I still have the thread from last year bookmarked because I never got through them all >_<

glad someone else likes Vetiver. these are both great.

my fav annual thread

<3 this thread

well i guess i have a brilliant slew already

honey cocaine - sundae

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W61p-9Ev544

dexta daps - 7eleven

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q9MtScGfC7g

dotorado pro - african scream

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJE_Qejh0tU

the entire honey cocaine ep is brilliant btw, any song could fit in here

busiswa - lahla

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bd46jAe1ukU

presh ft. davido - say dem say

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

v surprised by the balearic caetano veloso vibes i get from that vetiver song

Oddisee - Thats Love
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KFtsX_XxXew

i dunno really what counts as summer jam around these parts and this is a couple months gone by but i heard it at the coffee shop a few weeks back and was totally sold by the wild going-for-it disco vocals -

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJ-vhstIgC4

The Knocks - Collect My Love (feat. Alex Newell)

Kehlani - Alive
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6DMOJkqeSrQ

summer jams is a feeling xp

yeah mine probably not laid-back/by-the-pool enough. probably my favorite thing i've gotten from one of these threads was wiley "heatwave," would be down for more like that.

that kehlani has a good vibe, i like the nintendo sounds on the chorus feeling very comfortable with the dreamy guitar and very "clean"-sounding vocals. kinda about done with this "hold on, we're going home" rhythm/momentum which feels like blasphemy to me cause historically i've always craved more of those drum sounds. hmmm.

bad rabbits - way with words

https://soundcloud.com/bad-rabbits/way-with-words

doubles as summer/rollerskating jam

not a proper summer jam thread until grady post something tho

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e1BYHC7DHHI
HNNY - Fruktstund

wait why was this thread title edited ??

project pablo - follow it up

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

did anyone send the Forks-Signal yet so we can get a spotify playlist going?

was iffy on "Way With Words" until it really kicked in, but now i'm feeling the roller boogie oomph. the zapp (or i guess "uptown funk") elements aren't unwelcome either.

yes i will be needing the spotify playlist b/c my browser will prob crash after a few more songs are added itt lol

forks signal activated; here's the rolling Spotify playlist:
<a href="http://open.spotify.com/user/forksclovetofu/playlist/3Ddjsj0w7VG3rtUEFqCU0o";>ILX's Summer Jams 2015 Playlist</a>

In love with that bad rabbits track.

somehow never got around to hearing that honey cocaine track till now and was surprised to see it interpolated "da birds"

this came out last winter i think but summer is the right time for it :D

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O7d_24jTN0Y

yes, i been jammin that ep this summer

Lion Babe - Wonder Woman (Joel Compass Remix)

This is a banger

https://soundcloud.com/lionbabe/wonder-woman-joel-compass-remix

the OG version is pleasant too but much more laconic (prod. by pharrell): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cypK8nDxR9E

yeah that's what's up!

Can someone post snoop's "so many pros"

didn't you just?

Onra ft. Daz Dillinger & Olivier Daysoul - We Ridin'

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6CKDPE4z-94

First of several:

Best Youth & Moullinex - In the Shade
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u7XzzXGAGhY

Michna - Solid Gold (feat. MNDR)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NbCr-U9hrtM

Every summer needs MNDR doing her "oh oh oh ow oh oh wows".'

Fay-Ann Lyons - Drift

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5g6EFPgzG-0

Druguse - Hood Rich Life

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XUwXG4gAzco

private agenda - freefalling

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6yEPapt3uAY

I prefer Deja Vu to Freefalling, but that's a solid 12".

IDK what this is but my friernd posted it on fb and I could see myself jamming it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u0WLDt0pztk

Nef the Pharoah - Big Tymin
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3EPYFrBaoQ

Snoop Dogg - So Many Pros
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPIm6vrSl9s

Young Thug - Knocked Off
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PjBIkpbOb9A

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jGflUbPQfW8&app

OMI - cheerleader

that's such a mixed bag though that i don't wanna fuck up our curated playlist with all that undifferentiated dross, so they're all here:
SummerTime Consensus 2015 Spotify Playlist
But I will argue Silento deserves direct addition:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uBWrpVrazzA
what else on that list is ILX approved?

continuing lack of consensus

Not really tho right? It's the Furious 7 ballad pretty much.

not really a "jam" though is it

Silento record is kinda wack

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vUdl96yqioc

This was on a June CMJ sampler, and I'm totally digging its languid, LDR vibe.
Also, Ian Cohen hated their record, which is a good contrarian signal.

official lex 2k15 summer jam

Hot Chip - Need You Know
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfH5LmhvQQk

Sort of melancholic but love the disco diva sample.

Swedish artist HNNY makes some simple, sample based sunny music too:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6MX3ut1nrw

I've been listening and adding tracks to this playlist all summer:

https://open.spotify.com/user/moteldemoka/playlist/7mxHhrMyUGjK55aKZemx76

Most of them coincide with the ones in here but there's some songs from past years as well.

Sad songs can be summer jams too:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SYbh6ob_R9M

Rae Sremmurd, "This Could Be Us"

Good For You selena

also sad

Nigerian summer jams, part 2:

Tekno "Duro"

https://open.spotify.com/track/4zI3yq6BBpbnKZYv6duHdq

Skuki ft. Olamide "Over The Mountain".

https://soundcloud.com/fola-flo-1/over-the-mountain-ft-olamide

More summer sadness, this time Dutch:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-PWpkKfpKg

Lil' Kleine & Ronnie Flex "Zeg Dat Niet"

Anthem-to-be, from Ghana:

Bra Qwequ ft. Ball J & Gigg "Fraud Money", produced by Ball J, the man behind Guru's "Pooley" that placed in the 2014 EOY Poll.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vy76DygGT_s

ooooooh 'cool for the summer' is so good

oh and my nephew is in that demi video

'cool for the summer' is p good but idk it's also like ey listen toots leave my mum out of it

https://soundcloud.com/mmmorelove/2night-is-the-night

"cool for the summer" sounds like the veronicas, which is cool

cool for the summer is a blast

detroit swindle - figure of speech

https://youtu.be/Ch4rD3Gmbdw

axel boman - 1979

j hus - dem boy paigon

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z2y6uWYFDTA

xp was it martorialist? think i saw him on the case iirc

last i checked there were little mutated bits here and there but not all coalesced to any big mix level (would need some blogger to make its uprooted case anyway) but i'll have another look

these all tend to arise from the uk roadrap type scene (sbtv / madaboutmixtapes on youtube, sort of a combo between datpiff and the old youth-submitted urban tv channel channel-u from grime's mid to late 00s) and tbh a lot of it is a terrible chore to sift thru for truffles, ime anyway

ya it was either marty or a stay hatin podcast

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

The Weeknd - Can't Feel My Face

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.
