This week we’ve been discussing what our summer sounds are and have brought you our essential mix. It wasn’t that difficult to narrow down our choices we basically put the criteria down to ‘love at first listen.’In no particular order..press play…

Get Lucky – Daft Punk ft Pharrell
You may think how predictable, I’ve heard this too many times or nothing new there. Well yes this one is here to stay. The track that made Spotify download history. We really are up all night to this song.
Soon Come – Shy FX ft Liam Bailey
We’ve got that reggae feeling from this collab. Shy FX are back and have chosen the raspy Liam Bailey to soundtrack your summer.
Blurred Lines – Robin Thicke Ft Pharrell and T.I
The video caused a stir in the music industry and perhaps got the majority of it’s views from 14 year old boys. The semi naked models managed to enhance the catchy tune and get it to number one in 40 countries. We can’t even name 40
countries!! Pharrell is now been at number one twice in the last month is that even legal ?!
Global Concepts – Robert De Long
This American electronic musician started off as a drummer for rock bands and gradually realised his talents belonged to more genres. His vocals provide you with an indie feel that soon breaks into a heavy electronic masterpiece.
Sex – The 1975
A song that we thought should have been bigger than their ‘Chocolate’ track. We’re waiting for the hype to drop over this one. Lyrically cheeky, this song takes you back to the rebellious school encounters.
Zimmer Frame – Show N Prove
An absolute floorfiller that will be blasting out every single speaker on your holiday this summer. We first heard it on Radio One Extra and it never fails to psychs us up for a good dance before a night out.
New Day – Alicia Keys
This girl really is on fire, another powerful beat with optimistic lyrics. It’s a grower for sure, if you need a song to get you out of bed in the morning then this is your jam !
Free – Emeli Sande ft Rudimental
A chilled track to wind down after a crazy day a festival. The new acoustic replacement from Rudimental that picks up ever so slighty after the middle eight. Great choice of female artist too.
Can’t Hold Us – Macklemore ft Ryan Lewis
Yes it has been getting tons of radio play but it never gets old……
You and Me – Eliza Doolittle ft Disclosure
They got to number one this week with their debut alubm, ‘Settle.’ Anything they touch turns to gold, this is our favourite track off the album.
Oh go on then just one more for the musically hungry ……..
Jive Babe – Mikhael Paskalev
Awesome track this guy is going to be huge. Love the video from Jack Whitely too !
P.P.S We have found one more and promise this is the last, we will leave your ears alone now. Uhoh we have definitely given you a top 12 ! You love it really. So Jai Paul’s new demo track has leaked online. We had lost all hope of a Channel Orange replacement summer album. However Jai Paul’s new song ‘Jasmine’ is 100% worth sharing. Jai Paul has brought sexy summer tracks back!
