Martin Garrix Releases New EP “Origo”
Dutch DJ Martin Garrix released a new EP “Origo” on October 24, 2025.
The EP is the last release in a trilogy, following following the 2022 album “Sentio” and the 2024 EP “IDEM”.
Initially, the EP was supposed to be released in September, but finally it be released in October.
The EP comprises 8 tracks, featuring collaborations with AFROJACK, Alesso, Amél, Arcando, Armin van Buuren, Citadelle, David Guetta, Matisse & Sadko, R3HAB, Saksham, Shaun Farrugia, Skytech, BARBZ, BONN, Libby Whitehouse and Scott Quinn.
Produced by Martin Garrix, AFROJACK, Albin Nedler, Alesso, Amél, Arcando, Armin van Buuren, Citadelle, David Guetta, KLIPTO, Matisse & Sadko, R3HAB, Saksham and Skytech.
Martin Garrix said of the EP, “My career began with club music, ever since 'Animals' came out 12 years ago. Over the years, I've released many different styles, but I've always tried to stay true to my roots. This EP reflects upon that journey - it's the missing piece that connects everything and takes fans to where it all began - the origin.”- He continued, “ORIGO the final missing piece after Sentio and IDEM. All three are heavy club-driven projects built around the most requested IDs from sets over the years. ORIGO marks the end (for now) of the club-focused releases and gives tribute to the roots I started with Animals. A loop ends and a new era begins.”

Martin Garrix explained some tracks for the EP.
“Ain't Letting You Down” with Saksham, featuring Scott Quinn
Scott Quinn: “4 weeks ago, an unexpected message from Martin Garrix turned into a studio session in London. It's an honour to share this one with Martin and Saksham, and to have made it with a bunch of bloody talented people. A lot of you won't know who I am, but the support today has genuinely meant the world. I'm a happy singer who writes sad songs, and while I release music in a completely different world to EDM, I believe there's magic in all music - and this track has some of that in it. It's to be felt, not just heard.”
“Our Time” with AFROJACK, David Guetta and Amél
AFROJACK: “I'm incredibly proud to be part of this project and to have our lives intertwined the way they are. This release brings together four generations – it's a story that represents all of us, from where we started to where we are now. This is our time.”
“Inside Our Hearts” with Alesso and Shaun Farrugia
Martin Garrix: “Finally giving the people what they want. 2 years later but we're here for it. 'Inside Our Hearts' is in fact alive. Premiered the final version at Ultra Europe last night and it was special.”
Alesso: “We wanted to make a song that felt timeless. 'Inside Our Hearts' features lyrics that are so meaningful to both of us. We set out to write a song that captures the feeling of the best era of dance music.”
“Sleepless Nights” with Armin van Buuren, featuring Libby Whitehouse
Martin Garrix: “We've been playing this one for some time now.. Armin van Buuren feels right to finally release it!!”
Armin van Buuren: “After many years of being friends we finally made it work. 'Sleepless Nights' with Libby Whitehouse & Martin Garrix is now yours”
Libby Whitehouse: “Feels so crazy to even be saying this but Sleepless Nights with Martin Garrix, Armin van Buuren & me is out now!!!! Thank you for letting me be a part of this, you guys are literally the best ever.”
“Set Me Free” with Arcando, featuring BONN
Martin Garrix: “Set Me Free together with Arcando is my first drum and bass song!!”
Arcando: “Martin and I have been talking about doing a drum & bass record together ever since he played my remix of 'Jungle' at Ultra Miami last year,. We wanted to recreate that special moment by working on a drum & bass song together, something fresh for 2025. We eventually managed to find the perfect blend between both of our styles. I'm so excited to finally have the song coming out, especially as it is also Martin's first-ever drum & bass record.”
“Voodoo” with R3HAB & Skytech
Martin Garrix: “It took us a year to get together in the same room and finish the track but I'm so excited about this club release. Like R3HAB described it has this haunting feel type of vocal, the track is super energetic and Skytech brought all the power. I've been playing it for some time now and it's really one of the key moments of my set.”
“Butterflies” with Matisse & Sadko, featuring BARBZ
Matisse & Sadko: “We met Martijn when he was just 18. None of us imagined that years later we'd still be sharing studios, stages, and memories like these. 'Butterflies' marks collab number 9, but what matters most is that the vibe has always been the same. And of course shoutout to BARBZ for her amazing vocals.”
BARBZ: “Out Now! Where Should I start from. I really don't have words. I'm so grateful. Thank you Shaun Farrugia for making this happen. I couldn't be more grateful. Martin Garrix thank you so much. What a beautiful journey we had... cheers to many more , you are amazing! Matisse & Sadko really happy that we got to release this song together with Martin:) ps. Recorded first time in Hannover until 7am and then a couples days later in London. What an insane jouney?!” - source : Apple Music
