DJ Snake Announces New Single To Be Released This Coming Monday
DJ Snake took to Twitter to announce that this coming Monday, October 23, he will be releasing a new single. This comes off of his monster hit ‘A Different Way’ which was debuted in the center of Paris via live stream from the the top of the Arc de Triomphe. As of now we really only have a song name, and no further details. ‘Broken Summer’ is the name of the upcoming track and it seems that DJ Snake hasn’t even played it out in his sets yet.
This one will be an entirely cold launch, but if it mirrors anything like his latest releases, DJ Snake will once again find success with ‘Broken Summer’. It does seem to have a vocalist featured but the cover art was not high enough quality to make sense of the blurry names. Check it out below.

The Mystery Vocalist Was Max Frost
The blurry cover art mystery didn’t last long, ‘Broken Summer’ dropped right on schedule that Monday and revealed Austin singer-songwriter Max Frost as the featured vocalist. The track leaned into a mellower, groove-driven sound compared to DJ Snake’s bigger club records, showing off a more restrained, R&B-tinged side of his production that stood in contrast to festival-ready anthems like ‘A Different Way.’
Part Of A Deliberate Genre-Hopping Pattern
This cold-launch approach, dropping a single with almost zero advance promotion beyond a song title, became something of a signature move for DJ Snake during this era, letting the music speak for itself rather than building up months of hype. It also reflected how unpredictable his catalog had become by 2017, bouncing between trap-inflected club bangers, pop radio hits, and mellower cuts like ‘Broken Summer’ without ever settling into one predictable lane, which is exactly what kept fans checking his socials for the next surprise drop.
Max Frost Kept Building His Own Profile
The collaboration also gave a nice boost to Max Frost, who was still establishing himself as a solo artist outside his earlier band days at the time. Getting a co-sign from an artist with DJ Snake’s reach helped introduce his voice to a much wider dance music audience, and ‘Broken Summer’ remains one of the more slept-on entries in DJ Snake’s catalog precisely because of how quietly it arrived compared to his bigger, more heavily promoted singles.
