Electric Callboy have officially shifted the party into overdrive. The German electro-metal powerhouse has announced their long-awaited new album "TANZNEID", set for release on August 7, 2026, via Century Media Records. Alongside the announcement, the band has dropped explosive new single "Hypercharged," born from an unlikely but undeniably fitting collaboration with global mobile gaming phenomenon Brawl Stars.

Electric Callboy on their new single and Brawl Stars collab:

“We’ve always been massive gaming fans, so teaming up with Brawl Stars felt like a perfect match from the start. The track came together naturally, and we loved seeing it take shape as Damian’s theme. Damian fits our sound like he was built for it. Heavy, explosive, and impossible to ignore. It’s pressure, groove, and madness all at once. We love it!“

"Hypercharged" also doubles as the theme for Damian, a brand-new character introduced into the Brawl Stars universe through the partnership. At the time of writing, the music video has been out for less than an hour and already has 1.6 million likes, which is absolutely massive.

It’s pressure, groove, and madness all at once. We love it!“

"TANZNEID" marks the follow-up to 2022's "TEKKNO", an album that generated nearly a billion streams and helped the band sell over 200,000 tickets on a globe-spanning world tour. It's no small act to follow. The band addressed the weight of it head-on, describing "TANZNEID" as something that took everything out of them — intense and exhausting in equal measure, but ultimately the record they needed to make. They pushed the "TEKKNO" blueprint further, loading it with new sounds, new extremes, and an energy built specifically for the stage.

Pre-orders are live now in a dizzying array of collector's editions — vinyl variants ranging from Neon Pink to Sea Blue Glitter to a hand-numbered Electric Pink Liquid Vinyl limited to just 500 copies worldwide, alongside box sets featuring NFC fan cards, a buildable stage set, and Neverrift Trading Card booster packs. Exclusive variants are spread across retailers, including Hot Topic, Revolver, HMV UK, and Sumerian.

The album cycle reaches its peak at Escalation Fest 2026 in Berlin, where Electric Callboy will perform "TANZNEID" live for the very first time. The event promises an Electric Bassboy DJ Set, new remixes, an actual TEKKNO TRAIN, and a headline performance at the Wuhlheide — essentially transforming the festival into an elaborate album release party.

Meanwhile, their "TANZNEID" World Tour is already underway across North America, hitting venues from the Kia Forum in Los Angeles and Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison to Brooklyn Paramount and MGM Music Hall at Fenway, with support from Polaris and Scene Queen through the run.

"TANZNEID" is out August 7 via Century Media Records.
