Bargrooves’ re-launch earlier this year proved to be a huge success with Bar Anthems currently riding high in both the physical and digital compilation charts. Summer Sessions is set to follow suit offering the perfect 3 disc package covering all your summer season listening needs. A disc perfectly tailored to suit the different moods of the Summer vactional escapades: Beachside, Pre Bar and After-hours. Summer is slowly creeping upon us with the Ibiza season round the corner. Laid back attitude and sun-drenched grooves is the order of the day with a cocktail in hand and sarongs in tow. Following hot on the footsteps of Bar Anthems, Bargrooves Summer Sessions is all about deep soulful luscious house with a hint of Latin and afro, a good dose of Balearic classics and an injection Nu Yorican grooves. Kicking off nice and breezy with ‘Beachside’, featuring classics such as Dubtribe Soundsystem’s ‘This is The Time’ and Isolee’s ‘Beau Mont Plage’ alongside brand new favourites Marcus Worgull (‘Spellbound’) and one of the most understated records of the year by Hercules and Love Affair (‘Blind’). Moving on from the beach for late afternoon cocktails, ‘Pre Bar’ picks things up a notch and starts the party vibe. Funky, percussive house with Latin and afro elements sets the mood with Junior Jacks’ ‘See You Dancin’ and Danny Marquez’s & Tuccillo’s ‘Mumba’. The shimmering soulful vocals of Divinti’s on Shuya Okino’s ‘Shine’ are followed by stone cold classics such as Soul Vision’s ‘Come Into My Room’ alongside future cuts by Copyright (‘Deeper’) and Teddy Douglas (‘Watcha Gonna Do’). Setting the night up perfectly with 2 classics from 2 inspirational cities Black Science Orchestra’s ‘New Jersey Deep’ and New York’s seminal sing-a-long ‘Love & Happiness’. Maintaining the up-tempo vibe, ‘Afterhours’ sets deep into the night and kisses the sun goodbye with the Balearic vibes of Shapeshifter’s ‘Chimes’ and Mark Knights’ & Funkagenda’s re-make of Laurent Garnier’s ‘Man With The Red Face’ alongside Kenny Dope’s fresh take of the Strictly Rhythm classic ‘Reach’ by Lil’ Mo Yin Yang Get yourself a drink from the bar and listen to the day blissfully set into into the night time madness. The soundtrack to your summer starts here!
