Listen to Martin Jensen’s New ‘HYPEBEAST’ EP

If you’ve been watching the dance music world with any interest over the past decade, you already know Martin Jensen isn’t here to play it safe. The Danish DJ and producer — already known for chart-toppers and globe-spanning sets — has always flirted with genre disruption. But on HYPEBEAST, he throws the rulebook out entirely.

This five-track EP boldly states that collaboration is the new currency, and genre is a playground, not a cage.

From the jump, the title track “HYPEBEAST” sets the tone. It’s slick, bouncy, and unapologetically modern. The hook, “Hypebeast, she don’t wear no Fashion Nova cos that shit ain’t pricey,” is sharp, playful, and dripping with self-awareness. Martin Jensen teams up with SAVI and South Korean breakout Eliana, weaving R&B smoothness into the kind of jagged, bass-heavy drop that would feel right at home at both Coachella and a Seoul warehouse rave. It’s an opening shot that signals this project won’t be content sitting in one lane.

Then comes “FOOD TRUCK,” a track that plays out like a neon-lit joyride through late-night city streets. MADDS and Bradeazy bring the vibes — the former’s Vegas-honed festival energy colliding with Bradeazy’s viral house sensibilities. It’s a melting pot of pop-house, UK rap, and streetwise swagger that somehow manages to be both laid-back and dancefloor-ready.

“YOUR MAMA” is where the EP finds its most brazen humor. This one’s cheeky — even borderline theatrical — but there’s enough production finesse to keep it grounded. The lyric, “Think about how your best friend could become your best Dad,” feels like it belongs in a Gen Z rom-com, but the deep funk grooves and tight vocal interplay between Roxy Ferrari and I.D.O. elevate it from novelty to certified club weapon. The beat bounces, the bass snarls, and the confidence is through the roof.

“ANIMAL” goes full primal. It’s big-room energy with a global twist — think Tomorrowland meets Tokyo underground. Jensen pulls in Yako and Kromi, whose vocals and production touch add texture and scale to what might be the EP’s most feral track. It builds, swells, and explodes, proving again that when Martin Jensen goes maximalist, he does it with precision.

The closer, “YES, PLEASE,” is pure indulgence. This one’s for the VIP section, the late-night pool party, the jet ski selfie. But under the flash is careful craftsmanship. Sami Brielle’s vocals are breezy but punchy, Carrie Keller’s production gives it a sultry, Afro house edge, and Hektor Maas delivers a groove that’s both underground cool and mainstage certified. It’s a song that screams “luxury escapism” but keeps its feet firmly planted in smart musicality.

Martin Jensen has always been a crowd-pleaser, but HYPEBEAST shows he’s also a curator of culture. With billions of streams and a global fanbase, he could easily stick to the formula. Instead, he’s giving rising artists a platform and a seat at the table — and better yet, letting them help flip the table entirely.
