1. “Lola’s Theme” (Prydz, Westar, and Calderone Mixes) — Shapeshifters
I’ve mentioned this European smash before, but these latest mixes are stellar.
2. “Flawless” (Shapeshifters Mix and Sharp Boys Mix) — George Michael
The bathroom bad boy’s best dancefloor material in years.
3. “Real Good Looking Boy” — The Who
Meaty new material from their recent hits album Then and Now.
4. “The Art Teacher” — Rufus Wainwright
Wainwright waxes hot for teacher in this melancholy ode from his new EP.
5. “Chocolate” — (Tom Middleton Mix) Kylie Minogue
Mysterious anthem wrapped in a robe of luscious, galactic beats.
6. “How Did You Know” (Extended Mix) — Mynt feat. Kim Sozzi
This has been on repeat for a month now. Warm, satisfying hook.
7. “This Is the World We Live In” (Almighty Mix) — Alcazar
Bubble gum cheese with a Diana Ross sample based on the Genesis classic.
8. “Pride” — Syntax
Off the blissful Nip/Tuck soundtrack; shades of Nick Drake, Dave Gahan.
9. “Laura” (Paper Faces Mix) — Scissor Sisters
The latest from the Sisters gets a hazy, euphoric mix-up.
10. “Sex & Sun” (Eric Prydz Remix) — Aloud
Some mixes make an original unrecognizable, to great effect. Prydz is hot.
