i'm fairly happy with my creative nerd scum interpretation than the wandering genial serendipity of its success is its own qualification as summerjam totem more than particularly much about the tune itself

thant

crooning "body nuuuumb full of druuuugs" all summer irl i predict

tori kelly - nobody love

I'd like to nominate Nigeria's Young John the Wicked Producer's sound as the Sound of Spring+Summer 2015.

Because:

Lil Kesh "Gbese"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvwiEejTuoE

Olamide "Bobo"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SFmZKO35SfQ

Sexy Steel "Sisi"

Also, released last year, but this is its first summer:

Ricky Blaze ft. Shaggy & Kranium "Overrated"
https://soundcloud.com/fmerecordings/ricky-blaze-feat-kranium-shaggy-overrateddirty
a full video was never released (so far):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FeoYTnp6hkU

And:

Bigbang "Bae Bae"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TKD03uPVD-Q

Loving ILOVEMAKONNEN's 'Whip It (Remix) ft. Might today

yeah, 'deja vu' is great too, and catchier, 'freefalling' is just more blissed out and sun-scorched, both definite summer jams tho

This is my jam right now:

Todd Terje - Alfonso Muskedunder (Mungolian vs Tangoterje Dub) (2015)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NFckoohSzVc

There are some great songs in this thread btw.

Also:

Falcon Punch - Donald's Bird

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W7TCRdBE6Ns

maroon 5 "this summer's gonna hurt like a motherfucker"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T59kB3hq3Yg

Wrong thread.

yeah yeesh

absolute fucking tune, step to it
i see god in that hook

Oh I stepped in it, alright.

i have a lot of patience for maroon 5 but yikes

Actually, having listened to it in full, I hate that I'm going to be singing along to this. Because summer always hurts like this.

as long as forks keeps it off the playlist

like one of the first things mentioned itt was a lunchmoney lewis song
this is not the cross we need to die on

as it happens, not yet on spotify

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cFGN5JcQQm4

dig the texture of the Becky G song, as usual don't fuck with the product placement in the vid

Yup, another great tune from Becky G. Everyone else feeling this? Wish I lived in LA for those taco trucks alone.

chris lake & chris lorenzo - piano hand

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AtPJLC0aMW4

Pender Street Steppers - Golden Garden

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

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNLIJhmJSY4

Good run.

This is kind of cheesy a la Junior Senior but it's been making the rounds on some clubs around here and I'm starting to fall for it:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0DaInuaZz08

Oh maybe scratch that last one since noone has mentioned this yet:

Major Lazer feat. MO - Lean On

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rn9AQoI7mYU

A very late entry -

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=db70kW1nY2U

For sheer unavoidability, if for nothing else, I am reservedly nomming

The Weeknd - Can't Feel My Face
Skrillex / Diplo / Bieber - Where Are U Now
Rihanna - Bitch Better Have My Money

Otherwise, this is a quick reminder that summer is sadly over (though latecomers will be added to playlist through the end of the year) and that all available tracks mentioned on this thread have being updated to the thread-specific Spotify playlist as posted. I just did another top-to-bottom sweep prior to posting this message and have revised as of today with everything that's been added since first mentioned. It's 94 tracks, over 6 hours.

Rolling Summer Jams 2015 Thread Spotify Playlist

Add "No Sleeep" to that list, pronto.

Probably well past time to consider any here but as we move to the end of the year, I'd like to drop a quick note to encourage any readers / lurkers / ilxors to post their favorite summer jams from this year to the thread so that I can hoover them into the ongoing spotify playlist. Last chance for any accessible stragglers that may not already be in the lexicon.

I'm wrapping this playlist for the year. It has been updated with a few new adds (Geko, Macross 82-99, Format: B) and includes every track mentioned on thread that is available via Spotify's US catalogue as of EOY 2015. If I missed something or if a track comes available sometime in the future, bump here to let me know and I'll add.
