60 songs to keep you cool all summer long

The weather's warmed, the grass has greened and the air pushing through NYC's grid is laced with the must of blunt smoke and body sweat. All of which signals the summer's arrival. And we've got just the thing to keep you cool as the thermometer ticks up.

Compiling summer scores is requisite for us here at HQ: low-end resonance for those couch-locked nights, disco thumps for your poolside days, reverbed-to-death dub and tropicalia to accompany your beach retreats and rooftop weekend BBQs. There are so many moments to score, and for the first time in a long while, enough notes to fill the space between.  It's become something of a ritual round these parts, and seeing as how we've officially begun our summer program, Okayplayer is proud to present the 2017 edition of our Songs of Summer series. With new sounds from some of the year's hottest (and coldest) releases -- including Kaytranada, Thundercat, Frank Ocean, GoldLink, Sango, Little Dragon, Gucci Mane and so many more -- this here is all you'll need for your summer sojourn, wherever it may take you.
