“Cola” by CamelPhat and Elderbrook

CamelPhat and Elderbrook dropped "Cola" on Defected Records in June 2017, a meeting of the British house duo CamelPhat, who recorded and produced it, and singer Alexander "Elderbrook" Kotz, who co-wrote it and sings it. Built at 122 beats per minute on a frame borrowed from Chicago house, it's a sleek, late-night groove with a little story tucked inside: Kotz told the Los Angeles Times he had in mind a woman too drunk to get past the door of a club, and a bouncer who fetches her a Coca-Cola to straighten her out while she believes she's drinking rum and Coke.

It went to number one on Billboard's Dance Club Songs chart in November 2017, the collaboration's first American chart-topper, and earned a Grammy nomination for Best Dance Recording in 2018.
