I know many miss the classic Above and Beyond Club Mix sound, but I kind of like this new direction. The bassline is very nice to say the least. High Five!

I rarely post drum and bass. I just don’t discover them as often as I like, so it’s cool to see A&B expanding their remix horizons to producers outside of the trance genre. High Five!
Above & Beyond Feat Richard Bedford – Thing Called Love (Mat Zo Club Mix) by Mateusz Sosnowski
What excites me more is the remixes that will be coming out of the new Above and Beyond album. The album release is almost here! High Five!
So, the 2 readers or so of this blog is probably wondering “Why was there no post yesterday??”. Yea I dropped the ball, but yesterday was blazing hot and I couldn’t miss the opportunity to take advantage of it.
As soon as work ended, I was in my car with the windows rolled down and the sunroof rolled back. I turned my music loud and suddenly some songs were hitting the right spots. They had that perfect sound for the summer heat. I could have literally driven for hours along the coast and not care about a single thing. Who could ask for a better summer day? So, now I present to you some of the songs that are great to pump in your car with the summer humid wind flowing around.
Freelance Whales – A Great Estate
The Great Estates by blackbirdflyy
When this song came up, I just wanted to lay off the gas pedal and enjoy the scenery that was blasting by me.
Bag Raiders – Shooting Stars

This has a special groove that just puts a smile on my face. And I can’t help but sing along at the end.
Vampire Weekend – Horchata
Vampire Weekend – Horchata by tacking
How can you not like the genius use of percussion in this song? It also helps that this song is crazy fun to sing along to.
Jonsi – Go Do
Go Do – Jonsi by D-Waves
Everything about this track just sends off that happy vibe.
Coldplay – Fix You

Arguably, one of the best builds in a rock song.
Above & Beyond and Kyau & Albert – Anphonic (Arty Mix)
Above & Beyond vs. Kyau & Albert – Anphonic (Arty Remix) by Radio1 Dance blog v4
You know I had to include some trance in here. By far, one of my top ten trance songs for 2010 — and has a great summer vibe to it.
Duderstadt – Stranded in NYC
Another recent trance song that hit the summer chords. Love it.
High Five to all these great musicians for make my summer beach run so nice!
Sorry for trance three times in a row. But I love trance, what can I say. And this is a mash up that just works too perfectly made from the masters of mashing up songs Myon and Shane54. High Five!
Stick through the whole thing and hear a second great mashup:
Above & Beyond and Kyau & Albert vs. Velvetine – Anphonic Safe (Myon and Shane54 Mashup)
Absolutely stunning piece of music from Arty. Great interpretation of the new Above and Beyond track. High Five!
One of the biggest vocal trance classics. Enjoy. High Five!
