Comment:

When visions of suntans and volleyball nets start dancing in your head, and you set your sights on the beach for a summertime celebration, don't forget to pack the tracks guaranteed to get the beach party started. Even if you're too busy to soak up the sun, surf, and sand you're longing for, these bathing-suit beats are full of so much solar power you'll feel like you need to slap on some suntan lotion just sitting in front of your desk lamp. From burning-down-the-house dance grooves — like DT8 Project's "Sun Is Shining (Down On Me) — to mellow moods for an ocean-side chill-out session (Air's "Surfing on a Rocket"), these are the sounds of the summer, custom-made for everything from kicking back and relaxing to kicking up some sand for a little hot-stepping beach boogie.
