Hear the Exclusive Debut of Mau P’s New Song ‘Tesla’: ‘No One Believed in This Song’

Among the many big moments of Mau P‘s very big Coachella 2025 set was him dropping a then-unreleased track called “Tesla,” clips of which subsequently lit up the internet.

The same kind of slinky thumper the rapidly rising Dutch producer is making his name on, the song’s lyrics — “I just popped a Tesla, ain’t no need to charge” — wink at the many ways of channeling energy on the dance floor. But while a clear fan-pleaser given the many TikToks and Instagram posts the unreleased track inspired, the way the producer tells it, success wasn’t assured.

“No one believed in this song until I played it at Coachella and it went viral,” Mau P tells Billboard. ‘Always trust your gut and stand on business.”

Standing on business in this case means that “Tesla” is set for release Friday (Aug. 8) via Insomniac Records. Ahead of that, Billboard has the exclusive debut of the track, complete with video from Mau P’s Coachella sets in the festival’s hallowed Sahara tent, which drew tens of thousands of people over the festivals two weekends. Listen to “Tesla” below:

The track’s release tops off a big week for the producer, who launched his Baddest Behavior residency at Pacha Ibiza on Wednesday (Aug. 6) with a lineup that included him, Mita Gami and Discip. Baddest Behavior at Pacha continues every Wednesday night through Oct. 8, with a top tier collection of guests including Seth Troxler, LP Giobbi, Hot Since 82, Haai, WhoMadeWho, Jan Blomqvist and many more.

The producer’s upcoming tour schedule also weaves in festival sets at events including Creamfields, Portola and iii Points along with his own headlining performances at L.A. State Historic Park, Red Rocks Amphitheater and more.
