Yeah, finished my exams and now it’s vacation time again. For those hard partying people in the academic year and hard studying people now, a few hints to get back into vacation mood! Aka: my favourite summertunes for this year (and I’ll try not to repost anything):

First up is a song from a band who made one of my favourite 2010 cds: Fool’s Gold! I must be the badest blogger around because I’ve listened a million times to this cd and didn’t made a post about how great this band is, sorry for that! But to inform you now: With Fool’s Gold you get nothing else but the best summervibes right here! Some sunny guitars and rythms, like only Vampire Weekend can make (and from now on also Fool’s Gold can make), some Hebrew singing (how cool is that!) and the best part: their cd is full of this! Greaaaaaaaat. Let the summer (re)start right now:

Fool’s Gold – Surprise Hotel

Another track which made my summer is “Baby I’m Yours” by Breakbot. Together with Aeroplane’s “We can’t fly” ony of my favourite disco(ish) tracks this year. This guy knows how to make one very very catchy song! When I listen to this track, I do it for 5 times in a row and slap myself for forgetting how great this track is and not playing this one 24/7. Just have a listen and get funky!

Breakbot – Baby I’m Yours

Third band that made a soundtrack for my summer is the big 2010 hype The Drums. But being hyped is not a reason to dislike a band my dear reader. That’s why we are proud to say: We Love The Drums! But since they already got featered a lot on this blog (that’s right, we started the hype. Now kick us in the nuts!) we have something special to share with you! 2 great covers made by the drums. First one is a download and a cover by “We used to wait”, the great new Arcade Fire song. Second one is a Supremes cover, the best one of the two but a youtube vid. Check them out:

The Drums – We Used To Wait +     The Drums – Where did our love go

Last one in this list is Patti Smith. Not at all a fresh tune but a great one though. From her most famous album “Horses”, this icon made one of my favourite tracks EVER! Okay it’s a cover but probably the best cover ever made. Starting relaxed and silent, “Gloria” gives me the dancing fever at the end of the song. This  really is a greaaaaat track, believe me! Enjoy it:

Patti Smith – Gloria

I know a short list, but hey I got vacation! Gotta go into the garden, kicking it with a cocktail and party all night long!

Peace!

Finally, the internet reveals the debut album “We can’t fly” made by Aeroplane. After Stephen left, Vita is the only pilot left but that doesn’t mean Aeroplane is less great. Still at the top of Belgian Electronic music, their disco is some of the best summermusic you can find these days. We had a listen and loved (almost) every track on this album! This album could go straight in our top 10 list “best 2010 albums”. Next to supersingle “We can’t fly” other songs like “Without Lies” or “London Bridge” got us hooked to this album. The nice balearic disco vibe on this record is irresistible and together with some tracks like “I don’t feel” and “The Point of No Return”, which have a more rocky sound (but are our least favourite tracks), this debut album gives a lot of variety and never gets boring or repetitive. We give you our two favourite tracks (after “We Can’t fly”), but when the album will be released, don’t hesitate to buy this album because you’ll love it for sure!

Aeroplane – London Bridge

Aeroplane – Without Lies

But don’t worry, we’ll still give you the best tunes around on a regular basis! To begin my comeback, I’ll share a very nice summermixtape. Some balearic tunes mixed with the finest house tunes around, Pure Love! It’s made by our ‘resident dj’, the wonderfull Circuit! The tunes Circuit normally uses are already summerish but this time he searched the best tunes possible to give us that lovely summer feeling. Give this guys some love and listen to his mixtape:

It’s their own version of two other songs, one from Friendly Fires called “Paris” and “Crave you” by Flight Facilities. You might already have heard this great remix, but now you can get it for free! Check it out:

Got some nice & fresh electronic tunes for you! Searched the internet to find the most delicious summer- and partytunes and I’m happy to present you 5 tunes which deserve 5 stars, top class!

Villa feat The New Sins-Beats Of Love

The classic track by Nacht Und Nebel in a Villa version. Expect some sunny balearic with some thunder in it. This is a great summertune to get a party started! Everybody calles Villa the new Aeroplane, and we got to agree if they keep on making tracks like this. Just pure awesomeness.

Diplo & Tiesto – C’mon

Genius producer Diplo made a track together with techno god Tiesto and it’s called ‘C’mon’. You can expect some dirty synths, pounding bass and of course a catchy vocal screaming “C’mon”. A summerhit in the club? Guess so, this track will make people go nuts.

Fatboy Slim & Hervé – Machines can do the work (Hervé remix)

A big tune made by to great dj’s Fatboy Slim & Hervé, in a hervé remix! This track is awesome, has a bit of an acid-like flow and keeps on going and going ’till the dancefloor is packed and everybody is shaking their booty! Great stuff right here.

Flux Pavilion – Got 2 Know

A great dubstep tune with even some melody in it! Great to hear a track which would be great in a faster version going so slow it kinda awesome! Have a listen!

Netsky – Secret Agent

Belgian Drum N Bass proud Netsky drops this dancefloorbomb right on time. Festivals starting, every dj is looking for one crazy track to highlight their set and they’ve found it with this “Secret Agent” one!

Party on!

Vacation is almost starting for everybody here, so that’s why I made this post full of summerish music to kick back and relax in the sun. Inspired on the new mixtape by Aeroplane, it’s time to start the summer here:

Space – Deliverance (Justus Khoncke Wild Pitch Mix)

A track from the laidback june mix by Aeroplane, you can know this song equals summer without even listening to it. But I suggest you do so, because this one is really nice.

Michael Jackson – Man In the Mirror (Das Glow Remix)

Another laidback remix right here. Das Glow dares to makes crazy and experimental tracks but this one isn’t. It just a slightly different version of the track but it’s cool. Check it out, he offers it for free on his twitter!

DiskJokke – 1987

Lovely soft beats with some laidback summertunes and synths. Lovely to hear when chilling in a hammock. Downloadable for free thanks to RCRD LB.com!

Ali Love – Smoke & Mirrors (Bottin Remix)

Some disco-ish summermusic, just have a listen and dance like a summermofo, backstroke style!

Monarchy – Love Get Out Of My Way (Tim Goldsworthy Remix)

The best song of this post, loving Monarchy and loving even more this great remix! Have a listen, catchy as hell!

Peace! The rusty Blog
