Summer Beats

Hurrah, the summer is here.

I thought I'd compile a bit of a list of summery D&B for those long evenings chilling in the garden, driving round town with all your windows down or just generally causing noise nuisance.

• For me, the summer of 2009 was completely dominated by Hospital Records' Sick Music, and for the summer of 2010, Hospital have given us Netsky's self-titled debut LP. Stand out tracks for me have to be Iron Heart and Secret Agent, both of which are definitely big club anthems, but sound equally at home on your stereo.
  
• Talking of Sick Music, 2010 has also seen the release of Sick Music 2, and whilst the general consensus seems to be that it's not quite as head-kickingly awesome as Volume 1, it is definitely worth a purchase. Sonic's All I Wanna Do and Turn Up (The Music) by Camo & Krooked have already been big tunes for me this spring, and there are plenty more great tracks on the album. Go get 'em!
  
• Further chilled summer vibes can be found with Robot Redford. Check out Bonfire Youth:
  
  
  
  More tracks and information on his MySpace page
  
  
• Another producer who seems to have really hit his stride recently is Lenzman.
  
  
  
  Also check out Lenzman's mix for Reprise Agency here
  
  
• Back on a Camo & Krooked tip, here's another hands in the air electro D&B anthem from Beta Recordings. Lovely stuff.
  
  
  
  
• Last up, I'll leave you with Airwalker's absolutely massive Big Sky. Shame the Summer Solstice was yesterday. This one would be perfect for raving round Stone Henge.
  

All that and it's still only June. Crikey.
