Washington, D.C. is currently undergoing one of the hottest weekends in recent memory. Yesterday, as I was driving around, the music, blistering heat, and wind in my hair combined in a manner which led to a state of relaxation I had not felt in a long time. The combination of music and summer is irreplaceable. It doesn't matter whether it's pool side, a live performance, or just chilling in your whip, it just adds a certain ebb and flow to your already sunny day. These are some jams that will hopefully notch a place in your list of favorite summer tunes.
I was a little surprised we had not posted this Calvin Harris hit yet. Very much from the mold of other Calvin Harris tracks, it maintains instrumental roots but yet is very danceable. It has already been remixed several times by big names such as Benny Benassi and Nero but the original remains my favorite.
Here we have another track which has been blowing up the blogosphere. It's slightly different than the tracks we tend to post but it definitely earns its place. Think Passion Pit meets Aeroplane, there's a lot to like here but I'll let you judge it for yourself.
Torro Torro has been making quite a name for themselves this year. Their tracks have been getting plays by countless big names and this remix certainly doesn't disappoint. The group that some are starting to consider the next big name in electronic dance music presents you with this rework of Jeremy Glenn's New Life.
The best way I can describe this next track is 'funky vibes'.
I recently discovered a new Aeroplane remix. It is very much the Vito De Luca brand of music. Relaxing, laid back, disco house to flavor your day. I'm not a big fan of the siren sounds but overall it is ideal summer music.
I'm going to finish off with a track I heard on the Martin Solveig Essential Mix, which I have already given my highest praise. It is much more high energy and obviously belongs on a dance floor ahead of the other tracks I have posted but I also understand that chill 80's influenced grooves can get boring if they're not mixed in with some high powered bombs.
That should be the end of the post but, I'm sorry, I can't help myself. If you could, please Watch the Throne.
