Happy Summer guys! Last weekend, I threw a surprise birthday party for Bob at Heirloom LA. It was such a great start to the summer—delicious dinner and great conversation outdoors with friends while celebrating his 35th birthday. Since summer kicks off (officially) today, I thought I'd share the mix I made for his party. It makes me feel like dancing everytime I listen to it. It's a mix of my current favorite jams with a few otehrs from my favorite music decade of all time…the 90's. It's a little cheesy, and a whole lot of fun. Click here to play my Summa Time Party Mix.
Also, please share your favorite summer songs with me. I want to keep adding to this mix for a Super Summa Mega Mix! Have a great weekend all!

Nice list!
For the summer, I’ve been listening to: ‘some place’ by Nick Waterhouse, ‘in the summertime’ by mungo jerry (classic!), and ‘party and bullshit in the USA’ which is a mashup between Miley and B.I.G. And, of course, ‘diane young’ by Vampire Weekend!
Just fun songs that will make you wanna dance 🙂
That’s a fun list, Joy
I’ve been loving these tunes for summer
Artist – Song

Easter Island – Independence

Totally agree with Hannah about Salsbury Hill. Amazing!
I love Romeo & Juliet by Dire Straits.
The paper kites! they are one of my favourite bands – such good summer music, I agree!

Can’t wait to listen to your mix!

I think my favorite 90s jam is No Diggity. Oh, and The Humpty Dance! I love Weezer and anything that was on MTV’s Buzz Bin. Remember that? Now I feel old.
OK, this might be the most terrible suggestion but I hate/love this song from way back when: Boyz In The Hood by Dynamite Hack.
Yay! I love playlists! Thanks for sharing!!!

Ellie Goulding – Lights
Aretha Franklin – Rock Steady (this may go too far back for you 🙂 )
