Jay’s Sounds of 2013

Jay — Fri, 20 Dec 2013 17:11:46 +0000

2013 was a year of nostalgia, for me personally and also in the music that accompanied me throughout, more so than any year I can remember. This year was also my first here at the Most Definitely, which I can’t thank Max and Tim enough for. In putting together my hour-long 2013 year-end playlist, I really tried to focus on this retro-yet-new and exciting feel that embodied the past year. From the ’70s sound of the Preatures; ’80s of Oliver, Holy Ghost! and Wild Nothing; to the ’90s of Cut Copy and Jagwar Ma, it is all there — refreshingly nostalgic, yet freshly new.

Hopefully, this playlist captures the crazy ride that was 2013 and joins the ranks of Tim’s, Max’s, and Jason’s. Give it a listen below and here’s to what 2014 has to offer!

Tim’s Essential Tracks of 2013

So that was 2013 huh? Pretty solid year. I’ve been working on this list all year. Full disclosure, if you’re looking for the obvious “Best of 2013″ list, this is not for you. This is more about the tracks that might have slipped through the cracks, the tracks that never quite got the attention they deserved. Some of them are more obvious than others (read: Daft Punk). While others, need to be heard (read: Streets of Laredo).

How do you boil down a year to 15 songs? In my case, you don’t. You make a soundcloud best of and a Spotify Best of list. We had a banner year personally, professionally and musically. A lot of firsts that I am extremely thankful for. Rather than sit here and wax poetic on what was definitely the best year of my life, why don’t you just sit back and listen to these tunes that helped make 2013 so special?

And then I made a totally different Spotify playlist so you got hours of music to listen to.

TMD Labor Day All Day Mixtape

I’m feeling all kinds of sexy right now. I just can’t shake this deep house I got going through my veins. I’m going off the deep house deep end. Never have I been in so deep. And never have I loved it so much. So, this isn’t actually our monthly mixtape. This is an extra special mixtape that I just had to share with you before your weekend hits. This makes me want to turn it out. You should probably not listen to this at work, cause it’s game over once you do. Put it on when it’s the other kind of business time. Enjoy. This, like many before it, is my favorite mixtape I have ever made.

Dan Croll – In/Out

There is nothing that can improve your day quite like a Dan Croll tune. The first ten seconds are enough to hook you in. Somehow, listening to this song makes me crave ice cream. Okay, this is a tangent, but what if the ice cream truck music was this song?? It would totally work! Kids and adults alike, dancing in the streets with ice cream smeared everywhere… SO GOOD. I’ve just written the script for this song’s music video. You’re welcome, Dan.

Dan Croll – Compliment Your Soul

Dan Croll. Doing it right. I love the vibe of this tune. It’s just perfect for this time of year. We’ve got spring peaking her head out from behind winter and almost ready to come out for good. There’s so much waiting in the wings. Summer, dance parties, life is about to go full bloom. And this song captures that perfect time, when everything is about to go right.
