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.

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?):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5z9V4LWbkVw

i did mean to ask has a deej heard this. oldish now but ur cup of tea if u havent

ok well until we've successfully run forksclovetofu from his snitching ass spotify playlists im still going to need you to weigh in on this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T-cesyyV7zg

soca joint is fresh, i enjoyed its uncharacteristic tempered joy, is that one of those fake genre "afrobeats-soca" records fader was going on about

lol i never finished that article because serwer obv but yes i suppose one could make that weird claim

this seems a departure for turquoise jeep after 'broccoli' but as usual it's kinda better than it ought to be. i can be down for 100 seconds of it sure

playlist is updated.
btw u r a lil bitch deej.

feel free to drop that in "posts in + out of character" or "truth bombs", fits both.

lol why am i the bitch i still post songs despite ur data mining

New jams!:

MLiR - People
Charlie Puth - We Don't talk anymore (feat. selena gomez)
Kungs - This Girl (kungs vs cookin on 3 burners)
The Knocks - Time 55.5 vip remix
Jack Ü - To Ü (Oliver remix) <- actually late 2015 but been overhearing it a lot lately
Systema Solar - Rumbera

Lol ignore that charlie puth song on the playlist I copy pasted it by accident.

That whole MLiR EP rules!

don't think it came out this year but I'm loving A Pass - Memories. Think it's Ugandan but not sure

https://youtu.be/TSIQv8p9Mko

that's A Pass ft. Lilian Mbabazi

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YcconFH5BiA

Sneakbo ft Nyla - Too Cool. It's about as route-one a dancehall-inflected UK banger as you could expect but it's also incredibly effective.

ooh that's an instant classic.

In love with this one today:

Bufi - Mañana

It's been a weak year for "song of the summer" consensus takes but here's some low hanging fruit that hasn't made the cut here culled from Billboard (but not, for the sake of listening safety, added to the playlist until after we get through the season).

Justin Timberlake - Can't Stop the Feeling!!!!1!!!
Drake and Kyla and Wizkid - One Dance
Lethal Bizzle - Wobble
Desiigner - Panda
Calvin Harris and Rihanna - This is What You Came For
Ariana Grande - Into You
Kent Jones - Don't Mind
Chainsmokers and Daya - Don't Let Me Down
Sia and Sean Paul - Cheap Thrills
Rihanna - Needed Me
Fifth Harmony and Ty Dolla - Work from Home
Nick Jonas and Tove Lo - Close

that list kind of sums up the problem with billboard's attempt to chart this phenomenon, particularly with its new methodologies - a bunch of those songs started as hits but have waned since, but their higher cumulative points make them more likely to be / stay on the summer song chart. (the JT song is one exception; it was released in the middle of May)

agreed, but it's also a weak-ass year for inevitable pop anthems!
in NYC, the only consistent tracks i'm hearing EVERYWHERE are Panda, Work, One Dance and All the Way Up. Needed Me starting to creep in

Calvin Harris and Sia have definitely taken over the english spoken summer anthem down here in Mexico. Drake one seems like a
minor hit, everyone knows it but it doesn't make people excited when it plays like the Rihanna and Sia do. The other ones are the standard fare of reggaeton/latin pop which dominate the latin airwaves every summer:

Enrique Iglesias - Duele el corazon
Thalia feat. Maluma - Desde Esa Noche
J Balvin feat. Pharrel - Safari

These reggaton singles have been around since last year but feel like bigger hits in summer and are also ubiquitious

Maluma - borro cassette
Nicky jam - hasta el amanecer

Another english spoken hit that hasn't been mentioned but I've been overhearing a lot this summer:
Mike Posner - I took a pill in ibiza seeb remix

one dance totally tanked during a recent dance break at Fenway

Two boys of summer:

Yung Muse ft. Tekno "Danze"

And two girls:

https://soundcloud.com/seyi-shay/juba-ft-niniola
Seyi Shay ft. Niniola on "Juba (Bow Down)"

So simple, sweet & summery:

Iyanya "Heart Beat"

(Liberia ft. Nigeria ; Nigeria ft. Nigeria; Nigeria)

obviously drake affiliation poisons this, but i do like it on one pass:

Miguel "Cadillac"

i really didnt want that to embed

Lately these two are making the trick:

Fki 1st - the meaning
M83 - go!

this is barely a summer jam but it didn't stop me from playing it twice to get hyped before going out to the beach this past weekend:

Zammuto - it can feel so good

Always been a fan of how this guy's brand of 'folktronica' it sounds much warmer and interesting than other artists doing this thing.

good call; that's lovely

Kungs vs Cookin' On 3 Burners "This Girl" is absolutely my jam of the summer. I was forced to play it three times last night. The third time round, the whole bar danced. This made me happy.

less than a week of "official" summer left.
