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.

Bobby Nourmand
Smokin' Joe
A laid-back, smoky slice of deep house where a rolling bassline meets a bluesy vocal: the Los Angeles producer's mystery track from The Magician's Magic Tapes, released on Potion in 2016.
Lucky Luke
Cooler Than Me
The Lithuanian producer Lucky Luke's 2019 electro-house reworking of Mike Posner's 2010 debut hit, released on Columbia/B1: a song about feeling snubbed, turned into a laid-back club anthem that became a radio hit in France a year later.
Eurythmics
Sweet Dreams (Ibiza Deep Summer Remix 2015)
An uncredited 2015 deep-house rework of Eurythmics' 1983 synth-pop classic: Annie Lennox's cool, haunting vocal set on a laid-back summer house beat, a lesson in how a famous bassline survives any remix.
Nouvelle Vague
Too Drunk to Fuck
Nouvelle Vague turn the Dead Kennedys' punk satire into a hushed bossa nova sung by Camille, a 2004 cover whose softness makes the lyric more absurd and more unsettling than the original's noise.
