Adele—Rolling in the Deep (Jamie XX Shuffle) - Single"Rolling in the Deep (Jamie XX Shuffle)" [MP3]
Adele reimagined as a warped gospel songstress in a Jamaican dancehall. Soulful and dancefloor-approved.

Peter Bjorn and John—Gimme Some"Second Chance" [MP3]
After the fanfare over "Young Folks," very little has been written about PB&J's subsequent records. This is our favorite track from their latest.

Katy B—We Love Dub"Katy on a Mission" [MP3]
This Katy B banger is an excellent pop take on the dubstep that dominates British dance music right now. We'd love to see her make it big Stateside.

XXXY—You Always Start It/Ordinary Things - Single"You Always Start It" [MP3]
Speaking of dubstep, XXXY is one of our favorite producers to emerge recently. It definitely fills a gap left when James Blake went singer-songwriter on us (not that we're complaining).

Radiohead—The King of Limbs"Bloom" [MP3]
Radiohead wasn't the first rock band to include dance music in their repertoire, but they're still the best at fully integrating it into their own sound. This standout from "King of Limbs" is a great example.

"Battery Kinzie" [MP3]
This reminds us of one of those upbeat Simon & Garfunkel jams we grew up listening to and loving. Simply radiant vocal harmonies.

The Antlers—Burst Apart (Deluxe Version)"I Don't Want to Love" [MP3]
From the loping drumbeat to the shimmering guitars to Peter Silberman's lovely falsetto, we love everything about this track.

SALEMPost-breakdown, Britney has been the source of some truly warped and underrated pop gems. SALEM takes this trend three steps further.
Gold Panda—Lucky Shiner"You" [MP3]
If we're a bit Brit-heavy on this mix, you can't really blame us. There's basically a new single from that tiny island that changes our life weekly.

The Weeknd—House of Balloons"The Morning" [MP3]
We can't lie—this is pretty much late-night bedroom R&B heard through a drug haze. We're hooked.

"MindKilla" [MP3]
This is pretty much one of our favorite bands, and all of their strengths are on display hear—huge synths, stuttering drums, and left turns galore.

Rick Ross—Teflon Don"Aston Martin Music (featuring Drake and Chrisette Michele)" [MP3]
This is all over the radio, and for good reason. I mean, who doesn't want to drive around Miami in a convertible listening to this? Drake steals the show, of course.

Cults—Cults"Abducted" [MP3]
A sweet, soaring indie rock song about abduction. How could this not be on our recent playlist?

The Dream—Love King"Veteran" [MP3]
How many straight playlists have featured The-Dream? What can we say? We love R&B, and The-Dream is pretty much a summer anthem.
