Gorillaz, Neneh Cherry
Kids with Guns
A cold, clanking Gorillaz track from Demon Days where Damon Albarn's weary vocal and Neneh Cherry's spectral backing turn a nursery-rhyme melody into a quiet alarm about children and violence.

Gorgon City, Katy Menditta, WEISS
Imagination (Weiss Remix)
WEISS stretches Gorgon City's Imagination into a six-minute, groove-led house workout for the 2015 remix EP, leaving Katy Menditta's voice to flicker in and out over the bass.
Gorgon City, Katy Menditta
Imagination
A sleek, sunlit house cut where Katy Menditta's soulful vocal floats over a rubbery bassline and crisp garage-tinged drums, built for the moment a club exhales.
Future Forward Society, Mount Sims
The Creep (HV Thrillseeker Mix)
The HV Thrillseeker Mix stretches The Creep into a longer, harder club tool, with the menace of the original pushed through a relentless, driving groove.
Future Forward Society, Mount Sims
The Creep (Capri Mix)
A long, prowling electro mix that keeps its shadows close: The Creep in its Capri Mix stretches Mount Sims' sly menace over six and a half minutes of pulsing synths.
Format:B
Chunky (Radio Edit)
A rubbery, swaggering tech-house stomper from Berlin's Format:B, built on a fat bassline and chopped vocals from Shorty Long's 1966 Motown single Function at the Junction, cut down to a radio-sized strut.
Flume
Holdin On
A chopped-up soul vocal, wobbling synth chords and a swinging, head-nodding beat: Flume's breakout cut is two and a half minutes of pure, woozy elation.
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.
Faul & Wad, PNAU
Changes
Faul & Wad Ad build a sax-lit, bittersweet house groove around the children's-choir refrain of Pnau's Baby, a song about growing up that became a European number one.
DJ S.K.T
Must Be A Reason (Radio Edit)
DJ S.K.T rebuilds the vocal hook of Wamdue Project's 1999 number one King of My Castle into a tight, sunny 2017 house edit for DFX, using a replayed sample rather than the original master.
DJ Patife
Sambassim (DJ Patife Remix)
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.
Daft Punk
Around the World
One phrase, one bassline and seven minutes of repetition: Around the World is Daft Punk proving that a loop can be a whole world on its own, and Michel Gondry's video turned its arrangement into choreography.
Codec & Flexor
Time Has Changed (Original)
Cold, pulsing analogue-style synths and a detached vocal make Codec & Flexor's electroclash-era club hit sound like a rave remembered through frosted glass.
Clea Vincent
All that she wants
Cléa Vincent turns Ace of Base's 1992 hit into breezy, homespun French synth-pop, trading its reggae-pop strut for a dreamy, lo-fi groove closer to hip-hop and R&B.
Broken Back
Happiest Man on Earth (Radio Edit)
Bright acoustic strumming over a gentle electronic beat, Broken Back's first single sounds like optimism earned the hard way.
Axwell, Max C
I Found U (Radio Edit)
Axwell's piano-lit house anthem distilled to under three minutes: a rolling bassline, a gospel-tinged vocal from Max'C and a chorus built for arms in the air.
Anna Lunoe
Radioactive
Anna Lunoe's Radioactive, her 2016 debut on OWSLA, is a strobe-lit 'hyperhouse' banger sung in her own voice, all clipped vocal hooks, rave stabs and a low end built to rattle a festival tent.
Alle Farben, Graham Candy
Sometimes
Alle Farben's sun-warmed deep house meets Graham Candy's quivering, unmistakable high voice in a wistful Berlin summer song about the days that do not go to plan.
Louisahhh
Love Is a Punk (Vitalic Remix)
Vitalic reworks the opening track of Louisahhh's techno-punk debut The Practice of Freedom into a five-and-a-half-minute industrial club track, released on the album's 2021 deluxe edition by HE.SHE.THEY.
Chicks On Speed
Euro Trash Girl
Munich art collective Chicks On Speed turn Cracker's 1990s alt-rock road song into a deadpan electronic cover: an early electroclash single, first pressed on their own Go Records in 1998.
Louisahhh
Like A Vice
A dark and pulsating techno track that closes Louisahhh's intentionally brutal 2017 EP A Trap I've Built, delving into desire, control and liberation.
Kazy Lambist
Doing Yoga
The title track of Kazy Lambist's 2015 debut EP: a smooth, sunlit electronic pop song by the Montpellier producer Arthur Dubreucq, laid-back beats and a playful melody built for summer.
