The announcement is vague enough that the release could take the form of a single, EP or full-length album. If it sounds anything like “Spaceships” though, it will showcase a marginally EDM-influenced hip-hop sound that’s a significant departure from Garrix’s signature progressive house style.

AREA21 will release “Girls” through the Martin Garrix-founded STMPD RCRDS on Friday the 20th. Between this new side project and his upcoming album, the producer looks to have a busy and exciting summer ahead as festival season unfolds.
