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.
Feeling
groovy
37 tracks.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
JPattersson
Elevator
A laid-back fusion of dub, reggae and deep electronic beats from East Germany: JPattersson's 2016 Elevator, the title track of an EP that also carries its own dub version and two remixes.
Gorgon City
Hard On Me
Gorgon City's sleek, late-night deep house meets Maverick Sabre's raw, soulful voice on Hard On Me, the closing track of their 2014 debut album Sirens: a plea for gentleness carried by a steady, rolling groove.
Funky Fat & Digitaria
You Bring Me Down
Two Brazilian acts, the Belo Horizonte trio Funky Fat and the duo Digitaria, meet on Jamie Jones and Lee Foss's label Hot Creations in 2012: a slower, electro-slanted house track of soaring synths, grumbling stabs and breathy vocals.
Deluxe
Tum Rakak
'Tum Rakak' is a song by Deluxe, the moustachioed band from Aix-en-Provence: a funky live-band groove in B-flat minor with Liliboy singing a gleefully absurd lyric about curiosity, party crumbs and a truck that reeks in the heat.
Mirwais
Naïve Song
Mirwais, the former Taxi Girl guitarist who would soon produce Madonna's Music, sets a vocoded voice against stop-start acoustic guitar and retro synths: a 2000 French electro single that reached number two on the US club chart.
