60 tracks.

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.

The Supermen Lovers, Herr Styler, Cristine

C'est bon

A flirtatious slice of French pop-funk house from Guillaume Atlan's project, two voices trading lines over a springy bassline until the title becomes a shrugging, grinning verdict on the night.

Robin Schulz

Sugar

Sun-bleached deep house with a soul hook: Robin Schulz builds a sweet, bouncing groove around Francesco Yates and an interpolation of Baby Bash's 2003 'Suga Suga', a number one in seven countries in 2015.

Platinum Doug

Move On (Original Club Mix)

A punchy, no-nonsense club mix from the Swiss house producer Platinum Doug on Enormous Tunes, where a repeated vocal hook and a bouncing bassline push the dance floor forward bar after bar.

Pharrell Williams

Happy

Handclaps, a bouncing bassline, Pharrell's falsetto and a gospel-tinged chorus make his Despicable Me 2 song a pure shot of sunshine that became the best-selling song of 2014.

Nicolas Jaar

Time For Us

A young Nicolas Jaar's slow, sultry minimal-house classic, a crooned vocal and dusty, swaying textures that famously sink from dance tempo into a long, swooning breakdown nobody wants to mix out of.

Marcus Marr & Chet Faker

The Trouble With Us

Marcus Marr and Chet Faker (Nick Murphy) recorded this disco-funk jam in four days in a Brixton studio in July 2015: a funk-flecked guitar riff and a soulful plea about a relationship going wrong, made into a reason to dance.

Lilly Wood and The Prick, Robin Schulz

Prayer in C (Robin Schulz Radio Edit)

Robin Schulz lifts a mournful 2010 French folk-pop song onto a bouncing deep house beat, Nili Hadida's bleak prayer and a looping guitar riff becoming a number one across Europe in 2014.

Kosheen

Addict

Deep, dark bass, insistent drums and Sian Evans' voice cutting through the fog: Addict opens Kosheen's Independence with the pull of something you cannot quit.

Jain

Mr Johnson

Handclap-light percussion, a bouncing bass and Jain's playful, slightly mischievous delivery make Mr Johnson one of Zanaka's sunniest little stories.

Jain

Hope

Jain's light, sing-song voice, her own drum programming and Yodelice's bass and trombone carry a small, sunny plea for a better world, the title track of her first EP in 2015.

Hindi Zahra

Music (Remastered Version)

Hindi Zahra sings a love letter to music itself, her warm, smoky voice swaying over interlocking guitars and soft percussion that blend folk, soul and Berber roots.

Her

Her

The French duo Her name their manifesto after themselves: a slow, sensual indie soul track of muted beats, warm bass and a voice that leans right into the microphone.

Gorgon City, Zak Abel, Dj Anna

Unmissable (DJ Anna Remix)

DJ Anna pulls Gorgon City's pop single into the dark: a heavy rolling bassline, Zak Abel's soulful voice in fragments and nearly eight minutes of late-night pressure.

Glass Animals

Gooey

Glass Animals' breakout is a slow, syrupy jungle of a love song, Dave Bayley's murmured vocal drifting over finger-snap beats, soft guitar and a bassline that oozes.

Gin Wigmore

New Rush

Gin Wigmore's 2015 comeback single, co-written with Charlie Andrew, hits like a jolt of adrenaline: pounding drums and a chant-along chorus pushing her husky voice towards a fresh start after a stifling relationship.

Gabriella Cilmi

Cry Me A River (Live Version)

A sixteen-year-old Gabriella Cilmi takes Justin Timberlake's 2002 break-up hit into smoky, live soul territory with a three-piece band: a 2008 B-side recorded by Xenomania, her husky voice carrying all the hurt.

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.

FKJ

Lying Together

The neo-house track that introduced FKJ: chopped vocals, warm filtered chords and an elastic bassline wrapped into four and a half minutes of slow-burning, sunlit intimacy.
