Curate the Perfect Pool Party: 5 House Anthems to Set the Party

Now that the weather is (finally) cooling off, it’s the perfect time for a pool party—and nothing sets the vibe better than a great playlist. The right music can make or break the mood, and curating the perfect playlist is an art form. There’s no one-size-fits-all solution, as the best playlist depends on what your guests are into. Since it’s still pretty warm out, I want to showcase fivehouse tracks that will get your pool party feeling like a full-blown concert!

“Frikitona” by Andruss

This song is an absolute banger—even if you don’t speak Spanish. It has an infectious beat, with Spanish lyrics that flow perfectly with the rhythm. The creative drum patterns pull everything together, and when the track opens up into the drop, the catchy bassline is guaranteed to get the whole party moving and grooving.

“On My Mind – Sidepiece VIP” by Diplo, Sidepiece

This VIP mix is one for the books. It kicks off with the now-iconic lyrics from the original, paired with a subtle yet groovy rhythm. The drop comes in unexpectedly, with a spacey, downward-inflecting bass note that’s sure to catch the crowd off guard. Then, the beat transitions into a fun, bouncy house drop that will have everyone on their feet.

“girl$” by Dom Dolla

One of the hottest tracks this summer, “girl$” is a pool party essential. The lyrics are catchy and simple enough for everyone to sing along. When the drop hits, it’s easy to see why this song has been so popular. The deep, thumping beat and high-pitched counter melody create a dark, club-like atmosphere that’ll have everyone dancing—even the bassheads.

“Magnet” by Gryffin, Disco Lines, Max

Gryffin’s latest album shows a new side of his artistry, and “Magnet” is a perfect example of that evolution. The song features incredible vocals that are easy to sing along to. The bassline in the drop flutters with a stutter-house vibe, but with Gryffin’s signature twist, adding texture and energy to the track.

“Run It” by MPH

This track is a must for any playlist and a perfect way to wrap up this blog. It’s creative and brain-tickling, even within the framework of a house song. The buildup is meticulously crafted, building tension perfectly. When the drop hits, sharp yet smooth beats ripple over the bassline, creating an almost otherworldly texture. Although it’s a lesser-known track, it’s a hidden gem that deserves a spot in your rotation.

While pool party season might only last for a couple more months, we’re in luck—Dom Dolla is set to perform at Decadence this NYE, where you can catch “girl$” live. Don’t miss out—get your tickets here!
