Mando Diao
Dance With Somebody (Radio Version)
Mando Diao trade garage-rock grit for a disco-rock floor-filler, a pulsing four-on-the-floor beat and a shout-along chorus about needing someone to dance with.

7 tracks.
Foster The People
Pumped Up Kicks
A breezy, whistled indie-pop earworm with a chilling story underneath: the demo Mark Foster wrote and recorded alone in five hours, which went viral in 2010 and spent eight weeks at number three in the US.
Arctic Monkeys
Snap Out Of It
Alex Turner pleads with a lover to wake up from someone else's spell over a swaggering, hand-clapped shuffle and a chorus hook that sticks for days: the sixth single from AM.
Arctic Monkeys
R U Mine?
Arctic Monkeys turn a jealous late-night text into a riff-heavy stomp, with Alex Turner's rapid-fire wordplay riding a fuzzed-out, swaggering guitar line.
Arctic Monkeys
Do I Wanna Know?
A heavy, crawling riff, stomping handclaps and a late-night text that should never have been sent: Do I Wanna Know? turns romantic doubt into slow-burning swagger.
Pigeon John
The Bomb
The Los Angeles rapper Pigeon John opens his 2010 album Dragon Slayer with The Bomb, a bright, bouncing single co-produced with General Elektriks' Hervé Salters from sampled live instrumentation rather than old records.
alt-J
Breezeblocks
A lullaby with teeth: alt-J's 2012 breakthrough wraps an obsessive love song, borrowed in part from Where the Wild Things Are, in plucked guitar, close harmonies and a refrain that piles up until it will not let go.
