We may be well into August but it’s never too late to discover a new summer jam, and the aptly named ‘Summatime Fine’ can be exactly that. The velvety songwriting of Mars Today combined with the masterful beat-making of ESTA make for the smoothest of songs to lay back and chill to. If that weren’t enough, the killer talkbox finale will melt whatever part of you has managed to resist it to this point. With every week that passes we get a little closer to the release of Tom Misch’s Beat Tape 2, but as long as we keep getting this steady feed of blissful tunes, we’re more than happy to wait a little longer. This week we’re served a glorious collaboration with the gorgeous vocals of Carmody, offering rich floating vibes to meld with the sun-kissed handiwork of the talented musician.
Miami Horror know a thing or two about crafting an anthem for the sweltering sun, and their latest single ‘Cellophane’ will remind you just how good they are at bringing the party heat to eager crowds and friendly gatherings alike. Consider this next feature a public service announcement not to sleep on the the newly emerged London-based group PREP. ‘Cheapest Flight’ may be a debut track, but it doesn’t take a discerning ear to realize there would be years of collective experience behind this one. Unbelievably smooth production and infectious brass collide for a pure easy listening experience that is so damn refreshing.
The vocal delights extend well beyond these features though, so take the time to soak up the rest of the magic collated down this week’s list. Peace out.
