☄ ☼☁☼☁☼☁☼ ☮ SUMMER JAMS 2011 ☮ ☀⚡☀⚡☀⚡☀ ☄

it is gorgeous out and i need some of this years summer jams guys. what are they??

THREAD RULE: NO BULLSHIT

Pitbull f/ Ne-Yo - "Give Me Everything"

vybz kartel - summer time

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6WJFjXtHcy4

http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lluypkg7Hq1qa9bmvo1_500.png

I was going to start this thread the other day! Cross-genre I assume?

(My only rule was going to be no mopey indie songs about it being the end of summer, but that's covered under bullshit).

Big Boi ft. Janelle Monáe – Be Still
Foster the People - Helena Beat
John Talabot - Families
Mitten - Similar Sense
Tove Styrke – White Light Moment

yes, totally cross-genre, and yes, you are right matt, NO BULLSHIT, 100% summer jams

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQx5EAfirhc

^^^ Todd Terje - Snooze For Love

(More of a beach jam really but if that doesn't qualify then what does?)

hot natured - forward motion

dj quik - so compton
max b - where do i go
soulja boy - zan with that lean

Kenton Slash Demon - Daemon
Rosa Lux ft. Alberte & Josefine Windig – Min Klub Først

ggd - adult goth

agree w/ kreayshawn & 'forward motion'

beyonce 1+1 is likely to become one thru sheer force of radioplay imo, sorta like 'we belong together'

thats a ~prediction~

nah "Motivation" > anything B has out for at least the first half of the summer

otm

i love motivation its my fav song of the year -- just sayin, i could easily see 1+1 becoming omnipresent

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j19_bA515Ws

swindle ft. roses gabor - spend is dough
miguel - sure thing
katy b - easy please me
ariana harris ft. roach gigz - city slicka
wiley - boom boom da na
cher lloyd - swagger jagger
ms dynamite - neva soft
busy signal - pon dem
ce'cile - pree mi
funkystepz - piano storm
toddla t ft. shola ama & j2k - take it back
tom trago ft. romanthony - steppin' out
almunia - new moon
julio bashmore - grand national

oh and

these are otm

A good chunk of that Quik album are summer jams.

Taryn Manning - Turn it Up

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zYtfGXhxmE

Have listened to approximately 25 times since I went back to it last night (heard it first a couple weeks ago).

all my summer jams have been named so far i think except this one

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xqo4v6iMB04

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V4afgt4bQfU
this one has potential....

lloyd is amazing. should i see him live tomorrow

OMG YES

considering i already saw him open for puffy

you went to the LTTP show? how was that?

it was awesome. the greatest hits section in the middle was a bit too long tho

bw hit me on gchat

holy shit the bass part when jeezy's rap comes in

apparently i was wrong & hes not in chi tomorrow. wtf

thats the last time i trust concert previews on youtube videos

omg taryn manning!

Yes YES YES! to "White Light Moment"

My fave at the moment, though, is Nicki Minaj's "Girls Fall Like Dominos"

okay that husulah track is crazy nice

That DJ Q / Louise Williams tune is excellent.

Also:

holy shit the bass part when jeezy's rap comes in

I think most singles from this year are going to have to go somewhere to beat the effortless teen movie straight-to-the-heart power of Superbass but here's a few I've been liking.

Wolfram - Pianopella - Adriatic sunshine yacht party vibes
Bubble Club - Morning Star (Soft Rocks Mix) - See above but with added piano house
Time Takers - She Blows (Whistle Tune) - Huge soon-to-be-ubiquitous-if-you're-in-London car stereo/carnival banger. Nyer nyer nyer nyeeeeeeeeeeeeer
Cherri V - I'm In Love - This is kinda sappy but I like it. Kind reggae influenced British R&B with a Ciara Wants For Dinner vibe
Zodiac Free Arts Club - Sonntags In Altona - Drinking-in-the-afternoon summery fake kraut loveliness
Wiz Khalifa - The Race - Obviously. Also No Sleep
Big Ben Tribe - Heroes (Tony Carrasco Instrumental Mix) - New remix of 1983 italo Bowie cover. So corny. So great. The bit where everyone on the beach bar dancefloor hugs one another

Oh shit rtc got there before me on the Whistle Tune.

Also Ame & Amonpondo - Ku Kanjani Version 2 - 3am festival raving enormous build-up "where the fuck did this come from oh wow" tune

Also also New Boyz - Backseat (Funkystepz Mix), which isn't on Youtube but is basically undeniable

Holy shit that Soundgirls Carly Simon tune is making me so so happy.

