The scene: It’s in the 90’s outside, not too humid, there’s a nice breeze too. A bright sunny day. You’re by the beach, or at a friend’s pool. Someone brought a 5-gallon thermos of tropical drinks, and even though it’s only 1 pm, you’re getting lubed on the fruity goodness.
Let’s be honest. Your higher brain functions aren’t engaged right now. You want to spend some time on a beach towel, and you might be persuaded to take a swim or throw a frisbee. You’ve got your sunscreen on, you’re wearing your cutest shades and an outfit that lets the breeze in. You want some background music, nothing too challenging, just something to create a musical backdrop. That’s what this collection delivers.
There is something old, something new, something borrowed, but nothing blue here.
House Rockerz – Testosteron
It’s cute, it’s German, it’s as far away from Sprockets as you can get.
LMC Vs U2 – Take Me To The Clouds Above
I loved this song so much in the summer of 2001. It’s time for a revival.
Coco Fay – Not The Same
Just throw your purse over the fence, honey. I’ll give you a boost, then you open the gate, mmkay?
Plastik Funk – Upside Down
Upside down, you turn me, inside out, round and round.
N.A.S.A – Whatchdoin (featuring MIA and Santogold) (Villains Remix)
This was a favorite a couple of years ago. It never really took off, so it’s fresh to most people.
