The end of May, the beginning of June, the sun shines, the rain departs, for now. Here’s a few beat-bopping tunes to start the simmering summer months. To kick things off we’ve got ourselves a track by The Very Best with Vampire Weekend’s Ezra Koenig. As per usual, another Club 8 song has slipped in, but not without a few touches from Iceland’s Jónsi. London’s Tunng, the legendary Sérgio Mendes, Basque favourites Delorean and La Bien Querida also get in on the mix. Swedish band jj and B.o.B add their own touch to two songs, one of which is far classier than the other. Between B.o.B and Ezra Koenig we’ve come quite close to a Vampire Weekend, but maybe that’ll have to wait for next week.
The Very Best - ‘Warm Heart Of Africa (Feat. Ezra Koenig)’
Club 8 - ‘Jesus, Walk With Me (Jónsi Remix)’
