claap! & santana – “summertime” (yuksek remix)

bouncier and housier grooves than my last recommended summer tunes this time courtesy of yuksek’s funked-up, golden-sunshine-tinged re-versioning of claap! & santana’s “summertime”.

opening with tumbling toms, claps on two and four, cricket-like percussive chirrup, and a generously hovering and enticing hi-hat, it evokes the summer from the get-go, well before the breezily laid-back “summertime” vocal and fatly-funked bass arrive.

this is a delightfully french affair, both stylistically and linguistically, and yuksek’s rising keys quickly transport you to the shimmering azure seas and hot white sands of the atlantic or mediterranean with their too-fast-melting ice creams and oh-so-bronze tans. it’s light and relaxing, refreshing and recuperative, and deliciously head-nodding and life-affirming.

but the thing i probably like most about it is the thought of my shade-donning, short-sporting, summertime aficionado, christoph, and his infectious grin at these laid-back, balearic summer vibes. such beats tend to bring happy enthusiasm and uplifting joy, so i thought i’d take this opportunity to share another couple of sunshine classics in the form of john talabot and delorean performing “sunshine” and caribou’s “sun” courtesy of playground and ebtv respectively. it’s quite special to see such passionate collectives getting so into the connected swing of these addictive, arpeggiated summer grooves – both are simply scintillating.

you can enjoy claap! & santana’s original version of “summertime” as part of their far more horizontal, chilled out and sumptuous dune ep here, meanwhile, yuksek’s clearly one for the sunshine, no matter the year, and if you’re craving yet more of his summer grooves post “summertime”, here’s last year’s summer tape 16 for your extended listening pleasure - keep cool and enjoy!
