Friends and Moon Safari are both right up there, the latter reminding me of a boiling hot day in Calais when I hopped over the Channel in my Citroen ZX and ended up forgetting what side of the road to drive on.

Instantly springing to mind:

Nuyorican Soul by Nuyorican Soul

Jams galore, including amazing cover of the Rotary Connection's "I Am The Black Gold Of The Sun" as well as blissful Roy Ayres and George Benson numbers. Warmly (pardon the pun) recommended

Destroy Rock & Roll by Mylo

for "Sunworshipper" if nothing else

The Keyboard King At Studio One by Jackie Mittoo

bloody hipsters

I'd probably chuck Jorge Ben's Forca Bruta in there too. Oh, and some Yacht Rock. Handy when you're stuck in the queue trying on get on the chain ferry between Sandbanks and Swanage.

I don't think there's ever been a seasonal influence on what I listen to.

Can't really think of a single album I do more in the summertime.

Whenever I go to the parks to chill there's often someone blasting more modern reggae (it doesn't typically feel well curated, rather a reggae radio/playlist on spotify or something. It typically sets the mood decent and all.

I suppose this song does come to mind and I suppose the more I think of it, soul/funk feels just right for the energy of summer:

Something like this too screams summer:

They don't even have to be summery in content.
