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.
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.
Depeche Mode
Wrong (Live in Barcelona)
Depeche Mode's jagged litany of mistakes, hammered out live in Barcelona with snarling synths, live drums and Dave Gahan relishing every bad decision.
David Lynch, Karen O
Pinky's Dream (Trentemøller Remix Instrumental)
Trentemøller strips Karen O away and leaves only the nightmare: a throbbing, sinister synth drive that sounds like a car speeding down a Lynchian highway at night.
Daft Punk
Get Lucky (Radio Edit)
Nile Rodgers' chicken-scratch guitar, Pharrell's easy vocal and Daft Punk's robot choir turn a four-chord loop into the most irresistible disco revival of the 2010s: the lead single of Random Access Memories, in its radio edit.
Daft Punk
Face to Face / Short Circuit
Recorded live at Bercy, Daft Punk fold the sunny house bounce of Face to Face into the jittery robot funk of Short Circuit, and the pyramid crowd goes up with it.
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.
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.
Blankets
The Hanging Tree
Blankets carries the Mockingjay murder ballad out of the woods and onto the dancefloor: a 2015 French electronic cover that keeps the song's hummable, unsettling melody and sets it to a pulsing beat.
Ben Khan
Savage
Two and a half minutes of warped, woozy funk: Ben Khan's cool falsetto slides over wobbling synths, guitar stabs and brass that sounds trapped inside a bubble.
Basement Jaxx
Galactical
Bright, bouncing and slightly unhinged, Galactical sends Basement Jaxx and singer Vula off into space on a house groove built for dancing in zero gravity.
ayokay, Quinn XCII
Kings of Summer
Bright synths and Quinn XCII's easy vocal paint a memory of summers when you and your friends felt untouchable: the 2016 breakthrough of two school friends from Michigan.
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.
Axwell
Feel The Vibe
Axwell's 2004 club record in its original long form: a pumping, filtered house groove that keeps building until the whole floor is lifted with it.
AWOLNATION
Sail
A slow, menacing electro-rock crawl that erupts into a howled confession, AWOLNATION's Sail is equal parts dread and release.
Avicii
Feeling Good
Avicii wraps the standard Nina Simone made famous in soft, swelling synths and lets Audra Mae's smoky, soaring voice carry a song about new dawns, recorded for a 2015 film about his own recovery from years of touring.
