TIEKS Puts Together Your Ultimate (End Of) Summer Playlist

15 October 2015 / 16:12

The cold chill of winter may be arrivingand the Christmas decorations may already be going up (no, really) but that's not stopped London producer/songwriter TIEKS dropping his latest jam 'Sunshine' featuring newcomer Dan Harkna on us.

In honour of the release, the 'Sing That Song' producer has picked out some tunes to herald the end of the long, hot summer. And with writing and production credits for Florence + The Machine, Duke Dumont, Jess Glynne and more, you know they're going to be good...

Roy Ayers - 'Sunshine'

"This song has always given me the feeling of being next to an open fire hydrant outside a red brick, three story town house somewhere in Jamaica Queens, NY. It feels like summer in New York to me."

Travis Scott - 'Antidote'

"It's (supposed to be) hot in the summer but when the antidote is flowing inside, opening the window is gonna waste it. This track is a dream."

TIEKS - 'Sunshine'

"My own track. Less about summer, and more about nature and giving reverence to it. I'm African. I worship the sun by default."

Skepta - 'Shutdown'

"The track that murdered the festivals this summer - 'Shutdown'. The name couldn't be more appropriate. The last time I played it some one actually had a seizure. And the show actually got shut down for 30 mins."

Drake - 'Hotline Bling'

"I feel like Drake is referencing Shuggie Otis "Uht uh mi Hed" on this track. For me. It's the late night booty call anthem."

Martin Solveig & GTA - 'Intoxicated'

"Another track I've been playing all festival season."

Stardust - 'Music Sounds Better With You'

"As far as dance music goes this track is eternally summer, eternally autumn, eternally winter. It's just Eternal. One of the greatest club tracks ever made. I try and play it every set."

Mickey Lightfoot - 'Ashanti Bitxh'

"Mickey is a new producer I've come across making some next level stuff. This instrumental landed on Soundcloud over the summer. Sounds like a dream."
