Following the breakout success of her previous single “Keep Moving,” which surpassed 250,000 streams and received major playlist support, MARTA returns with a bigger and more explosive dance floor statement, her next single “The Heat” which, to its namesake, is turning things up a notch for the ever ascending Toronto-based producer and DJ. Arriving on Thrive Music on May 22nd MARTA is quickly emerging as one of the country’s most exciting rising forces in dance music.
Having shared the decks with artists including John Summit, Dom Dolla, Chris Lake, Mau P, Max Styler and more. MARTA has built a reputation for dynamic sets that bridge underground energy with mainstage intensity.
Where “Keep Moving” explored momentum and personal growth, “The Heat” captures the physical and emotional electricity of a packed club at its peak, the moment when the music connects everyone in the room.
“The Heat” is MARTA’s most high-impact dance record to date, a driving club track built around tension, energy, and release. Gritty, hypnotic, and unapologetically club-forward, the track rides a driving groove with sultry, loop-ready vocals that pull you deeper into it.
Blending underground house rhythms with indie dance intensity, “The Heat” represents where MARTA’s sound is heading while maintaining the emotional edge that defines her sound. Landing just in time for summer, it’s set to live in dark venues, big rooms, and longer nights.
‘The Heat is about that moment when the energy in a room shifts and you can feel it physically. When the crowd really locks in, it feels like a moment in my sets where I’m most in my bag.I wanted this one to feel like you’re caught in a moment you don’t want to leave.’ – MARTA
As MARTA continues to bridge the worlds of Indie Dance and Tech House, her 2026 releases are positioning her as one of Toronto’s most exciting new voices in electronic music, an artist equally at home in underground clubs and on global festival stages.
