Camel Power Club
Ourson
Soft beats, sunny loops and a sampled Son House blues voice: Ourson is a short, cuddly piece of French chillout, first a 2015 single and later part of Sputnik II, that feels like a teddy bear rendered in warm sound.

42 tracks.
Bodyrockers
I Like The Way (Radio Edit)
A crunching dance-rock riff, a strutting beat and a hook about the way you move: Bodyrockers' 2005 floor-filler is pure, unashamed swagger.
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.
Arctic Monkeys
Snap Out Of It
Alex Turner pleads with a lover to wake up from someone else's spell over a swaggering, hand-clapped shuffle and a chorus hook that sticks for days: the sixth single from AM.
Chicks On Speed
Euro Trash Girl
Munich art collective Chicks On Speed turn Cracker's 1990s alt-rock road song into a deadpan electronic cover: an early electroclash single, first pressed on their own Go Records in 1998.
Brazilian Girls
Karaköy
A walking-pace daydream named after an old Istanbul harbour district: Sabina Sciubba's supple voice and soft trumpets carry a song of wandering and missing someone, from Brazilian Girls' 2018 comeback album Let's Make Love.
Eli
Faster You Fall
Eli Meltzer, better known as the Bay Area rapper and producer Smoov-E, borrows the swagger of early rock and roll for a short, cocky chase song built on one taunting refrain.
Ultraísta
Smalltalk
'Smalltalk' is the 2012 lead single of Ultraísta, the trio of Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich, drummer Joey Waronker and singer Laura Bettinson: layered synthesizers and afrobeat-minded drums under a plea to stop the small talk, heard here in Four Tet's garage-shuffle remix.
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.
Portugal. The Man
Feel It Still
Portugal. The Man's Grammy-winning sleeper hit: a quick, swinging slice of psychedelic funk-pop that borrows its melody from Motown's Please Mr. Postman and rides one of the decade's most recognisable basslines.
Pomplamoose
Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger
Pomplamoose's 2019 cover of Daft Punk's 'Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger': a robot anthem built from a sample and a vocoder, replayed by a live band with real keys, bass, drums and human voices, and filmed so that everything you hear, you see.
Caravan Palace
Lone Digger
Caravan Palace's 2015 single fuses 1930s-style swing with club beats and Zoé Colotis's voice, and its animated video of a brawl in a bar full of animals made it one of the most-watched electro-swing tracks ever.
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.
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.
The Chemical Brothers
The Salmon Dance
The Chemical Brothers hand the microphone to Fatlip of The Pharcyde for a deadpan rap about a fish-inspired dance: a bubbling, funky detour on their Grammy-winning 2007 album We Are the Night.
Björk
Kata rokkar
Before her solo career, Björk sang Icelandic popular songs and jazz standards with a veteran piano trio: Kata rokkar, from the 1990 album Gling-Gló, is a short, playful glimpse of that side of her voice.
Miss Kittin
Frank Sinatra
'Frank Sinatra' is one of the founding anthems of electroclash: Miss Kittin's deadpan spoken vocal over The Hacker's raw electro, a cool, satirical portrait of fame and excess that still fills dancefloors.
Lipka
No More Beer
A Geneva duo stops the party to break the worst possible news: a wry, shout-along electro-indie track in which the DJ is told to cut the music because the beer is running out.
