CURT REYNOLDS - TOP 5 SUMMER JAMS

Summer is still going strong for us west coasters, in fact we have been experiencing quite a heat wave over the past week! To keep the hot hot vibes going strong, Los Angeles duo Curt Reynolds gave us their Top 5 Summer Jams to get your week started right!  These deep house disco chrispy legends can be found playing scorching sets almost every weekend up and down the west coast -- it's always a party with these babe's! Listen and love!  

Claptone - Dear Life ft. JAW (Purple Disco Machine Remix)
Ben's selection perfectly tailored with a classic disco bassline for those elongated daytime Summer sessions. 

Maxim Kurtys - I'm Movin On ft. Becky Rutherford
Tyler's go-to for when the dance floor is craving that deep bass. This track has the perfect combination of tight percussion, enticing vocals by Becky Rutherford, and a punchy bass arrangement. 

Jean Tonique - What You Wanna Do
We love this French pluck-heavy feel good jam. It goes perfect with a tangy Tequila cocktail and dance-offs by the pool...vitamin D included. 

Aeroplane - Page One Is Love
The legend that is Aeroplane delivers yet again. This is a more recent tune but we think it has the ability to extend Summer into the colder months. Blast this in a convertible while flying high down PCH and you'll see why. A sure classic.

Saint Motel - Just My Type (Eau Claire Remix)
We had the pleasure of playing alongside Eau Claire at a recent LA pool party and boy did we enjoy the vibes. Her remix of Saint Motel's "My Type" is nothing short of perfection and it spews the word SUMMER from all angles.

GRYN - TOP 5 SUMMER JAMS

While summer may be winding down, the music of summer continues! We've recruited fellow tastemakers and SoCal legends GRYN to give us their Top 5 Summer Jams. Living up to their name, the guys have made us smile with a great mix of soul, funk, house, deep groovy bumps and daytime splendors. These tasty tunes are the perfect way to get you through this hump day. Listen and Enjoy! Take it away fellas.  

Mark Ronson -  I Can't Lose Ft. Keyone Starr (Pomo Remix)

To us, this remix wholly embodies summer… so it’s the perfect track to kick off our selection. Pomo’s signature funky basslines work too well over Keyone Starr’s powerful vocals. It’s all around such a well-produced, feel-good track.

Cosmo's Midnight - Walk With Me (feat. KUČKA)

This track has been constantly playing whenever we have a minute and decide to trek around LA with friends. The entire thing is one fun and lighthearted groove. Also, this track pairs nicely with a heavy dose of Vitamin D.

Kartell - Attracted

We got our hands on the new Kartell EP just before summer hit, and haven’t been able to stop grooving since. It’s a great track to accompany any summer situation, be it sipping beverages by the pool or getting your boogie on at a rooftop soiree.

Gallant - Weight in Gold (Brasstracks Remix)

This track hits us square in the feels. Every damn time. It felt like everyone and their mothers decided to remix Gallant this summer, but for us, this Brasstracks iteration takes the cake. It’s the perfect transition track between your daytime and nighttime summer escapades.

Thabo Getsome - The Sound (Sacha Robotti's Wobbly Remix)

We’ve been mixing with this Sacha Robotti remix nonstop this summer. This is the track you should throw on once the sun has finally set and you’re ready to spend a balmy night on the town.

BIG WILD - TOP 5 SUMMER JAMS

Considering this Los Angeles legend totally blew our hair back with his live set at our SXSW party, I knew this was going to be a brilliant Top 5 Summer Jams!  Big Wild takes us into his unique world with this very chill and very sexy list that I have just kinda swooned over!  I am so impressed by this youngster's level of taste and ability to feel outside the box, you can tell he actually listens to and cares about music, drawing influence from all types of sounds and feels!  Well done!  Listen and love! 

Dead Times - Lightness
I love the unique sound of this track. Calvin’s lyrics and vocal style manage to be both haunting and sexy. The production has a really nice push-pull feel as well.

Thundercat - Them Changes
I’m a huge fan of Thundercat and his bass style and “Them Changes” represents his best work yet. So groovy and moving.

From the album " Vini Reilly "(1989)

The Durutti Column - Otis
I got this song from Jamie XX’s boiler room set and it generates such an awesome feeling. Played this many times while driving through the desert, so it awakens very vivid imagery of the vast landscape.

Donnie Trumpet & The Social Experiment - Pass The Vibes
I enjoy playing this song in the morning while eating grapefruit. Puts a smile on my face and gets the day started right haha.

Flume - Some Minds
This song proves that Flume is still a one-of-a-kind producer. The drop is so simple, yet so powerful. Also, Andrew Wyatt’s vocals are great. I love how he made his voice detune in certain parts.

CARMADA - TOP 5 SUMMER JAMS

Every year I meet a fresh group of musicians who play one of my events throughout the US, and every year there is one person or persons (usually Australian) who totally steal my heart! I know we are only 1/2 way through 2015, but I'm convinced Carmada will walk away winning! I've already done 2 shows with this gorgeous Aussie duo, and kinda chomping at the bit to do more! They have provided us with their top 5 summer jams, and as I suspected they have handed over an eclectic group of tracks -- asking us to get low,  chill out, and feel summertime vibes for days!  

This Friday Carmada will be slaying their live set in San Francisco at 1015 -- and I'll be there raging!! If you are in the bay area this is something you cannot miss!  Tickets are on sale now - so grab a pair HERE and meet me and the Aussies there!!

Nick Lynar - Too Dope
Perfect track for chilling by the poolside

Bengal - The Nile
This track makes you want to do backflips of jetty's into water!

Bag Raiders - Shooting Stars
There's no need to explain this track, just listen and you'll understand.

