Summer Mixtape
So, the 2 readers or so of this blog is probably wondering “Why was there no post yesterday??”. Yea I dropped the ball, but yesterday was blazing hot and I couldn’t miss the opportunity to take advantage of it.
As soon as work ended, I was in my car with the windows rolled down and the sunroof rolled back. I turned my music loud and suddenly some songs were hitting the right spots. They had that perfect sound for the summer heat. I could have literally driven for hours along the coast and not care about a single thing. Who could ask for a better summer day? So, now I present to you some of the songs that are great to pump in your car with the summer humid wind flowing around.
Freelance Whales – A Great Estate

When this song came up, I just wanted to lay off the gas pedal and enjoy the scenery that was blasting by me.
Bag Raiders – Shooting Stars

Arguably, one of the best builds in a rock song.
Above & Beyond and Kyau & Albert – Anphonic (Arty Mix)
Above & Beyond vs. Kyau & Albert – Anphonic (Arty Remix) by Radio1 Dance blog v4
You know I had to include some trance in here. By far, one of my top ten trance songs for 2010 — and has a great summer vibe to it.
Duderstadt – Stranded in NYC
Another recent trance song that hit the summer chords. Love it.
