A seemingly endless amount of songs seem to have been penned as odes to summer – from Thirsty Merc to Olivia Newton-John to Kool & The Gang – so it often feels like music and the warmer months are inextricably tied together. They’re like meat pies and tomato sauce, or Aperol paired with Prosecco: they belong together.
While we’re fast approaching the end of summer, rummaging in our drawers for a comfy cardi and retiring our bikinis, there’s still a few hours days of dying light to enjoy before the cold chill floods in.
So while thinking about the Chinese finger trap that is hot weather and bangin’ tunes, we thought we’d ask one of our fave purveyors of dirty house beats, DJ Alice Quiddington to curate our last summer Sunday sesh.
Keep reading for her top summer hotspots: for good eats, for a few cold frothies, and for a chill by the ocean.
