King Tuts Summer Nights 2018

Our annual summer fortnight of living in King Tuts has returned. King Tut’s Summer Nights is back and below are our favourite picks from the 2-week long line up.

Starting off with a band you all know we love - Vistas. We can skip the formalities because you know 
how we feel. Having featured in our new music playlists, countless blog posts and even in our student 
radio show, you could say we like this band just a little.

Our Spotify Summer Rewind

Last summer was pretty special for us. Working at some of our best-loved festivals for the first time, we felt proud and were ecstatic from June 'til September.

 

New Music Friday June Playlist

Good timing is something that seems to be elusive to us. However, June may be the month our luck changes as we kick off the month on a Friday, so our New Music Friday directly forms the beginning of this months playlist.

Coming also this month are festival season posts and our annual (huge) post about all things XpoNorth.

Created with the beginnings of summer, end of uni and our post-festival mindset, this months playlist already features brand new tracks from our favourites in Homebound, Dancing On Tables, L-Space, Bastille, Only Sun and Spring King.

SLAM DUNK IS HAPPENING THIS MONTH (and here's our May playlist)

FESTIVAL SEASON IS HERE.

It's March (Time for another new playlist)

Another month and another playlist. (We're getting pretty good at keeping up with this.) 

New Month New Playlist - February

February is always a little bitter-sweet for us. 

It's awards season, with both the BRITS and the NME awards both happening this month. February is always a month where everyone seems to be touring and new releases are never far away. Though, it is also the same month where we mourn the loss of Viola Beach. Two years later, we still feel their loss and anger over the things we want to see change in the music industry that so far haven't.

Safe to say its a month of mixed feelings and our playlist probably will reflect it.

New Year New Playlist

We are playlist people. And this time we're numbering them.

You've asked us and we've brought it back! Monthly playlists featuring our favourite tracks which get added to everytime we find a new track write about or just generally love in the month.

Each month we'll start a new one (because we don't like re-doing entire playlists every month and we like to keep them). We're not intentionally cluttering up the internet but we're keeping them so we all can re-find the tracks we've previously lost loved.

Our first for the year includes our favourites in Neon Waltz, Oddity Road, Rat Boy and Vistas. (All of who we're catching on in the next few months which you can read all about here.)

So here it is, the very first of 2018, our first playlist of the year and we are back.

Surving Uni Playlist

Another year at uni, another uni playlist.

Yes, we are back! Back at uni, back to 'more regular posts' and back to our lives post-festival season.

After how well received last years university playlist was, we decided to make another featuring brand new tracks, new artists and some old favourites.

We call these our 'uni playlist' because we've written up both playlists during lecturers. It doesn't matter whether you're in your second year like us or are just starting first year or you're still at high school about to write your dreaded UCAS statement or not in education at all.

Whether you want to drown our your lecturer, want something to aid your procrastination, want something to play loudly and annoy your neighbours with or just want help in creating your reputation as the person who always plays good music, this playlist is from us to you. Enjoy.

Sound Of 2017 Playlist

A new year means new music and 2017 looks to be huge. 

 

Celebrating new and upcoming musicians is what this blog does best. Full of my favourite tracks, from new artists and some old favourites, you've got near three hours of incredible music ahead.

You can check is out on Spotify (linked below) and on January 31st 23:30 (GMT) I'll be crowning my Sound of 2017.

Playlist For The Holidays

My two favourite seasons for music are spring and autumn. I'm not trying to be awkward when everyone else in the world seems to love summer and winter, but I have my reasons.

 

Getting Through Uni Playlist

I get very bored at uni. Even in a course I love, there is alot of time where I find mysef day dreaming or having a spare two hours to do nothing with between lectures. Naturally, I turned to music, this blog and decided to make a playlist encapsulating everything I'm currently listening to. (Of course, if I find other tracks I love I'll be adding them in too.)

 

Aptly named, my 'Getting Through Uni Playlist'.

It's a new month.  

 

Summer Playlist

To be honest I have no idea where half of this year has went. It has been a huge year for music with so many new releases and debut albums. After the somewhat success of my first summer/holiday playlist I decided it was time for another.

Skateparks and Sunshine - Summer 2016 Playlists

Even when leaving, 'the Golden Coast' taunted me with its abundance of skateparks and sunshine and in a time zone eight hours behind my home, I decided that would be the final name for my collective playlist.
