There’s usually a playlist on here every summer, at least I have a habit of making one for myself every year. This year it arrives a bit late perhaps, but yesterday was also the first day of my summer holiday so in a way the timing is perfect. This playlist holds 40 tracks that are perfect for blasting from your festival camp. I don’t know about you, but I’m going to at least one more festival this summer. It’s all bouncy beats, groovy post-punk and sunny pop songs.
The track from Laure Briard was playing in my ears when I was on the train from Amsterdam back in February and it felt like the first day of summer. Vixen also appeared in the two-part summer mix I made a few months ago, but this track is so good it deserves the double exposure. And I just saw Alice Glass and Debbie Sings at Roskilde Festival. Check the full tracklist below.

Add Yours[…] Robbie & Mona is a duo from Bristol who channel some of their forebears Portishead penchant for heavy moods – pairing it with a sparkly 80s production a la Prefab Sprout. Their self-produced debut came out on the local label and event series Spinny Nights in 2021 and the follow-up Tusky came out in March this year. I’m not sure how I first came across them but their music is perfect for a lazy summer evening. We included the Wim Wenders tribute “Wenders” on our 2023 summer playlist. […]
