DJ Girish:

Sundancing by Jamie Jones (inset) and Alan Fitzpatrick — “The song’s got a pure summer vibe although it’s a bit on the deep house side. But it’s still quite funky and melodious and this works well for sundown and pool party settings.”

Morenita by Robbie Rivera and JP Candella  — “This is a Latin house classic, but the boys have come with a super remix which automatically rolls into my peak-hour summertime Saturday night house set. This is mainly because of its Latin vocals, different percussions and the added drama in the new remix.”

Oxygen Levels Low by Colyn — “For that perfect blend of house disco meets electronica, funk and arpeggios, Oxygen Levels Low is a perfect fit for post-sunset sessions at indoors and outdoor parties.”

DJ Nishal:

First Class by Jack Harlow — “I love the groove of this track which comes with a really chill rap flow by Jack Harlow. The song comes from Fergie’s Glamorous which has some summery vibes to it.”

Cooped Up by Post Malone (inset) featuring Rosie Rich —”I love the melody of this track by Post and these two are some of my most favourite artistes.”

Sort Hai by J Trix X SubSpace — “This track has a vibe on its own. I can relate to this track the most and it fits my style really well. This song can be used to heat up a dance floor.”

DJ Priyanka:

Heat Waves by Glass Animals (inset) — “The song is about living in the moment. There will be things that cannot be changed and letting go of these things is important.”

Emiliana by CKay — “Emiliana is a fresh track that gives the summer fling a modern twist and exudes the happy and energetic Afro vibe of love.”

Attention by Justin Bieber and Omah Lay — “This is a simplistic raw track that tells us about our vulnerability and speaks volumes about our desire to be with someone and grow with them. If deprived, our hearts seek other measures to compensate for the emptiness. Summer, being the season of new love, adds to this emotion.”

DJ Kunal Bose:

In The Air Tonight by D Andre & Igi, Drinkee by Sofi Tukker Vintage Culture & John Summit Extended Mix, and Stay by Kryder (inset)— “I feel like a summer playlist should have more of a driving sound which would make you groove in a club, or in your car while listening to a podcast or chilling next to a pool. It should sound fun.”

Rise Up by Avalon (Outsiders remix 2022), Have A Nice Day by Endeavour and Spiritual Understanding by Spinal Fusion (inset) — “All of these being psy-trance songs remind me of the times I attended and played at some parties in Goa.
