XLR8R

We love the sounds of summer. Who wouldn't love the loud clatter of parties on rooftops and parks, the crashing of waves at the beach, and the thumping beats from block-party barbeques? Maybe you're bitter because your AC is broken or maybe you're sweating through all your clean shirts, but we just think that's a good excuse to strip down to your skivvies and relax with a cold, tasty beverage.

With skimpy clothes and cold drinks in mind, we've put together our favorite tracks from Issue 118 to celebrate our favorite season. Included are the steamy disco beats from Hercules and Love Affair, our favorite U.S. ragga MCs Zulu and 77Klash burnin' up the mic, some caterwauling from the genius Lexie Mountain Boys, and a few more great artists to share the heat with. Find a pool party and pump these jams! Wyatt Williams. Photo by Josh McNey.
