Call Super ‘Mothertime’ (Dekmantel)
Call Super grew up in the golden age of the mix CD and with his new Dekmantel compilation he wants to represent the format in its optimum form. You’ll have to wait until September to hear the full mix, but if this lead track is anything to go by we’re in for a treat. Airy pads, earworm vocal snippets and glitchy textures meld into throbbing bassweight across its five minute run-time. Positioned as the closing cut, it has that perfect blend of transcendence and grounded naughtiness to bring a set to a highly satisfying conclusion.

Yves Tumor & NINA ‘WE DONT COUNT’ (Warp Records)
New Yves Tumor is always a stop-everything-and-listen event, and the Warp signee never disappoints. This latest track sees the enigmatic rocker link up with another star in the wave of making guitar music cool along in Bar Italia’s NINA. They trade aloof vocals to start, with the song bursting to life via irresistible chord progressions and a chorus where their distinctive voices flow between each other in rousing style, with a Yves taking the lead on a scuzzy bridge. Described as “the debut single” from the pair, we can only hope more is on the way.

This Francophone transatlantic collaboration from Montréal’s SIM and Parisian Siu Mata is rabble-rousing dancefloor dynamism.

Pangaea ‘Neuromance’ (Hessle Audio)
Joining the same ranks of “cannot miss” as your best friend’s wedding and Luke Littler squaring up to a treble 20, Pangaea returns with another dancefloor destroyer. While recent releases have flirted at the edges of naughty tech-house territory, new single ‘Neuromance’ cranks up the tempo with a rowdy blend of 16-bit-sanctioned ‘80s synth pop and euphoric, golden era happy hardcore — complete with a pitched up, chipmunk vocal sample bawling above scuttling kicks.

Hodge ‘Tom’s Tweaks’ (Local Action)
One half of his double-single debut on Local Action, Hodge has struck summer soundsystem gold with ‘Tom’s Tweaks’. Plying his signature ricocheting percussion and bottomless bass through a sunshine-tinged UK funky-inspired rhythm, the Bristol-based producer creates a track that is a perfect balance between spine-tingling complexity and high-tempo uproar.

Anetha 'Watch Us Glow' (Mama told ya)
Anetha takes a turn into electro pop with new single ‘Watch Us Glow’m though that isn’t to say there aren’t inflections of slam from the French DJ’s more club-primed output. Pairing an electrifying Bodyrox-esque bassline with a sultry vocal sample, commanding us to “give me more”, the track playfully merges booming kicks and chopped up elements into a chaotic-yet-effortless rhythm. Breakneck, frivolously catchy yet all-the-while irrefutably interesting, it’s the kind of track that you never knew you’d need, and now cannot imagine not existing.

Closet Yi ‘Cloudborne 888’ (Clasico Records)
Seoul’s Closet Yi weaves a tight mesh of winding drum and synthwork on the title-track of her latest EP, ‘Cloudborne 888’. Tinny vocals delay and reverberate across its lengthy seven minute playtime, inspired by a “reflection of movement, both physically and mentally”. A subtle, but eerie clash of sounds.

Daphni ‘Clap Your Hands’ (Jiaolong)
Following hot on the heels of last month’s return to the Daphni alias in ‘Sad Piano House’, Dan Snaith drops another bangers in quick succession. ‘Clap Your Hands’ is a driving house track that is fuelled by an infectious lyrical hook and, as you might expect, a steady beat that you can clap along to. “This is a bit of a vibe shift from the restraint of sad piano house... I made this one for a set at Rainbow Disco Club in Japan and have been playing it everywhere ever since. I've got a whole bunch of unreleased Daphni stuff ready to go, and I'm pretty much letting what fans are asking me about the most decide what comes out next. It feels great to know that there are people who have heard it in my sets who are waiting for it,” explains Snaith.
