1. Ezra Collective – "Shaking Body". Once again drawing from jazz, samba and highlife, Ezra Collective whip up a funky celebration of global dance music. #music

2. Kerchak x LeoStayTrill – "Jimi Hendrix". Grimy drill track featuring French rapper Kerchak and Zimbabwe-born, London-based rapper LeoStayTrill. A fast-paced thrill ride through cross-Channel hip hop. #music

4. Waxahatchee – "Much Ado About Nothing". Another simple yet irresistible indie country-folk song from Katie Crutchfield, but notice the way MJ Lenderman starts doubling some of the vocal notes on the electric guitar. #music

5. Memorials – "Cut It Like A Diamond". Comes on like a '60s British spy movie soundtrack, all slinky bass, groovy organ and fuzzed out guitars. Think of Portishead, but more rock. #music

3. Florist – "This Was a Gift". New York group's indie folk meditation on love and loss is given emotional emphasis by its woozy backing track and weary vocal. #music
