Fresh EDM Releases for October 2024: Tiered by Genre

Hiya Fam!

Since there were only a couple of releases to catalogue this week, I thought now would be the perfect time to introduce a new post series I’ve been thinking about — a roundup of the tracks that dropped in the previous month, using one of those tier ranking templates that I’ve seen popping up in YouTube videos for a while now.

Only instead of ranking the songs themselves — ’cause music is subjective and my opinion of a song doesn’t make it categorically good or bad 😁 — I took a page out of festival content creation Queen Emma Kapotes’ book, and used the ranking template to sort the tracks according to their respective genres.

This way you can get an at-a-glance idea of which tracks might suit your mood, context, activities, or overall musical preferences.

& even tho I’m still v. much a rookie in the scene, I’ve done my best to further categorized the songs into subgenres in the list below the image, so you can get an even better idea of which tracks you might want to try out, and which ones might not be your jam. (Although I am a firm proponent of trying something new every once in a while — ’cause you never know when you might stumble on a new favourite.)

So without further adieu, allow me to introduce our Fresh Features Roundup for October 2024. 🎉

All the titles are listed below and linked to their respective catalogue pages, with links to buy & stream, plus available videos, placement details, press, promotion & liner notes (including lyrics, in case you want to sing along. 😉)

I’ve also included a couple of Vibe emojis & a fun fact or personal thought about each of the songs to give you a little more info to go on, and even tho the list isn’t super long, I’ve included a table of contents so you can jump directly to your genre (or sub-genre) of choice.

Enjoy! & I’ll see you on the other side. 👇

Trance

Main Floor

‘Together’ – Siskin, Susie Ledge & Hal Stucker
- Vibe: 🫂🫶
- The first official collab between Siskin & Susie Ledge (alongside the brilliant Hal Stucker) — and it’s exactly as magical as you’d imagine it would be.
‘In Too Deep’ – Christina Novelli & Niko Zografos
- Vibe: 🙏💌
- There’s just something about the initial build that breaks over the solo piano/vocal that’s 🤌 — it’s currently sitting in my top spot for ‘Catchiest Christina Track of 2024’.
‘Not Forgotten’ (TEKNO & DJ T.H. Remix) – Christina Novelli & Joel Hirsch
- Vibe: 🤝💓
- If the original was Dom Toretto’s classic muscle, this mix is Brian’s ten-second Supra, complete with a fresh tank of NOS under the passenger seat.

Tech

‘Into The Night’ (Alessandra Roncone Tech Remix) – Sarah de Warren & Audorn
- Vibe: 🌙🐰
- The bells Roncone added at the 1:40 mark give the original a soundscape that borders on sacred. #justcantgetenough

House

Deep House

‘Piece of Mind’ – Brittany Egbert & Elated Pres. Sea To Sky
- Vibe: 🛑💭
- ICYMI: This was also the lead track on a recent guest mix Sea To Sky did for AVA Recordings, which is available to stream on Soundcloud.

Melodic House

‘Fade Into You’ – Linney & Polar Inc.
- Vibe: ♨️💘
- If you have any thoughts on the lyrics I’ve marked with ?s on the liner notes page, please do let me know.
‘still-healing’ (‘&’ Track 4) – Le Youth, Hessian & Susie Ledge
- Vibe: 🫥❤️‍🩹
- Fun fact: Le Youth put the ‘&’ EP that features this track together to introduce his audience to artists they might not be familiar with, but it was one of the artists he featured that actually led me to discover him. 😉 (Kudos, Susie Ledge!)

Progressive House

‘Black Neon’ – Aural State
- Vibe: 🛜⛅
- If “bleeding edge tech” and “particle hologram visuals” are some of your v. own personal keywords, this one’s for you.

- Full-length album re-release, featuring the four fire Siskin remixes that have come out so far this year, plus a brand new fifth remix of ‘Nobody Loves Me’, by Soren Andrews.
- ICYMI: I featured the ‘Are We Dreaming’ (Paul Sawyer Remix) in my recently published Siskin Saturday fan edit.
