Jazz isn’t just for lounging—it’s a rhythm-packed playground for dancers. In 2025, artists are blending classic swing with futuristic beats, creating tracks that’ll make your feet move whether you’re in a club or your living room. Here are the must-know jazz grooves of the year.
"Midnight Stomp"
by Thelonious Nova ft. Maya BrightA hypnotic mix of bebop piano riffs and a deep house-inspired bassline. The breakdown at 2:30 will have you spinning like it’s 1955 meets 2025. Perfect for improvised partner work.
"Brass in Motion"
by Havana CollectiveCuban jazz meets afrobeat with a brass section that demands hip isolations. The 7/4 time signature in the bridge? Challenge accepted. Pro tip: Let your shoulders lead.
"Pixelated Blues"
by DJ Spiral x Esther KingA glitchy, sample-heavy tribute to Billie Holiday with a trap backbeat. The AI-generated scat vocals (controversial, we know) somehow work when you’re popping and locking.
"Swing the Void"
by Cosmic QuartetImagine Count Basie scoring a sci-fi film—this is the result. The theremin solo paired with a walking bassline creates a surreal yet danceable vibe. Ideal for liquid dancing.
