Today is floatopia in Santa Barbara (see absurd video below) so I'm gonna keep it brief. Today's music is best served loud with a side of weekend.
Stay Classy,
Augustus

Summer
It occurred to me today that where most of you guys are right now, summer is coming to a close and fall is slowly creeping in. Unless you're one of our readers from the southern hemisphere, of course.. in which case it's becoming springtime... which is seriously fucked up.. but anyways I just got to Santa Barbara, California today, where it's more or less summer all year long. In honor of that incredible fact, I present to you the ultimate summer playlist. (not including the plethora of great summer jams that we've already posted, obviously)
This first one is a brand new Bit Funk remix of a Grum track. I'm surprised that the world didn't end from an excess of awesomeness when they decided to collaborate. Definitely hope to see more of this combination in the future.
Nothing says summer quite like Aeroplane.
Ah yes, Sun Is Up by Inna. This song reminds me of watching the sun rise on a beach in Ibiza next to Simian Mobile Disco with my boys Will and Pete (shout out). It also reminds me of getting mugged at sunset on that same beach 15 hours later. Sweet and sour. Gotta love the summer.
Hervé's newest single. Hervé can do no wrong.
Summertime, and the livins easy. Especially when Snoop Dogg shows up out of nowhere high as shit and decides to run a train all over a classic sublime song.
More Snoop, this time with New York house guru Armand Van Helden
Yelle. Tepr. Need I say more?
Dada Life. I literally could not get enough Dada Life if I tried. I try every day.
Bibio, the alien from planet chillwave. (I think that could be the most flattering introduction I've ever given)
ps, I snuck in the new experimental album cover in one of the songs today. let us know what you think
Oh, and the HARD Haunted Mansion trailer just came out. Bright & Shiny will definitely be covering this.

Late Night Jams
I'll keep it short and simple. This is late night music. You know, the type of stuff you want to be listening to in a parked car somewhere at 3 in the morning, or on the drive home from a ragetastic shenanigan-filled night. Soak it up.
The name says it all for this first one.
This next song is an absolute classic. If you don't already have it, shame on you (but download it and start loving it as soon as possible).
While everyone knows that Deadmau5 songs like Strobe and I Remember make for great late night listening, most people aren't familiar with the progressive house goodness of his deeper cuts, like these next two. (Warning - play as loud and with as much bass as possible)
Although this next track doesn't quite fit in with the bass-pumping tunes I've been giving you, it's one of my favorites and definitely deserves to be on any legit late night playlist.
This one is a little low key, but nonetheless a good late night progressive house tune.
This song takes a minute or so to build up.. but once it does, it's straight BOMB
Late Night Alumni are great.
When Kaskade and Deadmau5 team up, you know you're in for some seriously progressive and deep late night tunage. While this one doesn't live up to the epicness of I Remember, it's still a great track. Give it a minute or two to build up.
HOMEWORK
Now for some bonus homework from the Bright & Shiny School of Music, this next track is the absolute opposite of a late night jam. It's a bonafide club-destroying banger of a song. Mixed by JFK from MSTRKRFT, this is a song that you should listen to at your own caution, as it has been known to cause face melting and spastic body movement amongst other physical symptoms. If you do choose to attempt this homework assignment, the only requirement is that you play it as loud as your speakers will allow.
