Four days until the window closes on spring and everyone pretends they were a house music person all along. Before festival season swallows the conversation whole, here are the tracks that landed right as the weather stopped being a personal attack. No preamble, no Coldplay.
1. Jungle - Carry On
Jungle announced a whole album called Sunshine (out in August, mark it) and dropped “Carry On” as the first taste. It sounds exactly like the weather turning — warm, unhurried, like the city collectively exhaling after five months of grey. No notes.
2. SOFI TUKKER - BOBA
SOFI TUKKER have a gift for turning nonsense premises into tracks you can’t stop moving to. “BOBA” runs on a bassline that needs no explanation and synths that feel like the first genuinely hot afternoon of the year. Built for a pool, not a club.
3. Peggy Gou - D.A.N.C.E.
This came out on the F1 soundtrack, which is not the most dignified origin story, but the track doesn’t care. “D.A.N.C.E.” is slinky and bouncy in the way Peggy Gou does better than basically everyone else right now. Sounds better with car windows down than it ever did in a cinema.
4. Disclosure feat. Anderson .Paak - NO CAP
Disclosure and Anderson .Paak in a room together should be predictable by now. It still isn’t. “NO CAP” dropped in August and landed like a floor filler that knows exactly what it is — just a very good dance track, no apologies. Still in rotation.
5. LP Giobbi & House Gospel Choir - Figure It Out
Piano house with a full gospel choir has no business being this effective in May. And yet. “Figure It Out” builds slowly and pays off every single time — the kind of track that earns the big moment instead of just announcing it.
See you on the other side of festival season.
