Think of The Summers of The Past


DETO

Recommended Posts

since lately the weather has been getting warmer and after downloading <span style='color:pink'> Mediterranean Vibes by DJ Chus and David Penn

(Thank you Kilo!) I can't wait for summer to come.

It's almost time to break out the board shorts and flip flops, sippin on blender drinks poolside. so i decided to start making my first "warm weather" mix of the season. and i have a few songs, but to get an idea of what else to put on my summer mix(s)

what do you listen to come summer time? my summer favorite has to be old school classic The Fresh Prince and Jazzy Jeff's Summertime. </span>

glad you liked it deto.

 

to make the ubermix:

 

You have to toss in some Babel Gilberto,

some K&D Sessions dub style downtempo,

some Samba Squad to get authentic,

anything from the Bob Sinclair 'Africanism' series,

and that 'Steal My Sunshine' song by Len, just for a laugh.

 

 

in 14 days I will be on a plane to Antiqua.

Antiguq has 365 beaches, one for each day of the year!

Next Level by Show Biz and A.G.

 

not the original version ( which blows) but the snappy remix that is a jazzy, mellow, atmospheric mix that makes me think of rolling to the city in a drop top on a warm evening

 

Anything off Atmospheres 7 Head Shots album would work good too.

'steal my sunshine' is my jam. ha.

 

that's the definete summer jumpoff!

 

another one that reminds me of summer consistently is people under the stairs' "empty bottles of water. "93 til infinity" is another summer banger that you had already mentioned.

yeah, this one's cool. The whole '93 till infinity is a pretty choice album

 

I would also reccomend the whole Dr Dre "The CHronic" album. Solid gold. The definitive rap album of the nineties

oh dear god i am stoked out of my mind for summer.

 

except that we fucking moved into a house without a pool like, 6 months ago. i dunno what the fuck im gonna do with myself now that i cant just bake out poolside wearing a speedo and wayfarers (you must wear wayfarers during the summer. must.) and listening to blondie while eating benzos and drinking homemade smoothies and bahama mamas all day.

 

oh wait, im gonna be moving back to new orleans in may. haha. rock n roll.

 

for the summer months, i usually tend to lean toward hypnotic, repetitive late 70s, early 80s jams. the repetitive beat tends to go well with the heat and slowness of lounging around all day and cruising around all night.

 

CRUCIAL summer bands:

 

blondie

a flock of seagulls

japan

duran duran

heaven 17

joy division

human league

more blondie and more seagulls

 

all kinda sorta played, but SO appropriate for slow summer days.
