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

Three more:

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

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

Nigerian summer jams, part 2:

Tekno "Duro"

Skuki ft. Olamide "Over The Mountain".

https://soundcloud.com/fola-flo-1/over-the-mountain-ft-olamide

More summer sadness, this time Dutch:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-PWpkKfpKg

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.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vy76DygGT_s
