To celebrate their return to Australia, London genre-benders Crystal Fighters have made us an eclectic summery mixtape, featuring some of the acts theyve just toured with for Southbound/Falls. The band are bringing their party jams to Melbournes Corner Hotel tonight and Sydneys The Hi-Fi this Thursday. Their latest release, Cave Rave, features the singles You And I, Wave and LA Calling.

The opening track off their divisive second album Congratulations, that for me is a stunning and bold piece of work that I respect them wholeheartedly for. Its Working is a psychedelic roller coaster full of deep truths about biology, ecstasy and love.

VW are a band who have gone from strength to strength across their albums and having seen them in Portugal when they played just before us at Alive festival I can confirm they are a very fine live act to boot. We picked this older song of theirs because I think it captures some of the energy you will get when you see them live, and sums up the good time Upper West Side Soweto vibe they have had in the bag from the very beginning.

This track is ridiculously loveable. Somehow old and new sounding at the same time, and so rowdy about fellatio! This guy really wants that Becky! A great song for your slightly shy friend Becky to bless the dance floor to.

If you dont mind your music videos raunchy and a little disturbing, then check out the one for Papi Pacify. A brilliant modern track with an Espanglish title to die for, and beats by the incredible Arca we are in awe and appreciation of Twigs.

Surely a massive Ibiza anthem, this 11-minute latin-techno gem from 2013 really lights up the mood, certainly in every room I have tried it in. Peacetime could be achieved with more records like this. Turn it up!
