A regular roundup of five tunes that are getting repeated plays.
1. Holy Ghost! – ‘Do It Again’
I wasn’t convinced by this tune after the first two plays but hearing it next to something similar it really stood out. It’s also as Holy Ghost! have demonstrated in the past, DFA Records disco through and through. Their debut album is out in April.

2. Yelle – ‘Safari Disco Club’
The new single from French singer Yelle is a tropical electro grower.

3. Endgames – ‘Ecstasy (Jam City Refix)’
As heard on Benji B, Jam City take Glasgow’s ’80s funk band EndGame’s slowed-down track and give it some modern urgency and new percussion.
4. ∇nknown ShΔpes – ‘Stars & Stripes’
Recommended by Liam Griffin from State, ∇nknown ShΔpes has a free EP you can pick up from Groovement. I don’t know much about him, but I love this big synth and huge beats tune.

5. Adele – ‘Rolling In The Deep’ (Jamie XX Shuffle feat. Childish Gambino)
Childish Gambino adds a verse to Jamie xx’s masterful Adele shuffle. One of the tunes of the year already established right here.
