Solomun
Friends
Nine minutes of Solomun's signature deep house, released on his experimental label 2DIY4: Friends rides a supple, swinging groove and moody chords that keep rising just enough to keep a dancefloor leaning in.
Feeling
euphoric
20 tracks.
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, 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.
Mando Diao
Dance With Somebody (Radio Version)
Mando Diao trade garage-rock grit for a disco-rock floor-filler, a pulsing four-on-the-floor beat and a shout-along chorus about needing someone to dance with.
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.
John Newman, Kove
Love Me Again (Kove Remix)
Kove drives John Newman's northern-soul plea for a second chance into rolling drum and bass, the raw voice riding fast breaks and big, bright chords.
Infinity Ink
Infinity
Infinity Ink's Infinity is a bassline-led deep house anthem whose endlessly looped, half-whispered hook made it a platinum hit in Belgium and a club staple since 2012.
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.
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.
Daft Punk
Give Life Back to Music
The curtain-raiser of Random Access Memories: live drums, Nile Rodgers' guitar and a vocoder mission statement announcing that Daft Punk came back to make music breathe again.
Daft Punk
Giorgio by Moroder
Giorgio Moroder tells his own origin story over a click track, then Daft Punk unfold nine minutes of arpeggiated disco, live drums and strings into a time-travelling tribute to the sound he invented.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Tubbe
In Berlin
The queer electropunk duo Tubbe, who moved from Munich to Berlin in 2013, set the small-town dream of the big city against its confetti, noise and 1-euro-shop reality, a 2015 synth-pop single from their Audiolith album Keine Arbeit lieber Tanzen.
Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs
Garden
Orlando Higginbottom's breakthrough as Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs: lush synths, a dance-floor pulse and Luisa Gerstein's voice, first on a 2010 Greco-Roman EP and then a 2011 Polydor single that soundtracked Nokia's Lumia adverts.
Klangkarussell
Moments
A warm deep house song from Klangkarussell's 2014 debut album Netzwerk, sung by Will Heard, the English voice of the Austrian duo's UK hit Sonnentanz (Sun Don't Shine).
