Discolight (Hrdvsion's NSD Mix)

Funky Fat & Digitaria
You Bring Me Down
Two Brazilian acts, the Belo Horizonte trio Funky Fat and the duo Digitaria, meet on Jamie Jones and Lee Foss's label Hot Creations in 2012: a slower, electro-slanted house track of soaring synths, grumbling stabs and breathy vocals.
Fernanda Porto
Sambassim
Fernanda Porto's own Sambassim: the São Paulo composer's song that fused samba and bossa nova melody with electronic beats and helped name a style, drum 'n' bossa.
Fatboy Slim
Sunset (Bird of Prey)
'Sunset (Bird of Prey)' is Fatboy Slim's 2000 single built around Jim Morrison's voice, sampled from the Doors' 'Bird of Prey': a slow-rising, sun-bleached dance track whose video sends a 1960s fighter pilot on a hallucination.
Caravan Palace
Lone Digger
Caravan Palace's 2015 single fuses 1930s-style swing with club beats and Zoé Colotis's voice, and its animated video of a brawl in a bar full of animals made it one of the most-watched electro-swing tracks ever.
Whilk & Misky
Darklands
'Darklands' is one of the first two songs the London duo Whilk & Misky ever wrote: a slow-burning blend of blues guitar, electronic production and a voice that starts quietly and ends up belting, from their 2014 debut EP The First Sip.
Deluxe
Tum Rakak
'Tum Rakak' is a song by Deluxe, the moustachioed band from Aix-en-Provence: a funky live-band groove in B-flat minor with Liliboy singing a gleefully absurd lyric about curiosity, party crumbs and a truck that reeks in the heat.
Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs
Garden
Orlando Higginbottom's breakthrough as Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs: lush synths, a dance-floor pulse and Luisa Gerstein's voice, first on a 2010 Greco-Roman EP and then a 2011 Polydor single that soundtracked Nokia's Lumia adverts.
Timo Maas
Shifter
Timo Maas's 'Shifter', featuring MC Chickaboo, is a driving 2002 single from his debut album Loud: German club production at the meeting point of house and breakbeat, with an MC riding the groove; a UK top 40 hit.
Sleaford Mods
Tweet Tweet Tweet
'Tweet Tweet Tweet' by Sleaford Mods is a gritty post-punk rant born on a dismal bus ride, aimed at people lost in their phones and at the politics of 2014 England, filmed here live for KEXP in 2023: one man pressing play, one man spitting fire.
Mirwais
Naïve Song
Mirwais, the former Taxi Girl guitarist who would soon produce Madonna's Music, sets a vocoded voice against stop-start acoustic guitar and retro synths: a 2000 French electro single that reached number two on the US club chart.
Miike Snow
Paddling Out
Miike Snow's 2012 lead single sets sing-along melancholy over glitchy piano chords and a four-on-the-floor house beat, recorded in a Stockholm studio once used by ABBA.
Kutiman
Inner Galactic Lovers
'Inner Galactic Lovers' is Kutiman's 2015 song assembled from parts recorded by 24 freelance musicians in a dozen countries: an ethereal, funky collage in which every player was hired online and never met the others.

Moments
A warm deep house song from Klangkarussell's 2014 debut album Netzwerk, sung by Will Heard, the English voice of the Austrian duo's UK hit Sonnentanz (Sun Don't Shine).
K.Flay
High Enough
K.Flay's breakthrough answers a decade of songs about getting high with a question, what if I'm already high enough: breezy rhythm, bubbly guitar lines and a sing-song flow produced by Mike Elizondo.
Joris Delacroix
Epoque
Joris Delacroix closes his 2018 album Night Visions with Epoque, seven minutes of melodic deep house in which soft, piano-trained melodies ride a steady, driving pulse.
Jan Blomqvist
Time Again
Jan Blomqvist's 2014 summer hit sets his soft, echoing voice, Felix Lehmann's Rhodes piano and two guitars over a minimal deep house pulse, the sound of the Berlin 'concert techno' he helped bring to big stages.
Felix Da Housecat
Silver Screen (Shower Scene)
Felix Da Housecat's 2001 electroclash single: a melody sampled from The Flirts' 'Passion', Miss Kittin's cool, spoken-sung vocal and a lyric of starlets and cameras, the record that opened Kittenz and Thee Glitz.
The Chemical Brothers
The Salmon Dance
The Chemical Brothers hand the microphone to Fatlip of The Pharcyde for a deadpan rap about a fish-inspired dance: a bubbling, funky detour on their Grammy-winning 2007 album We Are the Night.
The Chemical Brothers
Star Guitar
'Star Guitar' is The Chemical Brothers' slowly blooming 2002 single, built on four bars of acoustic guitar sampled from David Bowie's 'Starman', and the song behind Michel Gondry's famous one-shot train-window video.
Basement Freaks
Soul Intoxication (Lonely Boy's Detox Dub)
Los Angeles producer Lonely Boy strips a funk track by the Greek producer Basement Freaks down to a hypnotic house dub, issued on Jalapeno Records in 2013 and later picked up by French lounge compilations.
Alif Tree
Forgotten Places
'Forgotten Places' is a hushed downtempo piece by the Marseille producer Alif Tree, built around a sampled voice of the jazz singer Shirley Horn and released on Compost Records in 2006: nu-jazz that sounds like a memory being replayed.
Zwicker
Oddity (feat. Olivera Stanimirov)
'Oddity' is a discofied highlight of Zurich producer Zwicker's 2009 album Songs of Lucid Dreamers on Compost Records: propulsive beats, a funky bass line and xylophone under the voice of guest singer Olivera Stanimirov.