The Similou - All This Love
Mad because it's real sick and makes everyone do mad stuff!

Video edited - Allsoftware productions - Englad Sunday.february 12, 2012 original liryc Could you be loved and be loved? could you be loved and be loved? don't let them fool ya, or even try to school ya! oh, no! we've got a mind of our own, so go to hell if what you're thinking is not right!

Bob Marley - Could You Be Loved
Just because it's Bob.

JACKLNDN - TOP 5 SUMMER JAMS

As we cruise into this 4th of July holiday weekend, our bud JackLNDN has given us his top 5 summer jams for us to vibe on!  He's put a lot of thought into this as well!  Jack is not one to do anything 1/2 way - from his high energy live sets to his sunny personality to his hilarious disposition -- he's always at 100!  JackLNDN has picked out some sexy tracks, perfect for our summer jams!  I am so excited to have him on my boat party this weekend - this Brit will be celebrating our American independence day with new friends and southern California feels! 

Tyler Touché - Act Of God ft. Jason Gaffner
This disco bouncer is the perfect way to kick off the selection. Tyler Touche, lays down a bunch of classic sounds, infused with his signature cool funk and topped off with killer vocals. It’s hard to resist it.  I particularly love the pluckiness and movement in the baseline, it keeps the track rolling along nicely.

Hayden James - Something About You (Just Kiddin Remix)
I love everything the Just Kiddin guys put out, without exception. I’m always playing there music out, and it always goes off. Been rinsing their JT edit for years now haha. Their latest offering just dropped and is no disappointment. Been craving a version of this track to throw in my sets and now I have the perfect one.

Craig David - Fill Me In (Sterling Silver & Mark Maxwell Bootleg)
This next one is a bit of a weapon, I have been playing it a whole bunch recently. Huge throwback and a little bit of everything, plus a bouncy unexpected drop. This should have a tonne more plays. Always seeing people smile and sing along when I drop it.

Tom Misch - Sunshine
There hasn’t been a Tom Misch track in a while that I haven’t loved. This new track is so chilled, and about as summery as they come. Called ‘Sunshine’ it features his classic laid back vocals with nice groovy guitar picks, and his signature juicy chord choices.

Kartell - Mood
Kartell is one my all time favourite producers. The variety of what he produces is amazing and consistently vibey. He is also responsible for throwing together some of my favourite mix tapes too.This track is taken from his new EP, which includes the insanely bouncy ‘Attracted’ amongst other bangers. I chose this one instead because its super chilled and beautiful. The perfect late afternoon early evening track for the summer.

FILOUS - TOP 5 SUMMER JAMS

We have been keeping a close watch on this little muffin, and gotta say we pretty much love everything he puts into the world.  filous is a young producer from Austria - another talented kid who is barely legal and absolutely slaying the jams, one after another after another.  He's given us a Top 5 summer jams playlist that he believes are fire - and we have to agree!  You should also check out all filous tracks because ..... they are bananas good! Enjoy! 

RAC - Back Of The Car
Like many songs from RAC "Back of the Car" is one of those songs that will instantly put me in a good mood. The perfect motivational, feel good summer track.

Me & My Toothbrush - One Thing (Nora En Pure Radio Mix) 
Absolutely fantastic production on this one. Love the floaty and chill, but also dancy vibe of the track!

PALASTIC - Don't Hesitate ft. Y Z R
I have been listening to PALASTIC constantly for the last two months and fell in love with everything they have put out so far. "Don't Hesitate" is a great, catchy and unique track - love it!

Mura Masa - Lovesick Fuck
That awesome steel drum melodie combined with that groovy beat is killing me, I just can't stop listening to this song!

Big Wild - Afterglow
That moment when the drop is kicking in is a pure bliss. Definitely one of my favourite tracks at the moment!

PLS&TY - TOP 5 SUMMER JAMS

Wow - this top 5 is super hot! Our new fave producer out of Florida has to be PLS&TY!  The minute he came into our lives and we heard his sweet jams, we kinda swooned a little!  This future bass kid has got something we really like, and this selection of summer jams is proof in the pudding ... it tastes so good!  PLS&TY got so into this there is even a 6th pick for a little extra heat!  Any one of the tracks below will make your summer playlist super sexy! Enjoy! 

Oliver Heldens & Shaun Frank - Shades of Grey ft. Delaney Jane
Such a feel good jam. Delaney’s voice is amazing. This song is so catchy and really something special

Coolwater (Far East Movement & Autolaser) - Up To No Good ft. Adrian Delgado
Far East Movement and Autolaser!? I can not wait to hear more Coolwater tracks. Autolaser is insanely talented, probably the next Jimi Hendrix, and it was a pleasure working with him on our recent collab!

Two Fresh. - Gettin Throwed ft. Towkio & Joey Purp
This goes! I saw Two Fresh play a show at Grand Central Nightclub here in Miami a while back, so this new release on Next Wave Records got me super excited! “Let “Gettin Throwed” be your guide as you ride through your city”.

Jai Wolf - Indian Summer
One of the most impressive original releases of summer 2015, and curated by Odesza’s Foreign Family Collective, Jai Wolf’s track is legendary! It’s beautiful from beginning to end. The synths are stunning.

Netsky - Rio
Ahh, I love Netsky. Finally a new original track, and every sound is perfect… the percussion, the vocals, the piano, everything. Anything Netsky is very sentimental for me, as he’s one of the artists that originally kickstarted my passion for electronic music.

Taylor Swift - Bad Blood ft. Kendrick Lamar (Arman Cekin Remix)
Immediately hooked by the gorgeous piano chords at the start. Arman’s song was just released with a premiere by Run The Trap, and it’s pretty incredible. One of the most talented producers I know and a close friend.