Beastie Boys ft. Santigold - Don't Play No Game That I Can't Win
There isn't a youtube link out there that isn't either played too fast or through a boombox

Kolombo - Waiting For (Michael Mayer Remix) - Outstanding sun-coming up tune

Also the B-side to Families by John Talabot, Lover's Tradition, is also gorgeous.

Holy shit that Soundgirls Carly Simon tune is making me so so happy.

― the smoke cloud of pure hatred (lex pretend), Friday, 27 May 2011 15:52 (5 days ago)

Jealous. Any idea when it's out?

debuting on radio etc in late june, last i heard

there are also other songs on her album that are even better

Excellent! So hyped for this.

i've been catching up with a lot of the suggestions here that i'd missed - all the ones i bothered with were excellent without exception, but the one that really blew me away was that michael mayer mix of kolombo that mdc recommended, which i have had on loop, spellbound, for the past 40 minutes.

props for roberto rodrigues "i got", husalah "da mob" and don omar "danza kuduro" too

that desloc piccalo track is just deliriously great

yeah, definitely have to say the boy matt done good here. kinda curious about your general listening habits now? all this balearic beach shizz is a pure blind spot 4 me...

and in that vein, cold jacking this from fourfour:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s83epvEMlFQ

If "Drumz" is not your #1 summer jam of 2011, fuck you. That basically how I break it down to an extent.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T-bF7Q8tMcE

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yaMwOuBd8L4

Veronica Maggio - Finns det en så finns det flera

^ great song!

kinda curious about your general listening habits now? all this balearic beach shizz is a pure blind spot 4 me...

the kolombo is kinda beachy but more in line w/old kompakt habits really. these are my favourite balearic beach tunes of '11 though

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

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQx5EAfirhc

Kompakt have had a beachy-trancey side for years - there's quite a lot of sonic overlap between them. I *think* the original Kolombo track is on one of the earlier Magician mixtapes, the second one maybe?

yeah, definitely have to say the boy matt done good here. kinda curious about your general listening habits now? all this balearic beach shizz is a pure blind spot 4 me...

It's like 80% of the dance music I listen to now, although I recently went on a massive binge after booking a holiday. Start with everything on Permanent Vacation and work out from there.

Lex for reason you won't understand I sort of feel ashamed to listen to anyone called Almunia but that track is great - sort of Lissvik/Studio-y.

Really like the Roberto Rodrigues as well. More mersh-house required really.

There's so many compilations around as well, it's kinda the most Spotifiable music out there if you're just picking around.

the whole almunia album is great, really

okay, on the punk or more guitar-oriented side of things. blasting this in a fast-driving car is awesome.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZO8GG9t7lc

also, that fucking Ikonika track ("PR812") that's been stuck in my head for like weeks.

Really like the Roberto Rodrigues as well. More mersh-house required really.

right, so you guys arent super listening to radio mixes or podcasts or checking shop sites and uh torrenting the beatport top 100 or whatever?

The last one I posted in that thread was actually a good tune!

well i didnt mean it like horrible horrible...

although i must confess i actually liked that last one the least of the lot ¯\(º_o)/¯

right, so you guys arent super listening to radio mixes or podcasts or checking shop sites and uh torrenting the beatport top 100 or whatever?

Radio mixes - no
Podcasts - yeah
Shop sites - I check the label sites more often than Juno or whatever
Torrenting the Beatport Top 100 - god no

tim's mixes on beats in space are almost always great imo...loads of balearic and old house. great guests too, nobody hear ever seems to talk about these mixes anymore but it's still my main place for hearing new stuff: http://www.beatsinspace.net/

love this:

Jeremy Glenn - New Life
Jeremy Glenn - New Life (Perseus 'Summer of 83' Remix)

Is there a difference between that 'milk & Honey' version and the one released by Prince Fatty 4 years ago?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=umR1ohvOQ-Y

Jonathan Burton-"Too Much Booty Shakin Up in Here" 2011 Southern soul dancefloor fave

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zIUOzX6wP0g

Is there a difference between that 'milk & Honey' version and the one released by Prince Fatty 4 years ago?

hm. sounds the same. i included it because it's the lead single from the newly-released hollie cook debut disc. but if it's disqualified as untimely, i'll happily substitute this, which i'm pretty sure is new to the debut-disc:

hadn't really caught my ear, that one - none on that riddim did - but her weaknesses get cuter the more i play it. good catch

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2qsuWugvSrw

couldnt see the wood for the trees with my ragga hat on for this one originally but it's slowly become an absolute sureshot - dearly wish it could find its way to radio somehow

(pref with a remix ft ja rule)

hadn't really caught my ear, that one - none on that riddim did - but her weaknesses get cuter the more i play it. good catch

yeah the riddim in and of itself is pretty unremarkable, but somehow the ridiculous frailty of Toi's performance brings it to life.

