Whether you were celebrating the bank holiday weekend in the UK or Memorial Day Weekend in the US, chances are you were looking for the perfect summer playlist?

Well, Vulture asked Diplo to put together a Summer BBQ playlist and the Major Lazer frontman did not disappoint, he came through with a 102-song strong playlist full of all your favourites like…

Disclosure, Rhye, Solange, Daft Punk, SBTRKT, Miguel, Grimes, Lana Del Rey, A-Trak, Laura Mvula, Ryan Hemsworth, Bobby Tank, Kendrick Lamar, Pusha T, James Blake, Vampire Weekend, Duke Dumont, Cyril Hahn, Danny Brown (takes breath), Snoop Lion, Dillon Francis, Blood Orange, No Doubt, Major Lazer, Sango and more.

So if you wanna keep that summer vibe going through the monday-friday grind, have a listen… and hey, it’s only 4 days til the next weekend!

This is kind of perfect for this morning. Its also kind of perfect for late nights too. Its low-key and quiet but hits all the right places with a funky house beat and soulful vocals from these three Sydney boys.

Here’s ITYLTS’ Best of March for you.

And while it was a good month, sadly it also marks the split of Girls Aloud, which I’ve taken hard. So as a bonus track I’ve got you a lovely little megamix of their brand of pitch perfect pop. RIP.

Magic Man- “Paris”

AlunaGeorge- “I Wanna Be Like You (The Jungle Book Cover)”

Shadows On Stars- “Little Bit (Lykke Li Cover)”

Vance Joy- “Rip Tide”

She & Him- “Never Wanted Your Love”

The Rubens- “Lay It Down”

Laura Marling- “Where Can I Go”

Seasfire- “Crushing Abyss”

MKS- “Lay Down in Swimming Pools (Kendrick Lamar Cover)”

James Blake- “Digital Lion”

+BONUS TRACK+

Girls Aloud Mega Mix.

Now it took me a long time to post up on “Retrograde”, I mean if you scroll down maybe only two posts you can see it, that’s how late I was on that. So I’m making it up to you with this one which is only a day old, “Digital Lion”. Now this is going to sound silly, but I really like the melancholy mournfulness on THIS one (yes, I know that is kind of Blake’s baseline) but I love how it intersperses with the Bon Iver esque vocals and the kind of hectic beat that underlines it.

Apologies for the sleep, and you’ve probably heard it somewhere else already but here’s James Blake’s “Retrograde” from his upcoming follow up album.

“Retrograde” is from the upcoming album Overgrown due April 8th.

In a way Bon Iver and James Blake seem like a logical collaboration, especially with Bon Iver’s experimentation on the Blood Bank EP, but then again it also feels a little bit out of the blue. This will take a few listens before it clicks, but if you like James Blake and you like what Bon Iver did with Woods, you’ll probably be able to wrap your ears around Fall Creek Boys Choir. Hints are that it will be released on itunes next week.
