Fresh off a triumphant North American tour, Robin now shifts gears into pure dancefloor mode starting his residency at the legendary Pacha Ibiza, where the summer sound is all about energy, unity, and that unmistakable White Isle vibe. 3 Schulz has teamed up with Aussie sister duo NERVO for his new single Credit: Mike Meyer He's compiled an exclusive playlist for us that captures the spirit of that shift, featuring club-ready cuts, uplifting house grooves, and the kind of feel-good moments only he can deliver. 3 Robin & NERVO share the stage at Pacha at the end of May Robin and NERVO, will share the stage at Pacha on May 31, giving fans a chance to experience the infectious energy of Freaking You Out live. Check out his playlist below and what he thinks about each track: Robin Schulz, NERVO, KOPPY – Freaking You Out This one is really special to me. Working with NERVO was super fun and the track brings such a special energy. I can't wait to have the girls back at Pacha at the end of May to celebrate our release together. Chris Lake, Ragie Ban – Toxic This track has such a specific and dark driving vibe. It builds tension in the right way and when the drop hits, the energy in the crowd just explodes. It's a real mood-setter. Frank Ocean - Lost (Gabss, Vintage Culture Edit) The original is a classic, and this remix gives it a real club vibe. It's one of those tracks where people sing along but still keep dancing. I heard this one on the US tour for the very first time when I entered the villa and my whole crew were vibing to it. Since then, it has become the tour soundtrack. A very special one for me. AYYBO & Taylr Renee - Obsession Super minimal, super groovy. It's one of those tracks that locks people in without being too loud or in-your-face. Overall, it was super nice, balanced, and the right pick for a proper night. SIDEPIECE – Lick This one is really fun and a bit naughty. It hits hard while the vocal sticks and people always react to it. It's a real banger and brings the right energy to the floor. Dom Dolla feat. Daya - Dreamin (Anyma Remix) Two worlds colliding here. Dom's groove with Anyma's emotional depth. It's a powerful moment in the set where things go a bit more epic and melodic. Cassian – SOS Beautiful and emotional, but still has a pulse that keeps the energy flowing. I love dropping this one because it really has a unique energy. Cloonee, Young M.A & InntRaw - Stephanie (HNTR Remix) This remix has some serious punch. It takes the original to a darker, more driving place which is perfect when I want to shift gears in the set and take things deeper. I loved to play the original one before, but this remix caught me even more. Robin Schulz, OSWALD - eternal life This track means a lot to me. It shows where I'm at musically right now. Emotional, uplifting, but a bit more club-focused. Playing it live always feels special. Zombie Nation – Kernkraft 400 (James Hype Edit) It's a total classic, and the James Hype edit gives it a fresh energy. Everyone knows it; everyone is going crazy. It's one of those guaranteed moments in my sets.

Friday Dance Music Guide: The Week's Best New Tracks From Haai, Sammy Virji & More
This week in dance music: Blond:ish releases her debut album Never Walk Alone today, a week after being announced as Pacha Ibiza's first female headline resident DJ. Charlotte de Witte, Sara Landry, Horsegiirl and many others were added to the Movement 2025 lineup; EDC Las Vegas announced the lineup for its May event; Winter Music Conference announced the first wave of speakers for its event next month in Miami; Empire of the Sun's Luke Steele signed a global deal with Warner Chappell Music; Seven Lions signed with management company MLennial and Justice hit the Hot 100 for the first time in the duo's decades-long career with its appearance on The Weeknd's Hurry Up Tomorrow opener 'Wake Me Up.' And on this day of love, we celebrate our enduring passion for the music with the best new dance tracks of the week. More from Billboard Kendrick Lamar Scores ARIA Chart Double as 'GNX' and 'Not Like Us' Hit No. 1 Tyla Taps Sean Paul for 'Push 2 Start' Remix: Stream It Now Sabrina Carpenter Drops Expanded 'Short n' Sweet' Album Featuring Dolly Parton Collab & More: Stream It Now Haai, 'Can't Stand to Lose' Australia-born, London-based producer Haai returns with her first new music since 2023 via 'Can't Stand to Lose.' A reflection on the fast-paced DJ life and the desire to sometimes slow down, the song takes its time unfurling, creating a nuanced depth and mood evoking both solitude and a crowded club. The artist born Teneil Throssell calls the song 'a reflection on longing, loss, and the deeply human emotions that accompany them – the nostalgia, the yearning, and the vulnerability. It's inspired by our rapidly changing world and how it reshapes our lives: opening possibilities that are initially exciting, but are soon met with the realization of what's lost. It's a meditation on what we gain and what we leave behind.' Her upcoming U.S. shows include the music cruise Friendship, which sets sail from Miami next week, and back to back weekends at Coachella in April. Anyma, Argy & Son of Son, 'Voices In My Head' Having played a whole lot of unreleased music during his Sphere residency, Anyma is now in the process of releasing some of it. A standout moment of the show came during the segment when the venue's screens were filled with thousands of blinking and seemingly sleep-deprived eyes, a segment soundtracked by a song we now know is called 'Voices In My Head.' Out today on Interscope Records, the song is a collaboration with Greek artist Argy and Swedish producer Son of Son and further establishes the dark but still widely accessible melodic techno that is Anyma's signature. Anyma will play his final four dates at Sphere in late February and early March. Sammy Virji, 'I Guess We're Not the Same' After blasting through our earholes with 2024's totally undeniable Interplanetary Criminal collab 'Damager,' white-hot U.K. producer Sammy Virji returns with the mellower but equally compelling 'I Guess We're Not the Same.' Out on Astralwerks, the song's bouncy, singsong vibe juxtaposes with kind of bittersweet lyrics, with the theme also reflected in the track's undertow of a bassline. Virji's upcoming U.S. tour includes appearances at Coachella, Lightning in a Bottle, Movement and Bonnaroo. DJ Minx, 'Blocked' Let us not forget that Valentine's Day is also about self-love and that self-love is a lot about boundaries, sentiments Detroit legend DJ Minx celebrates today with her latest release. 'Delete,' she commands on the track, 'unfollow, removed, blocked,' reminding us all that sometimes taking care of ourselves is as simple as pressing a button and eliminating anything and anyone, that is, as she puts it, 'f–king with my flow.' The wind up house track gives the whole exercise a commanding and celebratory feel. Alok & Kylie Minogue, 'Last Night I Dreamt I Fell in Love' Generational dance royalty Kylie Minogue makes another run for the booth with 'Last Night I Dreamt I Fell In Love,' her first collab with Brazilian producer Alok. Much like the lovey dreamscape it references, the two-minute track has an ephemeral quality, but like a good dream, is also sweet while it lasts. Best of Billboard Chart Rewind: In 1989, New Kids on the Block Were 'Hangin' Tough' at No. 1 Janet Jackson's Biggest Billboard Hot 100 Hits H.E.R. & Chris Brown 'Come Through' to No. 1 on Adult R&B Airplay Chart
