Whilk & Misky
I Want Your Lovin' (Edit)
Whilk & Misky's London soul-pop at its most direct: a warm, swinging groove and a voice that asks for exactly one thing, over and over, until you want it too.

14 tracks.
Whilk & Misky
Clap Your Hands
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.
Whilk & Misky
Babe I'm Yours
A hushed, smoky vocal floats over plucked folk guitar and a slow electronic pulse, turning a simple declaration of devotion into a late-night confession.
Claptone, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah
Ghost
Claptone sets Alec Ounsworth's fragile, quavering indie vocal over a patient deep house groove, a dancefloor track that sounds like it is mourning something.
Bob Moses
Tearing Me Up
Bob Moses stretch a smoky, heartsick vocal across a slow-burning deep house groove, all brooding guitar, rolling bass and late-night tension that never quite breaks; its RAC remix won a Grammy.
AWOLNATION
Sail
A slow, menacing electro-rock crawl that erupts into a howled confession, AWOLNATION's Sail is equal parts dread and release.
Indiana
Solo Dancing
A hypnotic, synth-driven song about dancing alone, the 2014 single that took the Nottingham singer Indiana to number 14 in the UK and became the centre of her debut album No Romeo.
Ultraísta
Smalltalk
'Smalltalk' is the 2012 lead single of Ultraísta, the trio of Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich, drummer Joey Waronker and singer Laura Bettinson: layered synthesizers and afrobeat-minded drums under a plea to stop the small talk, heard here in Four Tet's garage-shuffle remix.
AnnenMayKantereit x Parcels
Can't Get You Out of My Head (Cover)
AnnenMayKantereit and Parcels join forces on a stripped-back cover of Kylie Minogue's 'Can't Get You Out of My Head', trading the original's cool electronic pulse for Henning May's rough voice and close band harmonies.
Roseaux
Walking on the Moon
The French collective Roseaux and the American soul singer Aloe Blacc turn the Police's 1979 reggae hit into an unhurried soul song, the most famous track of their 2012 album of covers.
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.
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.
Lipka
No More Beer
A Geneva duo stops the party to break the worst possible news: a wry, shout-along electro-indie track in which the DJ is told to cut the music because the beer is running out.
