Welcome to our latest playlist, this week put together by Bristol’s Bedmo Disco crew.

Check out their summer selection below, plus a few words on each choice…

Maze - Joy & Pain (Live)

Everyone loves a good afternoon sing-along in the sunshine, and this live version of the Maze favourite - complete with an extended “I like sunshine and rain” refrain - has been a staple in our sets for years.

A Tribe Called Quest - Award Tour

A head-nodding, laidback hip-hop classic. Grab a glass of something cold and get your groove on.

Souls of Mischief - ’93 To Infinity

The most summery hip-hop jam we can think of. Classic hip-hop always goes down well.

MC Serch feat. Nasty Nas, O.C, Chubb Rock & Red Hot Lover Tone - Back To The Grill (Remix)

We occasionally disagree about records. Not this one. It never fails to get people going.

Marcos Valle - Estrelar

Quite possibly the most effortlessly summery record ever made.

Awon & Bedmo Disco - Check It Out

Shameless self-promotion alert! A chunk of sun kissed synth boogie from our Product of Bedminster EP.

Central Line - Walking Into Sunshine

Lyrically, this Larry Levan remixed eighties boogie classic is tailor-made for festivals.

Young & Company - I Like What You’re Doing To Me

If you’re after a soulful disco sing-along, look no further.

Jack J - Thirstin’

Every year, there’s at least one house track that dominates the festival season. If there’s any justice, this year it should be this chunk of hazy, delay-laden summer bliss from Pender Street Steppers man Jack Jutson.

The Gene Dudley Group - Inspector Norse

Todd Terje’s nu-disco classic gets re-invented as a chunk of spiralling summer funk, by the Wah Wah 45s signed Gene Dudley Group.

ELO - Last Train To London

Always finish on a high - or at least with something that drunken, smiling people can sing along to.
