As Arizona starts to heat up, it’s the perfect time to dig out those pool floaties and swimsuits for what promises to be an epic summer! Amidst all the excitement, what I’m most looking forward to are the summer pool time playlists that set the tone for the entire season. The beauty of a summer pool time playlist lies in its background presence, allowing for creative inclusion of niche genres to enhance the vibe. Here are five staples for this upcoming pool season that I’m eager to share—I hope you find something you enjoy!
“Falling” by Louis the Child, NJOMZA, Daniel Allen
Louis the Child’s latest offering calls back to their future bass roots, and fans of their earlier style will love this track. With a simple yet catchy beat and clever use of future bass synths, it creates a wave-like effect that’s perfect for poolside splashing!
“Substitution” by Purple Disco Machine, Kungs, Julian Perretta
The reigning king of Disco House delivers once again with this track—an absolute must for any summer playlist. With infectious beats that even bass heads will appreciate, Purple Disco Machine gradually builds layer upon layer, culminating in a groovy dance tune that sets the perfect pool party vibe.
“Not Even Love” by Seven Lions, Illenium, ASDIS
While this might be the most popular song on the list, it’s a banger that I couldn’t leave out. The dream collaboration between Seven Lions and Illenium hits all the right notes, with a progressive house first drop followed by melodic bass elements in the second, and a closing stutter house drop that’s sure to become a household favorite.
“Rainbow Funk” by Ahee, Probcause
Pool parties are ideal for sneaking in niche genres, and this track is a prime example. With Probcause’s captivating vocals and flow blending seamlessly with Ahee’s unique drops, particularly the third one featuring a mix of funk and mind-melting space bass, this song will elevate the party atmosphere.
“Front to Back” by Levity
Riding a wave of success, Levity delivers another smash hit with their latest offering. While rooted in space bass, it’s incredibly catchy and a must-listen for any EDM enthusiast. With diluted future bass synths providing power without an edge, it’s guaranteed to be a showstopper at any pool party!
