katya-oddio: Sound of Summer

Mix Info

Songs for a Summer Backyard Party

Cricket and bird songs, ice clinking in glasses, block parties, kids in the sprinkler, ice cream truck jingles, wind against paper kites, "cloop" sounds in the creek, bicycle chains, and all those other musical sounds of summer have their places in our hearts. There is still space for new sounds of summer days, and the Free Music Archive is here for your summer soundtrack. Here's one I put together for a summer evening party featuring 18 tracks across the spectrum of genres. Let's hear yours!

Wonderful mix of tunes. Didn't even know that Mia Doi Todd recorded WFMU studio sessions. And this is why I love this archive: you learn something new every day...
