Virtual Self Was The Real Story This Week
Of everything on this list, Porter Robinson’s Virtual Self project was easily the biggest deal. He’d launched the alias earlier in 2017 with almost no warning, ditching his usual melodic style for a deep dive into late ’90s and early 2000s trance and Eurobeat, complete with an aesthetic built around old internet culture and Y2K visuals. The self-titled EP rounded out that run and ended up becoming one of the most talked-about dance music releases of the year, proof that Porter could completely reinvent his sound and still land a hit.
A Week That Spanned The Whole Genre
This particular Friday touched just about every corner of dance music, from Martin Garrix and David Guetta’s radio-ready “So Far Away” to NGHTMRE and Dillon Francis leaning into heavier trap territory on “Another Dimension.” Krewella’s “Alarm,” released under the Look alias, showed the duo still experimenting outside their main project even while rebuilding momentum after a rocky few years. Weeks like this one are why the New Music Friday format stuck around, there’s simply too much dropping across too many subgenres for any one fan to track alone.
