1. Our undisputed family favourite song now is Flight Facilities "Crave You" and I've included the Go Pro video that got us so hooked. We all love dubstep. Well maybe not Tyler so much. He's so old school.
2. Every summer playlist has to have at least one Calvin Harris song: Summer to get you up in the morning.
3. Lloyd's "Get it Shawty' is great music but a good reason to send the boys to a boarding school in the middle of the Drakensburg and as far away from Los Angeles as possible.
4. We all need a little steel pan and island fantasy: Duke Dumont I Got U . No doubt this will be played on rotation at the 'Soggy Dollar' this summer.
5. Some R & B from Wale: Love Hate Thing. It has an explicit warning, but then most R & B music does these days. Love the fact that Emimem is now worried about his daughter dating chaps that grew up on his music. Hubris.
6. Breezy, "everyone's happy" summer soul - Claptone: No Eyes
7. Have to have some reggae: We love Damian Marley so these are our two classic favourites: Affairs of the Heart and Road to Zion.
8. This is wonderful: Madcon "Beggin". Mowtown crossed with Daft Punk.
9. Gorgon City is also fun with "Ready for your Love" .
10. We all love The XX. It's a bit gloomy, but as a former Cocteau Twin/ Portishead fan, we sometimes need to be reminded of where we come from, don't we?
11. Mr Probz's 'Waves' looks like it was shot in Virgin Gorda. He gets stranded on a tropical island but never fear, we know that there will be a beach bar playing Avicii and a cell phone tower just around the corner.
12. Finishing up with some Lana Del Rey even if it's not the most sunny of songs: Summertime Sadness.
