“The greatest festival day out you could possibly wish for . . .“

Jurassic 5 – Great Expectations
Divinyls – I Touch Myself
Kate Bush – Running Up That Hill
New Order – The Perfect Kiss
Coldplay – Everything’s Not Lost
Underworld – Born Slippy
Blur – To The End

My ideal festival day journey though seven songs; J5 for afternoon cool, Divinyls as the ultimate guilty pleasure, evening drinking to some classics like the Bush, evening dancing like it’s the Hacienda, mass love-in sing-a-long at main stage, 4am raving, to the tent with a festival stranger. That is all.

My music tastes have been described as the worst for ‘anyone over the age of 11′, but I’m not ashamed to admit that listening to the High School Musical sound track on the way to work genuinely uplifts me OR that I cried when I was in NY a couple of months ago and realised I missed Hanson’s concert by one day (still crying a bit now).

Interpol – Untitled
Daft Punk – Da Funk
Can – Mushroom
Television – Marquee Moon
Pixies – Motorway to Roswell
Queens of the Stone Age – Go With the Flow
Outkast – Hey Ya!

An aural journey that starts with tingling anticipation, rises to walking-pace defining rhythms and warping syncopation in the middle, then rocking out and hitting the dancefloor at the end. These are my going out tracks for when I’m definitely heading somewhere special.

THESE BEATS WILL MOVE YOUR FEET

I feel just like a child – Devendra Banhart
It’s only Rock N’ Roll – The Rolling Stones
Move on up – Curtis Mayfield
Roadhouse blues – The Doors
Remedy – The Black Crowes
Dog days are over – Florence+the Machine
Baba O’Reilly – The Who

From the groovin’ unassuming opening of Devendra’s ‘feel just like a child’ to the uplifting ‘Remedy’ and on to the euphoric ‘Dog Days Are Over’ by Florence and finished off by the climactic ‘Baba O’Reilly’ , these songs are guaranteed to get you moving your feet while feeling happy inside!

Stir It Up – Bob Marley
With a Little Help From My Friends – Joe Cocker
Merry Blues – Manu Chao
When Doves Cry – Prince
Scar Tissue – Red Hot Chilli Peppers
Call Me Al – Paul Simon
Wish You Were Here – Pink Floyd

Ok, so they’re not my favourite songs in the world, but these songs are all unifiers in a sea of musical difference. Festivals are about bringing people together and celebrating the commonalities between us. These songs never fail to unite people, and for that reason, I couldn’t live without them.

Easy Lover – Phil Collins
One Way or Another – Blondie
Teardrop – Massive Attack
Here Comes Your Man – Pixies
Hotel California – The Eagles
Losing My Religion – REM
Is This Love – Bob Marley

These are the songs that come on mid-conversation, and have the power to turn that conversation into a conversation about the song. That’s the beauty of music!

Just as a note, it is the Live version of Hotel California with the rockin’ trumpet intro!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XBVlOoDufQ
If you haven’t heard it yet, do so and then add it to your music collection.

REPEAT

Hand in Glove – The Smiths
Climbing up the walls – Radiohead
Hey – The Pixies
The Asphalt World – Suede
Venus as a boy – Bjork
Everybody loves the sunshine – Roy Ayers
Three of a perfect pair – King Crimson

I may seem slightly angst ridden (or sinister!) from this list but musically and lyrically these songs are seriously powerful and enjoyable to listen to, they make me feel nostalgic, emotional, happy and sad. They remind me why music is the best thing to indulge in, whatever your emotion.

Eclectic…tick…tick…BOOM!

St Germain – Rose Rouge
Neil Young – Heart of Gold
James – Say Something
The Temper Trap – Sweet Disposition
The Smiths – This Charming Man
LCD Soundsystem – All My Friends
Empire of the Sun – Walking on a Dream

If I could say something about this playlist, I would say its for all tastes and dispositions. All my friends would agree that the sound develops from the chill out beats of St Germain and includes classics such as Neil Youngs heart of gold. Timeless. The Smiths sound as modern now as they did in the 80s. As LCD soundsystem kicks in you realise that they epitomize music of the last decade – you cannot avoid losing yourself in the beat. The playlist of course leaves you with the feel good beat of Empire of the Sun’s Walking on a dream. There are not many songs which epitomise summer as much as this. It may be an ecclectic mix but its a clash made in heaven.

Oliver Dent

If music really does transport you back into memories past, then these old school anthems happily take me back to my misspent youth

Edward Maya – Stereo Love
Lady GaGa – Bad Romance
Example – Won’t Go Quietly
Erasure – Always
Flashback – Ready for the Weekend
Bombfunk MCs -Freestyler
Energy 52 – Cafe Del Mar

Charlotte’s Heartbeat

1)Pray – Take That
To take me back to the screaming fan-girl days of yore

2)Diva – Beyonce
To remind me that anything can be achieved with a little sass and attitude

3)Murder She Wrote – Chaka Demus and Pliers
If there’s a better song to dirty dance to, I haven’t heard it.

