Friday Dance Music Guide: The Week’s Best New Tracks From John Summit, Rezz, Nimino & More

This week in dance music: DJ Snake made a cameo during J Balvin’s performance at the VMAs to perform the duo’s collab “Noventa,” a new venue in Los Angeles called Reframe Studios Outdoors announced that it will open in November with a set from Solomun and Kygo’s Palm Tree Crew received a $215 million valuation after a Series B funding round from investors, including WME.

Meanwhile, Seth Troxer and Bill Patrick launched a new podcast called Flirting With Friendship in which the pair and a weekly special guest will wax poetic from the comfort of Troxler’s parents living room in Ibiza. “Friendships are funny, our life is based on connections. In many ways those connections determine who we are,” Troxler said upon the show’s announcement. “At some point meeting new friends or opening up to existing friends becomes more rare the older you get. Flirting with Friendship is about breaking down that barrier.”

Also, we also spoke with Hot Chip frontman Alexis Taylor about the band’s new compilation album Joy In Repetition, and the backstory of six of the songs on it.

In addition: Major Lazer announced that it’s doing a free Major Lazer Soundsystem performance today in Las Vegas as part of 12-hour Twitch stream, LCD Soundystem announced a New York City residency happening in November and December and Yves Tumor told the world that “if anyone’s curious how the show went, I just got booed offstage for playing the best set of the night by a bunch of the corniest people I’ve ever seen in my f–king life” after opening for Swedish House Mafia in New York City on Sept. 11.

And finally, these are the best new dance tracks of the week.
