Friday's Big Drops: FISHER, HUGEL & Snoop, Afrojack

Data snapshot for chart positions: Sunday, Oct. 18, 2026, 7:08 AM PT. "DJs" = unique DJs over the last 4 weeks on 1001Tracklists' weekly chart.

Friday's new releases didn't wait long. Neither ADRENALINE nor Fight For Love was in 1001Tracklists' trending 20 on Saturday morning. By Sunday morning they sat at No. 7 and No. 17.

Here are four big dance releases from Friday, Oct. 16, the story behind each, and where to catch two of these artists in Los Angeles.

AFROJACK, SOFI TUKKER & Arti Prjct – ADRENALINE

AFROJACK & Arti Prjct & SOFI TUKKER – ADRENALINE is new at No. 7 on 1001TL trending this morning. It's out on Safelight Records, and it got a sneaky soft launch in New York: both acts slipped it into their sets on the same night, SOFI TUKKER at Pacha and AFROJACK at Brooklyn Storehouse, where he opened his CONTROL North American tour. EDMTunes calls it driving, club-focused production with SOFI TUKKER's vocals on top rather than a pop crossover.

SoCal: the CONTROL tour hits the Shrine Expo Hall in Los Angeles on Friday, Nov. 27, presented by Goldenvoice and Framework.

FISHER & LAUREL – Staring At the Sun

FISHER road-tested this one for months, from EDC Las Vegas to Tomorrowland to his Ibiza residency, and it's finally out on his own Catch & Release label. Bright piano chords push it forward, and LAUREL drew on the Greek myth of Icarus for the lyrics. "To me, the song is about meeting someone who feels like your version of the sun," she said in a statement quoted by EDM.com.

It adds to a huge year: FISHER has already landed three No. 1s on Billboard's Dance/Mix Show Airplay chart with Rain, Favour and What a Life.

HUGEL & Snoop Dogg – H.O.U.S.E

This one started in an Instagram inbox. Snoop Dogg messaged HUGEL directly, the two shared a stage at Coachella, and now they have a full single on HUGEL's Make The Girls Dance Records: West Coast drawl over a Latin house groove. Snoop also opens HUGEL's debut album Twenty One, which hit No. 1 on Spotify's Global Dance Albums chart and has passed 650 million streams, according to the release campaign.

HUGEL's earlier hit is still working too: HUGEL & Imael Angel & Ultra Naté – Movin' To The Sun holds at No. 36 on the 1001TL weekly chart (32 DJs).

SoCal: HUGEL plays Reframe Studios Outdoors in Los Angeles on Saturday, Oct. 24. Framework lists it as sold out, with a waitlist.

Alesso & Kaitlin Aragon – Fight For Love

Alesso & Kaitlin Aragon – Fight For Love entered 1001TL trending at No. 17. Fans already knew it as an ID: Alesso played it at Ultra Japan and EDC Colombia before the release. It's out on Capitol Records.
