PNAU Announces Seventh Album AHHCade with EARTHGANG Collaboration

PNAU has announced their seventh studio album, AHHCade, arriving July 31 via Sydney indie label etcetc, part of TMRW Music. The announcement comes alongside the release of new single 'Nirvana,' a collaboration with Atlanta hip-hop duo EARTHGANG and a new project called sadMONTH.

The album already includes 'Tu Corazon (Your Heart),' a recent release featuring Mexican rock act The Warning. With more collaborations still to be announced, PNAU is clearly building toward something bigger than a standard album rollout.

What AHHCade Signals for Electronic Music in 2025

Nick Littlemore describes the album as a collection of 'heart songs,' ones rooted in electronics but built around emotional resonance and a sense of community on the dancefloor. That framing matters. It positions AHHCade not as a genre exercise but as a statement about why electronic music connects people in the first place.

The 'Nirvana' single leans into that energy hard. EARTHGANG brought what they call 'euphoric and enlightened' energy to the record, and Littlemore describes the result as 'fierce, feverish' with roots in punk-electronic territory. It is a left-field pairing on paper, but the execution points to PNAU operating without guardrails.

The duo has a track record that earns them that kind of creative latitude. Their 2012 collaboration with Elton John on the remix album Good Morning to the Night hit No. 1 on the Official U.K. Albums Chart. In 2021, PNAU and Elton teamed with Dua Lipa on 'Cold Heart,' which became a genuine global hit. AHHCade is the follow-up to 2024's Sambanova, and the trajectory here points upward.

PNAU Nirvana Tour 2026: Australian Dates

To support the album, PNAU kicks off the Australian leg of their Nirvana Tour 2026 on June 19 at Gilligan's in Cairns. The East Coast run wraps July 4 at Woodport Hotel in Erina. More dates are expected as the album release gets closer.

For independent artists and producers, PNAU's approach is worth paying attention to. They are releasing through an indie label, stacking collaborators from different scenes and countries, and building album rollout momentum through singles that feel like standalone events rather than promotional placeholders. The sadMONTH project, a new creative outlet co-founded by Littlemore himself, also shows how established artists are building parallel projects to expand their creative range without diluting the main brand.

If you are an independent artist looking to connect your work with an audience that takes electronic music and cross-genre collaboration seriously, [submit your music](/submit) and get in front of the right people. The artists pushing the culture forward right now are the ones who are not waiting for permission.
