This week in dance music saw Rüfüs Du Sol set a new benchmark — their Inhale/Exhale tour now stands as the highest-grossing electronic tour on record, according to Live Nation. The trio was also announced as a Bonnaroo 2026 headliner on a bill that includes Skrillex.
LIV Golf Adelaide added John Summit as the Saturday headliner for its 2026 event in Australia, joining Peking Duk, Royel Otis and Fisher. Meanwhile, Fred again.. expanded his USB002 rollout with a Vancouver date featuring Skream & Benga and appeared on Instagram’s Ask It Anyway series, where he explained he’s feeling “a bit more stable” now that he’s touring with close friends.
Fred reflected on prioritizing his wellbeing: he’s focused on protecting his mental health so he can create consistently — emphasizing better sleep and exercise as tools that help him stay grounded and productive.
Elsewhere, Subtronics spoke with Nic Vans for Billboard’s Takes Us Out series about his new record and Sphere residency. We also caught up with TEED about his name change and new album Always With Me, and chatted with Alison Wonderland about her latest project, Ghost World.
With what may be the final major release day of 2025 upon us, here are the standout new dance albums and projects to check out this week.
-
Tourist — Music Is Invisible
U.K. producer Tourist delivers a long-anticipated trance-inflected album with Music Is Invisible. His sixth studio effort spans ten tracks that balance cerebral textures with clear club energy — a record that is reflective without sacrificing momentum.
William Phillips (Tourist) says the project was made while he was constantly on the move, a process that helped him imagine listeners losing themselves in the sound. The result reads like a personal document of what trance means to him: immersive, physical and emotionally direct.
Released via Queens Road Music / AndRECORDS / Atlantic. Listen here.

Alison Wonderland — Ghost World
Alison Wonderland’s Ghost World is her first full-length since 2022 and is both intimate and expansive. The album wrestles with personal trauma — including a 2024 miscarriage — while building an enveloping sonic environment that offers refuge and solidarity.
Collaborators such as DJ Dave, Memba and fellow Australian Ninajirachi help shape Ghost World’s emotional highs; the duet “Heaven” in particular stands out as one of the album’s most affecting moments.
Out on Casablanca Records. Listen here.
-
Kaskade — undux
Kaskade’s undux arrives amid a period of personal upheaval and reads like a deeply felt statement. The producer channels heartbreak and renewal across tracks such as “obvious,” “heart worth breaking” and a poignant dancefloor rendition of “I Can’t Make You Love Me.”
Emotional and candid, undux finds Kaskade mixing vulnerable songwriting with his signature house sensibility — moments that could move you to tears on the dancefloor.
Released via Monstercat & Arkade. Listen here.

Subtronics — Fibonacci Pt 2: Infinity
Subtronics continues his Fibonacci series with Part 2: Infinity, a ten-track collection that amplifies his psychedelic bass palette. Heavy-hitting collaborators — including Grabbitz, Jem Cooke, Illenium and Linney — help broaden the album’s emotional and sonic range.
The release cements Subtronics’ status as a pivotal figure in contemporary dubstep and comes alongside a new Billboard News conversation with Nic Vans.
Out on Cyclops Recordings. Listen here.

STS9 — Human Dream
Electronic jam outfit STS9 released their thirteenth LP, Human Dream, a sprawling 19-track voyage that unfolds like a live set — songs bleed into one another to create a continuous, cinematic listening experience.
Recorded in the band’s Santa Cruz studio while the CZU Complex fire burned nearby, the album channels that fraught backdrop into a hopeful, humanistic statement about community and resilience.
Released on 1320 Records / Symphonic. Listen here.
