Whats up y'all. Karl here, sorry I have been sluffin on my posting, but I have been saving up some tunes for a nice start to summer playlist. So, ladies throw on your swimsuits and beach dresses, fellas throw on your trunks, download and burn these songs to a CD and take it to the beach--guaranteed to make the sun shine a little brighter and the ocean a little bluer.
Song #1: Lights Out (Herve Remix)- Santigold
I have always been a big fan of Santigold and this ethereal remix really got me vibin'. Perfect to lay back and chill too. Also has a really nice progressive techno beat.

Song #2: Silhouettes (Original Vocal Mix)- Avicii
Honestly, who doesn't love Avicii right now? His songs bring the energy of dubstep with the happiness of electro-pop club bangers that just make you
feel good. I particularly like this lesser-known song of his.

Song #3: Limit To Your Love (Benny Benassi Unreleased remix)- James Blake
The only way I can describe Blake's style is Post-/Indie Dubstep. Benny Benassi took advantage of the dubstep side of things, dropping this AMAZING remix of Blake's lead single, Limit to Your Love. This song starts out chill but quickly builds to a crescendo that just grips you and doesn't let go.

Song #4: Boyfriend- Best Coast
Although this song is a little girly, the lead singer's infectious voice and catchy guitar riff makes this song perfect for downing a couple of cold Corona's too.

Song #5 & 6: Illuminata & Come With Me- ceo
I oftentimes just go on iTunes and peruse their electronic section just to find random dj's I have never heard of. ceo is a band I came across on my latest foray. I really like these two songs, but then again I like their whole album. Kind of remind me of Holy Ghost! a little bit.

DOWNLOAD (Come With Me)
Song #7: Blue Skies- Willie Nelson
This awesome Willie Nelson song is guaranteed to put the sun in your eyes and make you forget about your problems. I can listen to this song on repeat.
DOWNLOAD *NOTE* I could not find the Mediafire to this song. To download, right click on the download link (which you get after entering a security code) and choose "Download Linked File" from the options
Song #8: Every Teardrop is a Waterfall- Coldplay
I am not gonna lie... I have always been a big fan of Coldplay. Their anthemic, epic rock songs make me feel great and this new song is no exception. Think Viva La Vida with a little more electronic influence.
DOWNLOAD
Song #9: C.T.F.O.- SebastiAn (feat. M.I.A.)
SebastiAn kind of hearkens to Sleigh Bells-esque acid rock/pop and M.I.A.'s vocals are awesome telling us to C.T.F.O.--chill the fuck out!!! My mother needs to listen to this song...
DOWNLOAD
Song #10: Satisfied N' Tickled Too- Taj Mahal
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm let this reggae-soul get you on dat wavelength.
DOWNLOAD *NOTE* The same download instructions go for this one as with the Willie Nelson song... you have to download this one its awesome!!!
Song #11: I Left My Wallet in El Segundo (Vampire Mix)- A Tribe Called Quest
I have always been a huge fan of Tribe and when I accidentally added an 800-song Fatboy Slim discography that I had torrented to my library (Best mistake I have ever made) I was more then pleased to hear this funky remix of El Segundo, one of my favorite songs by them.
DOWNLOAD
Song #12: We Can Not Get Enough!- Laidback Luke
Laidback Luke is one of my favorite DJ's right now. He has awesome transitions and his dj-ing skills are super on point. I discovered this song on his BBC Radio One Essential Mix and immediately fell in love with it... I think you will too. Kind of makes me feel like I am dancing across a 'field of bass'.
DOWNLOAD
Song #13: Happiness- Pizzaman
Another song I discovered on my Fatboy Slim music overload... and I think a perfect cap to this mixtape. I like it because it is an electronic song that manages to incorporate real instruments and nice gospel vocals. Also, I'm not gonna lie, it puts a big smile on my face.
DOWNLOAD *NOTE* The same download rules go for this one... right click on download link and click 'Download Linked File'! This is another must have!
Enjoy these songs and check back here often. Now that me and Gabe have joined forces back in the 206, expect a lot more cheesy joints to be thrown your way.
