“After a long year inside, this playlist is filled with songs itching to be played outdoors,” Nina Las Vegas told Apple Music in late 2021. “Whether it’s going for a long run somewhere outside your 10k radius, a delicious picnic with friends or driving to visit family, these songs want you to forget living with restrictions. Fun, upbeat and perfect on a Bluetooth speaker, this is the soundtrack to a wild and hope-filled summer!” Jump into her action-packed mix now, and read on to see which four tracks NLV singles out for particular focus. Doss, “Look” “Although I loved everything about Doss’ 2021 EP 4 New Hit Songs, her first single ‘Look’ was my fav. 2021 saw me running a lot, and ‘Look’ kicked off my running playlist every time. Totally energising—can’t wait to hear it loud!” PinkPantheress, “I must apologise” “The year of PinkPantheress, right? It’s so hard to choose just one song from her album, but ‘I must apologise' is too iconic to ignore. I loved knowing that songs can be so short and so complexly produced, but still calming and connecting with so many people. It’s weirdly dark but so bright. I love it.” Big Skeez, “No Trace” “Big Skeez’s vocals with Swick’s production make for such a perfect collaboration. This song has always reminded me of summer, even though it was released in the middle of winter. I heard someone describe it as infectious—a term you don’t really wanna hear in a pandemic—but it is. And that hook!” Pretty Girl, “Sun Phase” “2021 was also the year of Naarm-based producer Pretty Girl. ‘Sun Phase’ feels nostalgic, like early SBTRKT or Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs. So delicately produced, but then the little moments of 'yes' suck me in every time. YES!”
