Martin Garrix is expanding his sound. The global superstar has teamed up with Dutch producer Arcando and Swedish vocalist Bonn for his first-ever drum & bass track, “Set Me Free,” now available via STMPD RCRDS.
A Powerful First Step Into Drum & Bass
Known for his festival anthems, Garrix is diving into new territory with this high-energy collaboration. Bonn, a frequent collaborator, opens the track with an emotional verse that leads into an explosive hook: “Set me free.”
His smooth yet commanding vocals soar over thunderous drums and electrifying synths, creating the perfect balance between Arcando’s drum & bass expertise and Garrix’s signature big-room flair.
From Ultra Miami to Global Release
“Set Me Free” first turned heads at Ultra Miami 2025, where Garrix dropped the track live for the first time. The moment instantly went viral as fan-recorded clips spread across social media, generating millions of views and making it one of the most hyped festival IDs of the year.
Arcando shared his excitement about the release:
“Martin and I have been talking about doing a drum & bass record together ever since he played my remix of ‘Jungle’ at Ultra Miami last year. We finally found the perfect blend of our styles, and I couldn’t be happier that this is Martin’s first-ever drum & bass track.”
A Milestone Year for Arcando
2025 has already been a breakthrough year for Arcando. His viral remix of “Jungle” pushed him into the spotlight, helping him climb to #3 on Beatport’s list of best-selling drum & bass artists. He also landed multiple chart-topping releases and an official remix of Garrix’s “Limitless.”
Collaborating on “Set Me Free” marks another milestone in Arcando’s rise, while also solidifying his role as one of the most exciting names in drum & bass today.
What’s Next for Martin Garrix
For Garrix, the release builds anticipation for his upcoming ORIGO EP, due in September. The project is described as the “final missing piece” of a trilogy that includes Sentio and IDEM. Fans can expect “Set Me Free” alongside other long-awaited tracks, including his Alesso collaboration “Inside Our Hearts.”
Outside the studio, Garrix is keeping busy with a packed tour schedule. He’s headlining Creamfields, Ultra Japan, and Breakaway NorCal. His legendary Ushuaïa Ibiza residency is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, while his Omnia Las Vegas residency continues to draw massive crowds. This October, Garrix will also make his long-awaited Red Rocks debut with two back-to-back shows at the iconic amphitheater.