This too:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VTrOiYe-2oQ

great thread, downloaded/bought like 20 songs

Just want to call your attention to LA producer Plastic Plates (aka Felix Xavier), who has done some summerific remixes of late:

Adele - Set Fire To The Rain (Plastic Plates Remix)
Body Language - Social Studies (Plastic Plates Remix)

My summer jams are a bunch of depressing folk indie rock boring bullshit.

Sare Havlicek + Chas Bronz present Transatlantic Disco Alliance - Too Late

(James Bright remix is dope too but i cant find it streaming anywhere)

oh i guess that soundcloud page is snippets of three songs, the first of which is "too late"

I think this is my summer jam of the year:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYx0g87BVqc

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UKz4IRkpCQY

^^^ Tune. Just got back from a beach festival in Croatia and seemingly every DJ was playing this one.

Okay I officially love this. I need a sword so that I can knight it.

cant decide whether I love or hate that, the 2006 minimal down the well bits are a wee bit too much for an old miseryguts like me. It is monday morning after a shameful staff party though, I may be singing a diffrent tune come saturday.

It was mostly played at near-peak moment in disco sets actually. I don't think of it as a morning-after tune at all.

love it.

i'm planning a trip to croatia at the end of the summer too-- this might become my official song

cosign that is officially a jam

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

ahora con vocal! ill blu really need to get a wriggle on and rerelease 'i like the trumpet'.

chocolate puma remix predictably awesome as well:

http://soundcloud.com/defectedrecords/ray-foxx-the-trumpeter-1

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

immediately thought of lex when i first heard that nonsense

lol, I do think lex would love it (if he hasn't already heard it).

i googled looking for what the other random natasha from years ago (with the darkchild beats) was up to these days:

Natasha has modeled at many fashion shows and runways including the annual fashion show and music show broadcast by BET Rip The Runway held at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City in 2009 during Keri Hilson's "Turning Me On" performance.[4]

and that's basically exactly what this new song sounds like

i dont like that song at all

as far as im concerned this is the gold standard for feat. gucci pop songs tho
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=81jdzS4sbq0

now u mention it this one's... nearly a summer jam in my head, i listen to it anyway

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AvTg20fYZcE

not gonna claim it's great or anything

Nicky Minaj - Superbass

I actually find it a bit obnoxious but I've been hearing it being overplayed all around Madrid this summer so I guess it counts as a 2011 summer jam. No mention of it yet?

'super bass', 'novacane', 'check my swagger out', 'spaceship'... loads

haha gucci's gotta be the only current rapper old enough to have reference points for 'freaky like madonna' right?

Sade - When Am I Going To Make A Living (Poolside's Tons of Drums Edit)

only old ppl know who madonna is jeez

also there are no popular rappers over the age of 31

xpost @ Tim F - wow, that's an excellent track! so bad the download option expired, and I can't find the mp3 anywhere, damn

I may have to do something about that.

But yeah i can't stop listening to it, so dreamy and emotional yet propulsive. I'm a total stan for tears on the dancefloor stuff though.

Dude's track with Kathy Diamond was ace also. And this new one:

"also there are no popular rappers over the age of 31"

Yeesh ever heard of exaggeration? there are like two iirc

And its more abt associating "freaky" with madonna than it is about knowing who madonna is. I just can't imagine pitbull/waka/soulja boy/drake/etc coming out w a "freaky like madonna metaphor". observing that gucci is older than the artists hes associated with isn't some weird gucci centric statement

its weird when you pick up on nit-picky beefs days after they've cooled but you're just coming back to the thread for the first time

I get what deej is saying but "Madonna had sex with a horse" was like a huge rumor when I was in elementary school so I think young rappers are well aware of the "Madonna is a freak" thing lol... I mean the whole "SEX book"/Erotica/Madonna is a ho thing is pretty entrenched in pop culture to this day, like even the whole Britney Spears kiss feeds into that.

top 3 weirdo celeb rumors from my elementary/junior high school days:

1. Lil Bow Wow got raped by his bodyguard
2. Lil Kim had to get her stomach pumped after swallowing too much cum
3. Madonna had sex with a horse

I still believe all of these tbh.

It's a MIRACLE!!!

by BRETT STAIR
Six months ago our obstetrician told us that there was no chance that we could be able to conceive a child. After listening to this song and trying a few more times after we had lost hope, we have just been informed that we will have a baby due in October 2011. We are going to rightfully name he or she, Laza. Thank you so much for this gift!

THANK YOU BASED LAZA

hahahaha

that's song is a jam

WOW.

LOL A++++

the laza is very good... it's almost like a pre-classixx remix?

I'm shaken to my very foundations by this miracle of a song.
