Sounds of the Summer

In this annual ongoing series, we craft a playlist that captures the essence of summer. Perfect for those long, balmy summer stints so you can hit peak creativity. Or, for those moments either pre- or post-dancefloor, dancing on a balcony, or just chilling with friends. These are the soundtracks to your summer.

Sounds of the Summer 2024

In our third annual instalment of Sounds of the Summer, we wanted to recreate that serendipitous summer house party vibe. You know the one, where a mate suggests meeting up, you all um and ah for a while, and then, miraculously, you all end up on their balcony dancing the afternoon away, while the rays beat down, the laughter never ends, and there’s a feeling in the air that you wish would live with you forever.

Sounds of the Summer 2023

The Summer of 2023 was Umlaut's Berlin Showdown. We threw open the windows of our Berlin studio and cranked up the beats. It was one of those long summers that was gone in a flash. When that happens, you know it was a winner. This playlist is a tribute to that summer. Influenced by the city’s disco renaissance, this playlist is full of anthemic tracks that fill your soul, make you want to move, and inspire a gazillion ideas. Absolutely perfect for when you need to sweat the detail or kick off something new. And, of course, also stunning for those hazy weekends in Kreuzberg, dancing in the afternoon sun and through to the earlies. We'll see you there.
