5 House Music Songs from 2025 to Check Out

Tech house and funky house continue to dominate dance floors in 2025, placing groove, bass, and rhythm firmly at center stage - especially within silent disco scenes. With music delivered directly through headphones, tracks built on tight percussion, filthy bass lines, and infectious funk translate better than ever. Here are 5 tracks from 2025 - in no particular order - to check out.

According to Resident Advisor, tech house remains one of the most versatile club genres thanks to its blend of house grooves and techno-inspired structure.

DANGEROUS DRUG – Loofy (with Desire)

Moody, hypnotic, and mmm.... so nice! Dangerous Drug excels to epic glory during late-night dance parties and quiet club moments.

Loofy (Jake Lee) injects his grassroots inspo of Chicago deep-house, disco and funk into every track he produces.

An anthem with deep luscious tones and rolling rhythm, Dangerous Drug feels intimately cinematic and introspective, all at the same time.

Originally from Australia, Loofy cut his teeth in the Chicago-house scene, where he developed his sound through years of good ole' fashion DJ'ing and AB testing tracks in his studio. Loofy's melodic yet driving approach to house music helped him break into international lineups and collaborations, ultimately serving up an atmospheric arrangement of delightfully-deep tech house.

UR LUV – ESSEL

A punchy and delicious mix, sprinkled with fluffy dollops of garage and house motifs, ESSEL’s UR LUV reminisces tasty post-pop arrangements like a double-dutch session at the after afters - and by tasty, we mean it eats.

ESSEL, known for her infectious personality and intuitive sensibility for arranging funky house melodies.

A relative newcomer to the house music industry, there is nothing immature about ESSEL’s sound. Deep bass overtures threaded with classic, poppy hooks pay homage to her Liverpudlian roots while staying true to her filthy and flavorful signature “Sunday sound.” And with every banger she releases - Bubblegum, Love Vibration, Lennon, Hit EM Up Style - major house labels are increasingly recognizing ESSEL as one of the most exciting names to watch in the house music industry.

CRY FOR YOU – SIDEPIECE

Nitti Gritti (left) and Party Favor of SIDEPIECE

Blending emotion with effervescent tech house flavor, Cry For You seamlessly layers nostalgic vocal elements over underground grooves. SIDEPIECE - Nitti Gritti (Ricky Mears) and Party Favor (Dylan Ragland) - remain a defining force in modern tech house, consistently delivering tracks that connect.

Their productions feel equally at home in intimate club settings, festival stages, and headphone-driven dance floors.

With a clear and present understanding of what moves bodies to and on the dance floor, the LA–based collaboration sits squarely at the forefront of a broader trend in house music where accessibility blends with underground credibility oh so perfectly.

DISCO INFERNO – NIIKO x SWAE

Made for grooving under electric lights all night long, this funky-forward anthem delivers salty bass riffs that capture the classic disco spirit while deliciously melting into a nostalgic yet modern tech-house framework.

Niiko (Nikolaus Becker), left, and Swae (Mark Manchester) make funky, disco house sounds, heavily influenced by their New York City roots.

Disco Inferno manages to deliver a one-of-a-kind track that invites movement, swagger, and feel-good funky house you can groove to until dawn. Emerging from NYC’s underground and club-focused house scene, NIIKO x SWAE’s sound was shaped by the city’s blend of disco, funk, and modern tech house influences. Their plethora of groove-infused house revival tracks puts NIIKO x SWAE into a strong position to continue breathing new life into house music scenes and silent club parties alike.

LONDON'S ON FIRE – Chris Lorenzo

Woo-weee, this track is quite literally on fiya! Chris Lorenzo never fails to deliver peak-time weapons, and London’s On Fire is no exception.

Lorenzo founded his label Late Checkout Records in 2022 to support new electronic music innovators.

Hailing from Birmingham, England, Lorenzo grew up immersed in the UK’s industrial, counter-culture scene that launched legends like Ozzy Osbourne (Black Sabbath) and Mike Skinner (The Streets).

Early exposure to grimy house and garage at iconic venues like LAB11 and Tunnel helped form Lorenzo's palette before leading him to his Shangri-la as a globally-influential artist and producer. His juicy bass overtures and tech-layered vocal chops deliver Lorenzo’s signature momentum like a love letter to his hometown-adjacent city. In a silent disco environment, this track shines - its low-end punch and crisp percussion feel immersive and physical through headphones.

Funky-Tech House for Silent Disco Grooves

Silent discos amplify the details that matter most. Without booming speakers, listeners hear every bass wobble, hi-hat shuffle, and vocal hook. Funky and tech house excel in this format because they’re rhythm-driven, minimal yet expressive, and built to keep bodies moving.
