49 tracks.
Codec & Flexor
Erfurt's Northern Lite rework Codec & Flexor's electroclash-era club hit for the 2004 remix EP: a six-minute version that keeps the song's cool, detached refrain and gives it the band's own blend of electro and pop.
Electric Guest
A piano-driven, falsetto-led romp produced by Danger Mouse, 'This Head I Hold' was Electric Guest's 2012 debut single: retro soul-pop swagger wrapped around a reminder that you don't have to follow the steps society lays out.
C2C, Pigeon John
'Because of You' by C2C featuring Pigeon John is a bright collision of hip-hop, electronics and soul from four French world-champion turntablists, with the Los Angeles rapper's warm voice riding a beat built by hand on record decks.
Bakermat
'The River' is a short, warm house track from Bakermat's second album The Spirit (2021), a record the Dutch producer built from gospel, soul and folk material: a two-and-a-half-minute sketch of uplift rather than a club epic.
Kazy Lambist
The title track of Kazy Lambist's 2015 debut EP: a smooth, sunlit electronic pop song by the Montpellier producer Arthur Dubreucq, laid-back beats and a playful melody built for summer.
Bonaparte, Acid Pauli
Berlin's dance-punk ringmaster Bonaparte and the electronic producer Acid Pauli, once of The Notwist, trade a sly, defiant refrain in a 2020 single that sings from the point of view of something humanity has wronged and now asks for rescue.
Aloe Blacc
A hard-times plea set to a Brooklyn retro-soul jam: Aloe Blacc's 2010 hit, the theme of HBO's How to Make It in America, heard here live in Berlin in 2011, where a chorus about a job lost and a dollar borrowed is made for a room to sing.
JPattersson
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.
Ultraísta
'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.
Eurythmics
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.
Groove Armada
Groove Armada's 2001 single fuses house with dancehall, reggae and dub over a speed-garage bassline, with MC M.A.D. on vocals and a live horn section; a UK number 12 and a 2003 Grammy nominee.
Fatboy Slim
'Sunset (Bird of Prey)' is Fatboy Slim's 2000 single built around Jim Morrison's voice, sampled from the Doors' 'Bird of Prey': a slow-rising, sun-bleached dance track whose video sends a 1960s fighter pilot on a hallucination.
Kutiman
'Inner Galactic Lovers' is Kutiman's 2015 song assembled from parts recorded by 24 freelance musicians in a dozen countries: an ethereal, funky collage in which every player was hired online and never met the others.
K.Flay
K.Flay's breakthrough answers a decade of songs about getting high with a question, what if I'm already high enough: breezy rhythm, bubbly guitar lines and a sing-song flow produced by Mike Elizondo.
Gregory Porter
Gregory Porter's up-tempo lead single from Take Me to the Alley: a warm, gospel-rooted jazz-soul song of encouragement, carried by his rich baritone and a small acoustic band.
Ryan Blyth
'Once Twice' is a short, uplifting house track by Ryan Blyth with the Swansea singer and producer Rachel K Collier on vocals, premiered in 2016 on the Love & Other channel: bright beats, a sung topline and a hook built for the dance floor.
Pilocka Krach
A track from Pilocka Krach's 2017 double album Sugar Cane & The Lost Amigos, a tour diary pinned between Mexico, Detroit and Berlin: raw sampled cuts and growling synths in the Bar25 veteran's electro post-rave style.
Kollektiv Turmstrasse
Hamburg duo Kollektiv Turmstrasse's 2009 'Let Freedom' remix of Federleicht's On the Streets: melancholic, melodic house of deep beats and slowly unfolding synths, from the label that later released their album.
Jorge Ben Jor
Jorge Ben's 'Take It Easy My Brother Charles' is a two-and-a-half-minute samba-soul classic from his 1969 album: a swinging guitar, Trio Mocotó's percussion and a warm word of caution to a 'brother of color', half in Portuguese, half in English.
Marcu Rares
An eighteen-minute minimal track by the Romanian producer Marcu Rareș, the title piece of his 2018 EP for the Romanian minimal techno label Welter Records.
Ladytron
Ladytron's 2002 single: whirring synthesizers, two cool, interlocking voices and a minimal lyric that takes a swipe at an industry obsessed with youth, shiny and throwaway on the surface and dark underneath.
