Some vocal electro tracks that have always gone down well for me. The latter is quite upbeat but has a nice, head-nod warmth to it.

Someone make a JC summer mix now!!

As for “yacht rock” (I despise the term) and poolside music, Dan’s mixes are perfection. But I’d gladly listen to more!

    Unfortunately that’s not the case. Considering the musicians playing in those records, it’s almost a derogatory term! Linda Ronstadt sings in that Ned Doheny record, for fu’s sake.

    Don’t be put off by the Hed Kandi branding- perfect summer house music this!

    sbando fair enough - yeah a great track this - I’m always (probably unfairly) inclined to put them in the same bracket as Ministry of Sound (house music for Karen’s basically).

        LT42 Not for a few weeks mate, but yeah, will be going live - will keep you posted! The stress will kill me.

        Also want to have the XDJ-XZ is situ…

          Pickles MOS helped to kill it, when Mark Doyle, the DJ behind the comps, left. MOS turned them into the commercial shit we all know, entire sections at Virgin and HMV and you couldn’t tell Hed Kandi from the imitators.

            alistair that’s the first house record i remember falling in love with, still puts a smile on my face.

              That new Satin Jackets track ‘Little Airplanes’ wouldn’t sound too out of place in a 1999/2000 Essential Selection playlist during Ibiza season. Worth holding out on any summer vibe mix until this gets an official release.
