idk longneck posted it in the r&b thread last week i think

Deej, check the very first post in the 2016 rolling rnb thread.

From Kenya: Vicmass Luodollar ft. Octopizzo "Bank Otuch (Remix)" (posted by kruezer2 on the Afropop thread):

My not-quite-Summer jam

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9fGoOEGojY0

This might have originally come out last year, but it's new to me and search says it's new to ILM too.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RxdHuysQ6wE

Hypasounds - Sugar Rush

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qNdYm-crp8k

dare you not to dance around your home to this

this is nice, LG. Would fit well on this thread: examples of DISCO-REGGAE

yeah I was thinking that actually. I put it on the Balearic thread as that's the kind of mix I've been hearing it in. I have a few more things for that thread.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Axm3fDy3Agg

dying @ reggae 'let it whip'

i know, it's like it shouldn't be so good and yet it is insanely catchy and funky

chance the rapper "all night (feat. knox fortune)"

Vybz Kartel - One Phone Call is basically a PERFECT summer jam imo, omg:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bYzM-81TEB8

Then follow that with this Chris Martin tune on the same riddim and it's a wrap. Summer is here, ladies and gentlemen.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dShzX5I4JS0

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ecC-HMZPPMs

chance the rapper - all night

simply for the sake of argument it seems like rihanna's work might hang around long enough to be a reasonable contender for song of the summer insofar as it will destroy any party in which it is played in July.

the "trap queen" of 2016 as it were

Throwing this in here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4YQdvRbjkU8

No summer without Timaya;

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PmpvNwUZ0q0

No summer without Ketchup either.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F3sWVJIc7nU

(even if it's technically from summer 2015)

Enjoyed hearing this played out in Tobago over the past couple of weeks: Dexta Daps - Chinese Jordan
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6axXOS78_CI

Current 93 - All the Stars Are Dead Now

Chinese Jordans is wonderful.

Dope Tony Toni Tone flip that will last me at least into july
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6V26Ykyqjsk

also Drake and Khaled's "For Free" is a beautiful slab of Bad Boy-esque summer jam pop that I forgive all the bad Drake things

while it's playing, anyway

This Gregory Porter song evokes Summer Jam to me, for what that is worth!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxlk7h3kGys

really like this

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xLiFx_dW6k
alkaline - one more time

^riddim of the year so far imo. and alkaline has been consistently impressive lately. Did "City" get posted itt?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=139p7gMYef8

For Summer BBQs:

Damien Jurado - Lon Bella
Matt Corby - Sooth Lady Wine

For Warming up to summer nights:

Sofi Tukker - Hey Lion
Temi Dollface - School your name

This one could crossover to the balearic thread, but it's very summer

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NRyhrskJvL0

cleaning up the playlist and would like to call out that Harriott cover of "Let It Whip" once more; what a jam!

I'm willing to fight the people who try to scoff at this wonderful piece of populism.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ktu5j-VVRLM

Tinie Tempah & Wizkid - Mamacita

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rfTKReUMU2g
Disclosure - feel like I do

Chance the Rapper - Smoke Break is pretty much on a loop for me this month.

this is lovely, although maybe my interpretation of summer jam might be suspect.

kverlertak - nattesferd

kverlertak - 1985
https://youtu.be/g36fWfErL9w

floorplan - tell you no lie
https://youtu.be/a_uY1Z1dljU

apologies if i duplicated anything already on here!

That floorplan one is nice, the album is pretty great as well.

dizzee - hype

jacquees x birdman lost at sea whole ep

ok i know ilx was probably over this a while back but i'm still nowhere near over it and think it really works w/ the summer (maybe the trip hop vibe?):

chloe x halle - drop

https://youtu.be/YbRl8BLILmI

o man and thank you for reminding me the new floorplan album is out

Blood Orange - Augustine (Official Video)

https://youtu.be/NXtzcViZPGA

If by "Summer Jams" you mean "This Year's 'Run Away With Me'"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJ4uBdmnKds

The Timberlake was trying so earnestly and aggressively to be the Song of the Summer that it feels almost cruel to not declare it so.

The Timberlake was trying so earnestly cynically and aggressively to be the Song of the Summer that it feels almost cruel arousing to not declare it so.

I also declare 'this girl' the likeliest song of the summer for me or at least the one that I'll remember the most.

One Dance stayed on top of the charts for... how many weeks?

Summer's not over yet!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Tx-HzZnr34
(Timaya - Bang Bang)

In my experience Timberlake has received way bigger crowd pops than Drake.

I love "This Girl" though! Where has it been hiding???

Moka brought it up a month ago!

the kungs track really does make me so happy

it's sort of a throwback to the 2012 glory days of black butter, PMR etc - i mean yes it's more dap-kings than that but the pure stompy ebullience of it

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ue9A7xHuMgU
lil Debbie - Tell me

did anyone ever post

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Y6Nne8RvaA

Kungs - This Girl

"this girl" is v amateurish imo, shoutout local girl kylie auldist for a great vocal but the lil french teen had no idea what to do with her

I like it a lot

yeah that's banging! digging the 90's vibe

I wasn't into the Kungs track at first but it totally grew on me as summer went along.

*sigh* summer is nearly over. hardly noticed it go by. thinking about an Autumn-themed thread though. not sure whether to make it new tracks only or allow older stuff that just sounds nice and leafy

Need a richly imagistic r|t|c post to tell me why Kungs is bad

death, war, famine, pestilence and that time tracer hand posted the words "loosey goosey" to ilm rolling uk dance pop interzone

Lol :)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dPckUfN7l20

tbrr tho i don't actually have a big problem with the tune? i have never rly been particularly fond of twee vintage/modern juxta jobs (DOOP aside of course), something claustrophobic about them, but i think this one just about manages to achieve the mediated, innocuous spontaneity it's going for (which is why "v amateurish imo" is the wild dunce cap observation obv). it's probably a trickier task than it seems, and easily taken for granted

in conclusion: quite acceptable as mayfly fleeting fancy, a bit "yay, cake in the office" to integrate into ur consciousness as a tru totemic summer jam

First time I heard it: Those BA BA BA-BA BA BA stabs are a bit crass."
Fifteenth time I heard it: "Those BA BA BA-BA BA BA stabs are the best bits of the track."

yeah like i mean mild jankiness is its approachable appeal. the frenchman's slight holiday tastelessness, compared to how an englishman might have made it either exclusively cool or seaside cringe, or a dutchman expertly garish, or a scandinavian vaguely racist

a bit "yay, cake in the office" to integrate into ur consciousness as a tru totemic summer jam

not sure if this thread will have quite the same impact as the summer jams threads, but here's an Autumn Preserves thread for those who want to continue into October: Summer is over - Post up your AUTUMN PRESERVES !!!!

Loving the Lil Debbie song flopson posted upthread. Good end of summer vibes.

dumped the ""consensus"" summer singles to the playlist. I need to run through and see what's been added to spotify since the start of the season but is there anything obvious that didn't get noted upthread yet?

somehow i missed this the first time around!!
