One of dance music most compelling new artists lands on Eli Brown’s respected imprint with a powerful two-tracker — out today.
Following a standout run that has seen her emerge as one of the most exciting new names in electronic music, Linska debuts on Arcane Music with a two-track offering, Criminal EP.
After kicking off 2026 with the acclaimed World & Back alongside grime icon Riko Dan, which including being playlisted on Capital Dance and Sirius XM (Pitbull’s Globalization New Music Friday) and supported on BBC Radio 1, Linska continues her ascent with a release that showcases the raw energy, vocal-led hooks, and peak-time intensity that have become synonymous with her sound. Having spent the past few months locked in the studio, Criminal EP marks the beginning of a new chapter, with a steady stream of new music and her first full North American tour on the horizon.
Leading the release is the title track “Criminal”, a collaboration with Polish duo Duss that pairs infectious vocal chops with driving drums and relentless low-end pressure, built for maximum impact on festival stages and packed club floors alike. On the flip side, “Four Four” sees Linska team up with British singer and songwriter rhys from the sticks, delivering a high-energy cut that fuses underground attitude with unmistakable UK influences, combining punchy grooves, memorable vocals, and rave-ready momentum.
The EP arrives as Linska’s profile continues to soar. Since breaking through with her debut solo release “Bad Boy” in 2025, she has headlined sold-out shows at Concourse Project in Austin and Sound Nightclub in Los Angeles, while appearing at some of North America’s most celebrated festivals includingCoachella, Lightning in a Bottle, and EDC Las Vegas. Summer 2026 was also highlighted by her Tomorrowland debut. It’s no surprise she’s been recognised across a string of industry awards and accolades, including a nomination forBeatport’s One to Watch, inclusion in Tomorrowland’s 20 of 2025: Most Promising Artists to Watch, and winning 1001Tracklists Future of Dance Award 2025.
With Criminal EP, Linska delivers a statement release for Arcane Music, further cementing her position as one of dance music’s most compelling rising artists.
Linksa reflects on her debut release on Arcane: “This record feels like a true extension of myself: unapologetically British, Jamaican and Polish with a taste of the energy you feel from my shows. “Criminal” with Polish producers Duss is dark, melodic and uncompromising, with a commanding Patois vocal. “Four Four” with British vocalist rhys from the sticks is punchy, mod and firmly tongue-in-cheek.
“The through-line is the energy and attitude in each track. I’ve never asked permission to occupy more than one space, and I’m not starting now. I guess this is what happens when you stop trying to fit in a box and just make the thing… more reason as to why I’m proud this EP has found its home with Arcane.”
Linska’s ‘Criminal EP’ is out now on Arcane Music.