4)There is a Light That Never Goes Out – Smiths
Love is a beautiful, joyful thing when Morrissey sings about it only.

5)Supermassive Black Hole – Muse
Makes me want to interpretive dance.

6)The Coast is Always Changing – Maximo Park
Reminds me that this too shall pass.

7)Hurricane Jane – Black Kids
A happy sad song, paradoxes are fun

Energy 52 – Cafe Del Mar (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2cYWfq–Nw)
Daft Punk – Harder Better Faster Stronger (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2cYWfq–Nw)

Enjoy. x

Manu Chao – Me Gustas Tu
Eurythmics – Sweet Dreams
Specials – A Message to You Rudie
Mahala Rai Banda – Mahalageasca
Rage Against The Machine – Bulls on Parade
Miss Platnum – Give Me The Food
Shy FX – Original Nuttah

For Ibiza, how can you not start with Manu Chao? From there through two legendary songs of the 80s, the balkan ballad made famous by Borat, some of my angry young man in RATM, an anthem for food lovers, and the original junglist in Shy FX.

Bringing emotions with a fleeting memory and a smile.

I heart IBiza

Telephone – Lady Gaga ft. Beyonce

Summer days,
in a haze,
Live in your bikini
and your shades.

Great list

5. Good Enough – Shoshana Bean (Superhero)
6. I’m A Star – Eden Espinosa (Dreaming Wide Awake)
7. Let Me Fall – Idina Menzel (I Stand)

A combination of gorgeous voices, beautiful lyrics and melodies that just won’t leave you alone. Both inspiring and determined, all these songs combine a desire to live for the moment and getting the best you deserve out of life. Perfect to wake up to, dance to, sing along to, fall asleep to… And no sappy love songs here!

Before every holiday, I’ll prep a playlist to listen to in the weeks before I leave. Nine times out of ten, I’ll do that on my mobile.

Walking through the streets with some summer beats ringing through my ears (unintended rhyme) is enough to brighten up even the greyest of days, as I get lost and I’m already on a beach with the sun on my skin. Perfect.

1. Faithless – Sun To Me (Faithless Dub)
2. Simian Mobile Disco – Cruel Intentions
3. Basement Jaxx – Raindrops
4. Peaches – I Feel Cream
5. Daft Punk – Around The World

Arcade Fire – No Cars Go
The Avalanches – Since I left you
Jimmy Web – Macarthur Park

OK ok ok… Since the prize is now a hedonistic weekend in Ibiza, here’s my playlist

Synapse splitters (http://open.spotify.com/user/jedhallam/playlist/6VGxAnNk245te2MDlpVzHQ)

Björk – Dull Flame Of Desire – Modeselektor Remix For Boys
Apparat – Holdon – Modeselktor Rmx
Feadz – Lt Replay
Boy 8-Bit – Fog Bank (Jack Beats Remix)
Proxy – Raven
Vitalic – Terminateur Benelux
Joe – Claymore

If anyone can listen to this playlist without dancing, then I give in on the human race…

Title: “My Kind of Music”

Seven songs, something for everyone. Starting with some old school classics, progressing into a selection of dance anthems and finishing with some chilled out beats to watch the sun come up. Can you spot the theme?

1. He’s on the Phone – Saint Etienne
2. Madonna – Hung Up (Tracy Young’s Get Up And Dance Groove Edit)
3. Lady Gaga – Telephone (Alphabeat Remix)
4. Eric Prydz – Call On Me
5. Mario Piu – Communication (Somebody Answer the Phone)
6. Aurora – Hear You Calling
7. (Windows) Moby – 7

Hmm this is difficult… I have no shame over these songs – many are terrible songs that remind me of summer as a kid but they’re definitely dancing tunes.

1) Justice – Stress
2) DJ Format – Ill Culinary Behaviour
3) Marmaduke Dude – Je Suis Un Funky Homme
4) Jamiroquai – Canned Heat
5) Mariachi El Bronx – Cell Mates
6) Metric – Monster Hospital (MSTRKRFT remix)
7) ATB – 9pm (til I come)

So the last song is the guilty summer song.

Never a Blue Monday

This captures amazing memories from holidays, festivals or nights out and dancing my socks off with wonderful friends. A playlist to crank on your mobile and get you dancing up that Tube escalator on what might otherwise be a less than exciting start to the working week…enjoy!

