Glastonbury 2015 was a triumph.

We were there all weekend long, lapping up the sun, the insanely good music and the buoyant, friendly atmosphere created by 200,000 people letting loose for the best part of a week.

As you know, we went in hard and made sure we got the most out of this year's event, which organiser Michael Eavis reckons was "the best one yet".

Ok, ok, us going on about how epic it was makes us sound like a bunch of wankers, especially to those who couldn't attend. But as ever, we're here to give something back, proving that even as we're going in we're still thinking about you. So here are the tracks that gave us goosebumps at Glasto. They all bang and they're all ammo for the DJs and headphone ravers, harvested straight from Worthy Farm. Enjoy.

Kiwi Dreams 'Y?' (backside dub)

This super funky workout was released in '94 but sounds pretty damn timeless thanks to how rhythmic and downright fun it is.

Honey Dijon dropped it during her set at NYC Downlow, the ridiculously on-point gay club that can be found in the hedonistic Block 9 area. Her set was much like this tune: upbeat and spanky.

Her set was postponed slightly by one of the Downlow's famed cabaret shows and was cut off after an hour or so by a powercut that left the venue in darkness, with the crowd defiantly singing 'I Will Survive' to keep morale on a high. Proper good-times chaos indeed and Honey, who's a resident at Chicago's Smart Bar, killed it.

Phuture 'Your Only Friend'

We watched Honey Dijon in one of the best clubs we've ever been to then headed outside to see Phuture, playing less than 100 metres away, on Genosys, the outdoor stage marked by a massive dystopian building. It was the perfect setting for the acid originators, who tore through a set that dipped and dived in and out of warm, dubby, meditative kicks and all-out squiggle surges. Our night was made when they teased the devilish vocal of 'Your Only Friend', which is a stone-cold Phuture anthem.
