CHILL VIBES // #CHEEKYBEATS

This is my go to playlist to chill out. After a hard day of uni, while I study, if I'm having trouble sleeping, this playlist helps me to relax and concentrate without distracting me with heavy bass drops or sick guitar riffs. Honourable mentions in this category go to Pumped up Kicks - Foster The People, Picture Frames - Georgia Fair and No Diggity - Thrift Shop - Ed Sheeran and Passenger. All three songs have the greatest guitar sounds and are great to chill out to. Fireflies by Owl City is a great song to fall asleep to because of his relaxing electronica vibe. The song I've got on repeat is Chvrches cover of Arctic Monkey's Do I Wanna Know?

POP-PUNK // #CHEEKYBEATS

This playlist really takes me back to my childhood years. This was the first genre of music I really loved. Good Charlotte was my first concert and Green Day's American Idiot was my very first album. This playlist has a great mix of old school punk rock as well as some new stuff. Some of my favourites in the list are Dammit - blink 182, Holiday - Green Day and The Anthem - Good Charlotte. For me, those songs make e really nostalgic of the early 2000s punk rock. Teenage Dirtbag by Wheatus is an absolute classic and probably one of my all time favourite songs. This is a real teen angsty playlist, so lock your doors, put your headphones on, turn up volume and rock out to these in your bedroom!

AUSSIE ARTISTS // # CHEEKYBEATS

I thought I should give some love to our homegrown artists. Australia have produced some of my absolute all time favourite bands and singers. Not only are they massive down under, but they're also making it huge internationally. Most honourable mention goes to Perth boy Troye Sivan. After starring in the Spud movies with John Cleese, gaining over 1 million subscribers on his YouTube channel, and just releasing his debut EP TRXYE, he is killing it! I chose my favourite song from the EP, Fun but his whole album is amazing! Another mention to probably my favourite Australian band, San Cisco. They have a really funk, folky sort of vibe which I really dig and their cover of Daft Punk's Get Lucky is no different. The song that I have on constant repeat currently is Contact High by Architecture in Helsinki.

PARTY BEATS // #CHEEKYBEATS

After recently turning 18, I've been getting more and more into dance music and electronica. It's also great because summer is coming up and there's nothing better than a nice hot summer night party with your friends, play some music to get everybody up and dancing. A clear winner in this playlist is Kanye by The Chainsmokers. Their hit song Selfie threw them into the limelight and they have been delivering ever since. Amazing Aussie DJ, Flume appears twice in this list with his hit song Holdin' On and his remix of Lorde's Tennis Court. Another track by Aussie DJs Peking Duk is High. I love this song because of it's amazing electro dance beats and it's crazy weird music video. Enjoy!

HIP-HOP & RAP // #CHEEKYBEATS

Hey guys! It's time for my favourite hip-hop/ & rap tracks that I've been listening to on repeat! There's a real mix of old school hip hop and rap as well as some new stuff from 2014. Some honourable mentions go to Drop It Like It's Hot by Snoop Dogg (ft. Pharrell) and Roses by OutKast for being absolute classics and no matter when or where, they're always guaranteed to get people up and dancing. A big shout out to my favourite rapper Kanye West who makes an appearance three times in this playlist. Everything he does is incredible and this playlist features some great collaborations with Jay Z, Rick Ross & Nicki Minaj. I've also recently discovered Hoodie Allen and Childish Gambino and am slowly falling in love with their music and lyrics. Definitely two rappers to look out for!
