Different-sounding songs – I dig em. Newcomer Claudia Bouvette delivers in spades.

#4. wtr – I Think I Love It

Such a great use of a now-famous sample (taken from Noah Slee +  Shiloh Dynasty in DGAF… now if they sampled it from somewhere then that’s too far down the sample train for me to ride).

#2. Martin Garrix Feat. Macklemore & Patrick Stump – Summer Days

I knew the second I saw this lineup that we’d already have our anthem for summer. It’s almost too easy that I don’t want to like it… but goddamn is it ever catchy. Also who doesn’t get at least a little nostalgic anytime Patrick Stump starts belting one out.

#1. Kyan – Like Summer (Colors Version)

I’ve featured this before… but it wasn’t until last week that I discovered the Colors version and it’s well worth a repost. This track is both brilliant and gorgeous. It’s easily moved it’s way into my top 10 songs of the past couple years.
