it's not Summer without your Jams - 2015

The original was posted in the cuttin shapes thread last year

I'll always be referring to the Norman Blake from Teenage Fanclub unless I'm talking to my bluegrass loving sister.

Carly Rae Jepsen x Breakbot - Call Me Baby, I'm Yours

kind of a slow season huh?
is it gonna be trap queen?

It's been and gone in Australia (not summer here anyway) and I think the UK too, but "Cheerleader" looks like it has a shot at being the next US #1

it's gonna be "cheerleader"

lol how is this possible

sometimes people have jobs and lives and other interests

lol says the guy meticulously curating a dozen ilx spotify playlists

That would be one of my other interests

Besides which, it's more like two dozen. Speaking of which: I just went through and pruned this thread's playlist and added a few tracks (missed Omi the first time around... it's pretty bland to my ears? ) but it's up-to-date with everything listed on here that's available on Spotify. 60 tracks, 3+ hours.

ILX's Summer Jams 2015 Spotify Playlist

is there a place where you can browse the ILX playlists?

Ekkah - Last Chance to Dance
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gvM1a72Dcqw
Released in October, but I missed it til recently, and it got a laidback poolside vibe.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKGgyhmg-uo

digging that ekkah song, poolside vibe for sure

Three more:

Julio Bashmore + Bixby - KONG
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=si3YMVIrWFg

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z3LOhiCpkKA

Little Boots - Better in the morning
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ryPPOQHES8

Actually! Scratch that Little Boots songs off the playlist. I'd rather have this - a better summer vibe:

Rationale - Fast Lane:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gkGHEbW1OMw

There's a GAGA sample in there btw.

Also this is on Spotify now and it's a summer jam too:

Bicep - Celeste:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kg1ZW5J7SVM

lol came here to post this, same ep

bicep - just

https://youtu.be/oq2Oq1J6t70

oh wow this bicep ep is awesome

It's like they're going for some kind of nu breaks vibe, reminds me of Layo & Bushwacka! or PMT's 'Gyromancer'.

SummerTime Consensus 2015 Spotify Playlist
But I will argue Silento deserves direct addition:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uBWrpVrazzA
what else on that list is ILX approved?

continuing lack of consensus

Not really tho right? It's the Furious 7 ballad pretty much.

not really a "jam" though is it

Silento record is kinda wack

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vUdl96yqioc

This was on a June CMJ sampler, and I'm totally digging its languid, LDR vibe.
Also, Ian Cohen hated their record, which is a good contrarian signal.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=stSsejGXkMg

DON'T TELL YOUR MOTHER
KISS ONE ANOTHER
DIE FOR EACH OTHER
WE'RE COOL FOR THE SUMMER

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=il9nqWw9W3Y

demi lovato - cool for the summer

official lex 2k15 summer jam

Hot Chip - Need You Know
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfH5LmhvQQk

Sort of melancholic but love the disco diva sample.

Swedish artist HNNY makes some simple, sample based sunny music too:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6MX3ut1nrw

I've been listening and adding tracks to this playlist all summer:

https://open.spotify.com/user/moteldemoka/playlist/7mxHhrMyUGjK55aKZemx76

Most of them coincide with the ones in here but there's some songs from past years as well.

Sad songs can be summer jams too:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SYbh6ob_R9M

Rae Sremmurd, "This Could Be Us"

Good For You selena

also sad

Lil' Kleine & Ronnie Flex "Zeg Dat Niet"

Anthem-to-be, from Ghana:

Bra Qwequ ft. Ball J & Gigg "Fraud Money", produced by Ball J, the man behind Guru's "Pooley" that placed in the 2014 EOY Poll.
