Boringmix 002: Summer

So not too long ago I made a little playlist and it went down fairly well so I've had another go at it for the Summer season. There is no rhyme or reason to these songs, just a handfull of things that I think fit well together and should sound good at anything you might be getting up to over the next few months.

The tracklisting is as follows:

Hercules And Love Affair – Blind (Frankie Knuckles Remix)
Kelis – 4th Of July (Fireworks) - Club Version
Delorean – Stay Close
Rusko – Hold On
Kele – On The Lam
Major Lazer – Pon De Floor
Lil Wayne – A Milli
JJ – Ecstasy
Animal Collective – My Girls
Yeasayer – Ambling Alp (Memory Tapes Remix)
Janelle Monae – Tightrope - Feat. Big Boi
The Very Best – Warm Heart Of Africa (Feat. Ezra Koenig)
Mystery Jets – Dreaming Of Another World
LCD Soundsystem – All My Friends
The Tough Alliance – Neo Violence
Phoenix – Rome - Neighbours with Devendra Banhart
Caribou – Sun
Sébastien Tellier – La Ritournelle

SBTRKT - 'Soundboy Shift'

Just before Christmas last year I posted a great remix of 'We Want War' by SBTRKT. Now I have brand new, original material from dubstep's latest vowel denier.

Keeping things secretive 'Soundboy Shift' will be a limited release on Young Turks and follows the aforementioned TNPS remix and one of Basement Jaxx's 'Scars' which you can find on Spotify. 'Soundboy...' is a minimal but insistent track, looping and swirling two-step and tech before focusing half way through and storming home. Stream it below and enjoy your weekend.
