Every summer for the past 15 years, I have been visiting Falmouth, MA on Cape Cod with Kate and her extended family. Lots has changed in that time, but one constant is the harbor jetty we can reach at the end of our road. Many hours fishing, watching boats, swimming, laughs, all the good things of summer. I am here again right now after a one year hiatus and took this photo just a few days ago. There are a handful of places that feel like “home” in the world, and this place fits right in the middle of that palm. This mix has come together over the last month or so, sounds that feel like a backyard cookout after a day at the beach. Slightly sunburned, a little buzz, laughter in the air, sandy feet. I hope there is one for everyone on here, and that you all get to your place this summer.

Heard about these guys from their disco jam "Keep Moving." This is a way different vibe, another wicked falsetto. The production is excellent.
More Info from Last.FM

Jungle was formed at the beginning of 2013, choosing to put an aesthetic emphasis on the music’s surrounding artwork and videos, and not on the pairs' own identity, (McFarland and Lloyd-Watson came to be known as J and T).

To perform the music live, Jungle expanded to a seven-piece band, fronted by J and T. Read more on Last.fm. more...
