If you’re reading this from the northern hemi – well, you just had your turn. But if you’re in the southern hemi then you’ve surely felt summer plucking its strings. Life begins again with summer! We carry it around in us all winter and wait wait wait for the first excuse to loosen the trunks from our draw and live high on the breeze! In the top five most crucial things to a perfectly-executed summer is the appropriate soundtrack. Variances in mood are crucial, but so, too, is a dreamy motif. Below are 12 songs (plus a bonus classic) that may, for some, achieve that. You might recognise the first tune from one of the best surf movies ever made. And others from elsewhere. Maybe this list ain’t even your thing! But Stab would like to think that there’s something in here for most. If Havaianas, whose entire soul embodies what summer is (open footwear!), had a beach club – this is what you’d likely hear playing.

Greyboy – Panacea

Kartell – Pantera

Darius – Maliblue

Big L – Fall Back

Flight Facilities – Waking Bliss

Her Space Holiday – Key Stroke

The Presets – Summer of Love

Andras & Oscar – Looking Back

Antilope – Body Trouble

Hieroglyphics – You Never Knew

ZHU – Cocaine Model

Chemical Brothers – Lost In The K-Hole

****

Bonus classic: Dave Brubeck – Take Five
