ignore.

Timelapse – Unfold

Timelapse has made a striking return to Adriatique’s imprint with “Unfold,” his contribution to the highly anticipated label compilation, Siamese Anthology VIII. Curated by Adriatique, the compilation continues to serve as a platform for boundary-pushing electronic music that blends melody, emotion, and intensity—making it a fitting home for Timelapse’s evolving sound. With past support from Tale Of Us, Mind Against, and the label founders themselves — plus a growing catalog on labels like Habitat and Siamese. — Timelapse is quickly becoming one of the most compelling names in the world of melodic techno and beyond.

Chris Lorenzo, Max Styler & Audio Bullys – London’s On Fire

Two of the biggest names in tech house have united on their first-ever collaboration, “London’s On Fire.” Out now via Chris Lake’s Black Book Records, the new single — featuring an earworm vocal from Audio Bullys — has roots dating back to last year and made an even larger impression when it was rinsed out during both of Lorenzo’s sets at the Sahara tent at Coachella. And there’s no denying that this one is sure to make the rounds around the live circuit this summer.

Enrico Sangiuliano – The Techno Code (Remixes)

Enrico Sangiuliano’s “The Techno Code” has received international live support from the likes of John Summit to Adam Beyer to Vintage Culture and more. And now, it receives a remix pack to match the acclaim of the original. Charlotte de Witte — who also happens to be Sangiuliano’s wife — delivers her highly-anticipated Acid Code edition of the record alongside remixes from Kevin de Vries and SLVR as well as Avalon and Tristan.
