The warmest of the temperate season, marked by it’s meteorological affect to make ya feel all happy & sun-kissed. Complete with those long days of daylight, heat waves that may or may not make you want to shave your head, teenagers all over the place with nothing to do. Let’s be honest, it’s super-difficult to concentrate on anything other than trekking to a body of water and rocking some jams with your besties. So in honor of the seasonal debauchery and possible hooky-playing from our weekday doldrums, we have complied some sweet tunage for you to blast pool-side, car-ride, or worldwide in celebration for this joyous time called “Summer”,
First off is the Converse-sponsored track featuring Kid Cudi, Best Coast, and Rostam of Vampire Weekend. Indie-gods aligned for this collab and the result is a cotton-candy-sweet & ice-water-soaked track. You can download it for yourself and bump it in yo Chucks… all summer.

O, Sweden. You have all the good-looking people, rad train stations, and Robyn! The epitome of pop superstar, this chick has got it down and knows how to work a dance floor – even when she’s just ‘on her own’.
Next is this infectious song by Everything, Everything has got everything we like: fast lyrics, whistle drop-beat, and some fierce kick-drum. Perfect for sidewalk stalking on a sunny day.

With the temperature in triple digits melting our Eastern brethren, we extend our pity and post this track by UK group Standard Fare. For you, Philly. And New York, DC, VA, MA, etc. Try not to wilt.

Big Boi has done it again. This time, with one of the best album names we’ve heard in a looooong time: “Sir Luscious Left Foot… The Son of Chico Dusty”. With a name like that, you better bet it’s stocked with some seriously poppin tracks. If anyone can bring back the shutterbug, you know it’s him – with the help from Cutty & Scott Storch!

And that concludes our brief Summer Playlist. There are many many more songs that are equally perfect for some summertime lovin’, but these ones are worth a listen. While we sit cooped-up in the HQ, smushing bugs and coding like there’s no tomorrow, have a lemonade on us and blast these tunes as loud as you can.
