Neon lights, Red Bull vodkas, stilettos, and a packed dance floor somewhere in Miami circa 2007. The bass is bumpin, the lights are flashing, the drinks are flowing, and nobody’s ready to call it a night. J.Lo, Rihanna, T-Pain, Missy, Kelis, and all the club anthems that made getting dressed up and dancing until 3am feel like a personality trait 💋💃🏼

◆ left917 This would be an epic throwback dance party playlist

Bass heavy car rides. Lights low. Bass up. Dance like you’re somewhere with a ridiculous sound system and a strobe light. It’s that music that hits that little spot in your chest.. All hail bass music!!!🔊🙌🏼

The era of screamo, scene kid hair, boys in girls skinny jeans, MySpace layouts, warped tour summers, basement shows, and lyrics that somehow felt like they were written specifically about your life. A little trip back to the early 2000s emo/hardcore/screamo era. Underoath, Chiodos, From First to Last, Circa Survive, Brand New, A Day to Remember, Hawthorne Heights and all the beautifully angsty chaos in between.

Crunk, trunk rattle, oversized jerseys, club anthems and enough bass to make your rearview mirror useless. Ludacris, Three 6 Mafia, Outkast, Big Tymers, Yung Joc, UNK, Waka, Pitbull and every song that made you think you could actually dance. The 2000s South was loud, ridiculous, and absolutely undefeated.

◆ left917 Ludacris to Waka in one breath and not a single apology in between. This is the loudest, most undefeated stretch of Southern rap and @dancinganyways knows it. Roll the windows down before you press play, your speakers won't survive otherwise.

Three minutes. No filler. Dead Poet Society builds this one like a slow burn then lets it go. Quiet tension up top, full release by the end. Rock that still knows how to hit. If you like the heavier stuff this belongs on your list. Run it back twice before your coffee’s done. You won’t know if you’re pumped or angry. You chose.

When the dance floor fades into headlights. A dreamy collection of synthwave, cinematic electronica, and late-night dopamine for the ones who never want the night to end 🌙

◆ left917 Ten years ago this month, Stranger Things showed up and Kyle Dixon and Michael Stein's Volume 1 followed it out the door. I didn't know it then, but that's where this started. Not the neon stuff. Not the 80s synth pop revival everybody grabbed onto. The other side of the machine. Thematic, spooky, patient, the kind of thing John Carpenter has been doing since he scored his own movies because nobody else would. Ten years in and I'm still chasing it. Expect more of it here, regularly.

A collection of songs for the beautiful darker side of ourselves. Deep electronic pulses, hypnotic synths, heavy bass lines, and emotional melodies that hit somewhere between euphoria and melancholy. The kind of tracks that make you want to dance harder while feeling everything DEEPER. It’s the sound of midnight drives, underground clubs, old memories, and the moment when the lights go down and the world disappears. A little dark, a little dramatic. For the times when you feel a little heavy… and dance anyway.

If you know, you know. Between 2004 and 2011, indie dance nights were truly special. Tiny dark clubs, sticky floors, flashing lights, and DJs playing songs that somehow made everyone in the room lose their minds. This playlist is a trip back to that era.. the tracks that filled dance floors, introduced us to our favorite bands, and made us feel like we were part of something real.

◆ left917 Are you kidding me? @dancinganyways bottled the smell of PBR and American Spirits into a playlist that feels like hearing Wolf Like Me for the first time. If you were there, this nostalgia sits right down beside you. If you weren't, you'll wish you had been. Give it a spin.

A love letter to Fourth of July. Classic rock echoing across the yard, the smell of charcoal in the air, sparklers, cold drinks, hot dogs, faded denim, and bare feet in the grass. Press play, turn it up, and let the music take care of the rest. Now someone hand me a beer!

All my FAVE heavy bass electronic tracks in one place. Turn the bass all the way up and viiiiibe.

A little soundtrack for summer. Made for river floats, mountain drives, campfires, and golden hours. Every song was handpicked- no algorithm, just years of collecting the tracks that always seem to find the right moment.

Was waiting for this to drop!
