Bonobo – aka Simon Green – is one of the most revered artists in the dance sphere, and with such a catalogue, it’s easy to see why. But the one we want echoing in the beer gardens, is a number possibly many may not have heard of. ‘Dial ‘M’ for Monkey’ released in 2003, was the second studio album of his and features Green at his most experimental, cutting his teeth and fusing together bursts of creativity. Hypnotic electronics lined with infectious beats, it is a perfect accompaniment to that beaming star in the sky.

Global grooves reminiscent of an Arabian jazz cafe sat idle on the craters of her neighbouring moon, The Polyversal Souls self-titled in 2015 is a thing of magnificence. Eclipsing all sudanese jazz, soul and funk, this little number from this German-Ghanaian band is an unfamiliar gem to many. But to the familiar, it’s a hazy paradise of idyllic sounds perfect for outside activities.

The Britpop eighth record slides sweetly within their discography and ambles delightfully as the last embers of the sun soak a city. A feel-good doozy that’s both familiar and musically original, it’s an open, laid-back record with full of fun fancies.

This gargantuan top contender of greatest albums of all time is not one to be sniffed at here. A guiding protege of alternative musings at the highest peak, In Rainbows is befitting for any occasion. In this case, it’s a sunny weekend.

Arguably their most prolific, Glass Animals come out swinging with How to be a Human Being. Everyone remembers Heat Waves but this record isn’t merely a one-hit wonder – it’s a sun-drenched indie-pop engorging asTake a Slice, Youth and The Other side of Paradise all hit a spot.
