Easy Life Rooftop Beats


This is what the chaps from Air France probably looked like whilst discussing the blueprints of their splendid 2k8 rooftop mix - cool and confident, with well-pressed slacks and Julies waiting on the wing. While they haven't dropped anything new for this summer (yet), feel free to continue celebrating a few of last year's individual highlights. Just don't be fooled by Treasure Fingers - most of this mix is REALLY CHILL. Like "donking out in the sun after a plate of hand-battered Honey Chiptole Chicken Crispers® from Chili's" chill.

Orpheus - Can't Find The Time
Quiet Village - Victoria's Secret
Ashra - Don't Stop The Fan
Saint Etienne - Avenue
Treasure Fingers- Cross The Dancefloor
Prefab Sprout - Cars And Girls
Hugo Montenegro - Greatest Love Of All
Happy Mondays - Hallelujah (Club Mix)
Aeroplane - Pacific Air Race
The Main Attraction - Everyday








Air France Rooftop Mix (43 MB)

Although the last track is easily the best (and Avalanches fans should read more about that one here), Prefab Sprout's 1987 uberweak Cars and Girls is getting a lot of air time for some reason. Not sure why. It's pretty much the exact opposite of a "highly bloggable" track by today's standards - and even cornier than the Perfect Strangers theme - yet I keep coming back, first post-ironically and now for serious.
