Dom Dolla has announced he’s set to drop a brand new banger this October – a tune he said has been “sneaking” into his sets.

Revealing the news over Instagram, Dom said: “Brand new music 😍♥️ So excited to finally be releasing this one… it’s a happy little banger I’ve been sneaking it into my sets over the last 12 months.”

“A lot of you have been singing the words to it at my shows, which makes me feel like it’s the right time. ‘Saving Up’ 💰 is coming October 6.”

The news caused a flurry of excitement in the comments, with fellow DJ John Summit writing, “This one’s a vibeeee 🔥”, while Australia’s own Torren Foot added, “SAVVE URRR LOVE FORR MEEEEE ❤️❤️❤️”.

To say the Melbourne-born EDM star has had a major year is an understatement — earlier this month, the Eat Your Man hitmaker was nominated for a whopping six ARIA Awards.

Rhyme Dust earned him a nod for Best Dance / Electronic Release – an award he’d previously won in 2020 for San Frandisco, and had been nominated for 2017, 2019 and 2021 – as well as the YouTube-presented Song Of The Year award.

It was Eat Your Man, though, that scored him the bulk of his bows: Best Solo Artist, Best Engineered Release and Best Produced Release. Rounding it all out is his nomination for Best Australian Live Act, which he earned for his summer festival run at the top of the year.

Of the impressive slew of noms, Dom told Purple Sneakers, “It feels crazy. It honestly hasn't sunk in – I don't know if it's gonna sink in 'til I get there. I'm bugging out. I'm speechless, to be honest.”

The house music heavyweight hit an expected peak in February with his MK joint Rhyme Dust, not only marking his seventh #1 hit on the ARIA Club Chart, but his Top 40 debut (topping out at #32 on the main Top 100 Singles Chart).

He chased that high in June with the Nelly Furtado-assisted Eat Your Man, arguably hitting another peak with his biggest collaboration yet. It didn’t have quite the same impact on Top 40 radio (tapping out at #84) but of course, it came as another smash hit on the club charts.

So will Saving Up match the hype of its predecessors? We’re going to take a wild guess and assume yes.
