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.

Lamomali

L'Âme Au Mali

The song that names Matthieu Chedid's Franco-Malian collective: Toumani Diabaté's cascading kora, the voices of Amadou & Mariam and Jain, and a pun on 'the soul in Mali', from the 2017 album Lamomali.

Labyrinth Ear

Navy Light

A three-minute haze of blurred synths, soft beats and a distant, weightless voice, Navy Light feels like city lights seen through rain on a night bus window.

Kygo, Maty Noyes

Stay

Soft-focus tropical house from Kygo, with plucked melodies and a warm, pleading vocal from Maty Noyes asking someone not to leave just yet.

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.

Kölsch

Bloodline (feat. Tomas Høffding)

Kölsch's melodic techno meets the warm, weathered voice of WhoMadeWho's Tomas Høffding in Bloodline, a slow-burning track from 1983, an album about childhood road trips across Europe, that swells like a sunrise over the booth.

Klyne

Waiting

A slow, stripped-down slice of dark electronic R&B from the Eindhoven duo Klyne, where Nick Klein's soft, close-miked voice drifts over sparse beats and muted synths; the new song on their 2015 Closer EP.

Klyne

Paralyzed

A hushed, slow-burning slice of electronic soul from the Dutch duo Klyne, where a fragile falsetto floats over muted beats and a heart too stunned to move.

Klyne

Entropy

A hushed, late-summer slow jam from the Dutch duo Klyne, where a feather-light falsetto floats over soft keys, tropical-leaning drums and pulsing synths.

Klangkuenstler, Alice Phoebe Lou

Man On the Moon

KlangKuenstler wraps Alice Phoebe Lou's soft, folk-tinged voice in a warm, unhurried deep house shuffle that feels like a slow drive home under a full moon.

Kele

First Impressions

Kele Okereke opens his after-hours record Trick in a whisper: a cool, late-night house groove about the electricity of meeting someone new, sung with Yasmin.

Kav Verhouzer, BullySongs

Get What You Came For

Sunny deep-house chords and a warm, raspy BullySongs vocal: Get What You Came For is an easygoing dancefloor invitation that never pushes, only pulls you in.

KANT

Close to the Wire (Club Remix)

The Copenhagen production team KANT stretch Leo Stannard's aching vocal across a seven-minute club arrangement on Black Butter Records, melancholy piano chords and a steady deep house pulse turning heartbreak into something you can dance through.

Joss Stone

Less Is More

A teenage Joss Stone leans into a lilting, reggae-kissed soul groove and sings about wanting less with the husky authority of a singer twice her age.

Jan Blomqvist

Big Jet Plane

Jan Blomqvist slows Angus & Julia Stone's folk lullaby into a long, glowing melodic-house drift, his weary vocal hovering over the pulse like a plane above night clouds.

Jan Blomqvist

Big Jet Plane (Animal Trainer Remix)

The Zürich duo Animal Trainer fold Jan Blomqvist's hushed 2011 cover of Big Jet Plane into a rolling, late-night deep house remix, released on the Berlin label Dantze, where a longing vocal drifts above a patient, pulsing groove.

James Newton Howard, Jennifer Lawrence

The Hanging Tree

Jennifer Lawrence's bare, unpolished voice sings an eerie murder ballad from Suzanne Collins' Mockingjay, set to a melody by the Lumineers, that swells into a rebel anthem as James Newton Howard's orchestra gathers behind her.

James Newton Howard, Jennifer Lawrence

The Hanging Tree (Rebel Remix)

Jennifer Lawrence's eerie Mockingjay folk song recast as an uptempo, drum-heavy rebel anthem, the unaccompanied verse growing into a pounding march with strings and a dance pulse.

Jain

So Peaceful

Zanaka's gentle closer, a reggae-tinged sway where Jain lets the album's travels settle into calm, sunlit contentment.

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.
