More unpredictably, they also soundtracked the Disney movie Tron: Legacy. They were sampled by Kanye West on ‘Stronger’ appeared fully masked on a surreal GAP advert collaborated with The Weeknd and bagged an Album of the Year award at the 2014 Grammys for 2013’s ‘Random Access Memories’, which featured collaborations with Nile Rodgers and Pharrell Williams. And the Parisian pair soon became world-renowned for their now-iconic displays of anonymity too. Since their 1997 debut album ‘Homework’ spawned instant hits including ‘Around the World’, Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo developed the sound of French house internationally. Here’s last year’s Spring playlist as well if you want a little extra seasonal music.It’s no understatement to say that Daft Punk, who announced their split today, are one of the most influential electronic acts of all time. This is one of the more polished and sophisticated tracks you’ll hear. This track is groovy (and I usually try not to use the word groovy, but it fits here.) The production quality and the mix are insanely good. This is off the most recent album of the critically acclaimed psychedelic rock band, Tame Impala. This one is for people who take their time and enjoy it. It’s very much a chill song that, as its name suggests, is perfect for a day where you sleep in. This has the feel of a MGMT or a Passion Pit song but a little more deliberate and toned down. There are just so many layers to take in on this song. It’s a real steady track with a great beat and more of the kind of dreamy vocals that populate most of this playlist. You almost feel like you’re underwater when you listen to this one. It’s like Daft Punk but with less disco (thankfully). The robot vocals are a little odd at first, but the track is a sneaky kind of catchy where you might not be singing along right away, but it’ll be stuck in your head later. It has a weird charm to it.ĭan Deacon specializes in the electronic and the bizarre. I could just drift off listening to this one. The harmonies and group vocals on this track are delightful. Panda Bear is a bit of an oddball psychedelic band, but that’s exactly what I was looking for for this playlist. The chorus of “feeling good as new” seems appropriate for this time of year. This track flows so well from the last track and it has awesome dreamy vocals to go with its sunny instrumentals. The opening sample in this song is enough reason to put it in any good Spring playlist. It’s just got so many different things going on all at once a beautiful cluster of happy sounds. I had a few of their songs to choose from for this playlist but this one felt the most quintessentially “spring” to me. They have a knack for catchy pop tunes with electronic sensibilities. Enjoy some nonsense lyrics and some fun electronic sounds.Īh, JR JR (formerly Dale Earnheardt Jr.

But I do know that this song is as indie as they get. That almost corny electronic flute sound and those pounding drums somehow work pretty well and give off some serious sunny day vibes. I have no clue what that song title is about. It has a driving beat that makes you want to move and a ridiculously catchy hook. Life on the Nickel – Foster the Peopleįrom the same band that brought you Pumped Up Kicks (that summer song from a few years ago that seemed like it was everywhere for the longest time), this one has some serious percussion to it.

But you can’t hear it without cracking a smile, and everyone could use a good smile.Ģ. This is straight off of AnimalĬollective’s new album from this year.

We’ll start with the weirdest and the most upbeat of the bunch. There are some weird ones in here and after much laboring over the correct track order (I take the flow of playlists very seriously), I give you Springtime Overload. The result is 10 of my favorite dance-y electronic tracks to get you all hyped up for the great weather ahead. Last year, I gave you a playlist for the season, simply titled: “Spring!” This time around I went a little weirder with the song selection to give you as much of those springtime good vibes as possible. Boy, do I have a good one for you this time, folks.