Audacity of Huge – Simian Mobile Disco
You Really Got Me – The Kinks
You Got the Love – The Source & Candi Staton (Original Bootleg Radio Mix)
Bonkers – Dizzee Rascal
Justice vs Simian – We Are Your Friends
(Your Love Keeps Lifting Me) Higher and Higher – Jackie Wilson

So, not sure if this is sensible move. My taste in music is…hmm, eclectic, and at times just plain embarrassing. To win a holiday though, I’m willing to go through the humiliation…
1) Sweet Disposition, The Temper Trap
2) Welcome to the Black Parade, My Chemical Romance
3) Man in the Mirror, Michael Jackson
4) Mr Brightside, The Killers
5) Don’t stop Believing, Journey
6) You’ve got the Love, Florence & the Machine

3) Bon Iver – Flume
4) LCD Soundsystem – Us vs. Them
5) Deee-Lite – Groove is in the Heart
6) Kings of Leon – Red Morning Light
7) Bon Jovi – Livin on a prayer

These songs have the right beats per minute that give you the perfect ‘strut’ time when you plug in and walk…scientific fact.

1. Born Slippy –Underworld
I still dance like crazy with this song, working on my knee caps’ strength!
2. Bongo Bong– Manu Chau
A funky tune from Manu Chau…it kind of makes you smile
3. Disarm – Smashing Pumpkins
Still as powerful as it used to be…
4. Buena Vista Social Club – Candela
It reminds me of my Latin roots and a of the very late Monday night when I watched the film…weird memories huh?
5. Run –Snow Patrol
6. It will be my 1st dance song at my wedding….my fiancé hates the fact that Liona Lewis has made her version more famous that Snow’s…oh well, having a plan B just in case
7. En la Ciudad de la Furia – Soda Stereo
Sadly Gustavo Ceraiti, the Argentine artist and songwriter of this song, is currently in Hospital after suffering a stroke on stage while playing in Caracas, Venezuela. For his powerful energy and amazing music, this song had to be on my top 7!

Something kinda different:

Prince – Cream
Major Lazer – Pon De Floor
Lit – My own worst enemy
The Knack – My Sharona
The Prodigy – Out of space
Yeasayer – One
Echo & the bunnymen – People are strange

There are very different songs, but for me they are gel together and each makes me think of a meaningful person or memory to me. Strange but true.

1) Warren G – Regulate (This is the G-funk era funked out with a gansta twist)
2) Erykah Badu – Master Teacher (because I am)
3) T-Pain – I’m in love with a stripper (This goes out to Lens, Tullet, Haddow, Maca… the list goes on)
4) Roy Ayers – Poo Poo La La (You cannot tell me that I’m not good to go)
5) Oasis – Whatever (ditto)
6) Tupac – Hit em up (Most offensive hip-hop track ever)
7) Marvin Gaye – What’s going on? (Good question)

Title: Old School New

These songs all mean something on a day off – there is that morning track when you are getting up, those afternoon tunes and of course the ones you crank up when heading out!

Love Generation – Bob Sinclar
Every Morning – Sugar Ray
Sex on Fire – Kings of Leon
Even Flow – Pearl Jam
California Love – 2PAC

The Next Episode – Snoop Dogg / Dr Dre

Allure – something inside
andy duguid – wasted
deadmau5 – I remember (vocal mix)

all the songs above mean alot to me and are related to Ibiza.
1+2 are classic vocal Ibiza tunes for me. Hearing tiesto play them in Priviledge was unreal. Truly special.
3+4 are another 2 of my favourite vocal tracks. Neve get sick of hearing them and are proper summer tunes to get u in the mood or a good night on the White isle.
5+6 are true Ibiza classic tunes. Both have been my tune of Ibiza the last few years I have been there. Amazing tunes.
And Fake Blood my last track. Annie Mac dropped this tune as soon as I arrived in amnesia terrace and The memory has always satued with me everytime I hear the track.
energy52 – cafe del mar (out of office remix)
fake blood – mars

Oasis – Champagne Supernova
Damien Rice – The blowers daughter

This playlist has everything you need, what ever mood you’re in, where ever in the world you are.

The thing about a mobile playlist,
that makes it quite perverse,
is that unique ability to describe your universe,
some songs remind of good times,
some of feelings gone cold,
and one will make you realise,
you really are quite old

I’m turning 30 soon, and so I need to smile, give me a nice word My Kind of Phone, about that nice White Isle.

Electric Six – Gay Bar
The Kooks – Naive
We Are Scientists – Let’s See It
Vampire Weekend – A-Punk
Phoenix – 1901

So my list is a bunch of stuff from different parts of my life. I used to listening to the Gorillaz my 2nd year into secondary school back then I actually thought Gorillaz was for real. Blink-182 during the middle of school. Electric Six’s gay bar song for added hilarity for singing during break times. The Kooks because my best friend’s girl friend got the mumps and I got to go to the gig. We Are Scientists because I saw them when I was in six form. Vampire Weekend just reminds me of university. And Phoenix as that’s all I listened to when I was in California for a few months walking down the sunny streets wearing $2 Urban Outfitters sun glasses last year.
