Noir & Haze
Around (Solomun Vox)
Solomun's vocal mix of the Noir & Haze single, Resident Advisor's remix of the year 2011: a rolling, bass-heavy deep house groove under Haze's aching voice, released on Noir Music and later licensed to Defected.
Nils Ohrmann
In Ya Face (Original Mix)
Six and a half minutes of bumping Berlin house from Nils Ohrmann: a cheeky vocal taunt, a springy bassline and a groove that never lets go.
Niklas Ibach
Hungry (Remix)
Niklas Ibach slips Dotan's aching folk-pop plea onto a soft deep-house pulse, keeping the ache while giving it somewhere to move.
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.
Mount Sims
Together Alone
Cold machine rhythm and a detached croon from the American edition of Mount Sims' 2002 debut UltraSex, an electroclash meditation on being close to someone and still completely on your own.
Mount Sims, Toby Dammit
What's the Big Deal
Mount Sims trades the club for a scuffed, shrugging groove, with Toby Dammit of Iggy Pop's and Nick Cave's bands on drums: What's the Big Deal asks its question with a sneer and a beat that will not sit still.
Mount Sims
The Bitten Bite Back
Cold synth stabs and a deadpan, sneering vocal turn revenge into a dancefloor chant: Mount Sims at his most wiry, sleazy and defiant.
Mount Sims
Restless
Seven minutes of slow-burning tension, Restless loops a nervous synth figure and a stalking beat until the repetition itself becomes the thrill.
Mount Sims
No Yellow Lines
A night drive with the headlights off: grinding analogue bass, clipped drum machines and Mount Sims' cool, menacing croon from the darker side of electroclash.
Mount Sims
New Authority Volunteers
Mount Sims trades his electroclash gloss for the guitar-driven shadows of his post-punk turn, a short, tense blast of darkwave unease.
Mount Sims, Jessie Evans
Andy of Jenny
A short, sharp electroclash track from Mount Sims' 2008 album Happily Ever After, with André Lang's live drums under the synths and the underground punk singer Jessie Evans adding saxophone.
Mount Sims
Hellbent
Mount Sims at his most driven: a tight, menacing electro pulse and a vocal set on walking straight into trouble, one of the songs added to Happily Ever After...Again, the 2010 reworking of his darkwave album.
Mount Sims
Grave
A slow, cold-blooded crawl through synths, live drums and a graveside croon: Grave, from the 2008 album Happily Ever After produced by Thomas Stern, turns Mount Sims' taste for horror into five minutes of nocturnal dread.
Mount Sims
Good Service
Deadpan vocals, buzzing analog synths and a drum machine with attitude: Good Service is Mount Sims serving early-2000s electroclash with a sly, suggestive grin.
Mount Sims
Ashes
A smouldering piece of dark synth-pop that opens Mount Sims' 2004 album Wild Light: cold machines and a weary croon circle the remains of something that burned out long ago.
Michelle Gurevich
Lovers Are Strangers
Michelle Gurevich croons a deadpan, candlelit elegy for love gone cold, with lo-fi synths and a slow-dance sway that make heartbreak feel strangely elegant.
Michelle Gurevich
First Six Months of Love
A slow, smoky synth ballad in which Michelle Gurevich's deadpan contralto toasts the giddy first months of a romance while already hearing the ending coming.
Michael Jackson
Billie Jean
One of pop's most recognisable bass lines carries Michael Jackson's paranoid tale of a paternity claim, a tight, shadowy groove that sounds as sharp now as it did on Thriller.
Metronomy
Love Letters (Soulwax Remix)
Soulwax strip Metronomy's sixties-tinged pop down to a gleaming machine groove and rebuild it, six and a half minutes of neon disco-pop driven by the bassline and a slow-burning release.
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.
Marcus Marr, Nick Murphy
Birthday Card
Nearly eight minutes of sleek, disco-tinged house: Marcus Marr's springy production and bright synths carry Nick Murphy's smoky voice towards a long dancefloor release, the opener of their 2015 EP Work.
