Whilk & Misky
The 2014 breakthrough of the London duo Whilk & Misky: a barefoot, bossa-nova-tinged acoustic song with handclaps for percussion, played on Zane Lowe's Radio 1 show and later carried onto dance floors by a Solomun remix.
DJ Patife
Fernanda Porto's breezy bossa melody rides a rolling São Paulo drum and bass break, sunlit samba swing meeting rattling breakbeats and deep sub-bass.
Nouvelle Vague
Nouvelle Vague turn the Dead Kennedys' punk satire into a hushed bossa nova sung by Camille, a 2004 cover whose softness makes the lyric more absurd and more unsettling than the original's noise.
Louie Austen
'One Night In Rio' by Louie Austen is a tongue-in-cheek electro-lounge story from 2001: a Viennese hotel-bar crooner, then in his fifties, counting off a tour from Rio to LA to Moscow and complaining about a taxi, with backing singers echoing every line.
