The epitome of summer was best described this time last year, when Jessii, Dove and I were soaking up a few rays and a few beers on the deck at Royal Terrace – “All I need is my two best mates, a few brews, Six60 and the sun.” Never a truer word spoken I would say! Of course, Six60 isn’t any sort of compulsory choice of phat beat, but on that beaut day last year, it was the best choice. I’ve been flicking through my iPod this week and I’m utterly embarrassed at how shit I’ve been at keeping up to date with new music this year. I’m still listening to last year’s summer jams – oh the shame! But in saying that, these jams are absolute classics. They aren’t only last summer’s jams, but most of them are true traditional summer beats since at least 2009. So in tribute to the classics, I suggest you make sure the following tracks make an appearance in your summer playlist. They make such a difference – the kind that triggers the happy feelings and positive outlook on life that oozes the summer buzz.
You Get Me - The Black Seeds
Dutchies - Shapeshifter
Collie Herb Man - Katchafire
Desperado - Six60
Skankenstein - Kora
The Seed 2.0 - The Roots
Little Secrets - Passion Pit
Indulge Me - David Dallas
Trick Me - Kelis*
Me, Myself and I - De La Soul
One - Shapeshifter
Pop Your Bottle - Kora
Life Gets Better - Ed Solo & Skool of Thought
Life Gets Better - Ed Solo & Skool of Thought
Good God, just listened to a few of these goodies in anticipation and excitement and I’m going to sleep a happy lil lass. Don't be fooled, there are so many more phat beats that get the old endorphins pumping, but these are definitely Class A feel good drugs that I'm addicted to December through February.
*Note: resurrected from the iTunes basement and yes, it’s still AMAZING and the video is still AMAZINGER.
