Is there anything better than amazing music in the sunshine?! Answers on a postcard please...

Peaches – Talk To Me

The first lady of filthy electro pop is back. Irresistible.

Bulletproof – La Roux

Another feisty electro female. Yawn. Well, actually, no. I challenge you to stand still to this track. Also, her mum is June from The Bill. Fact.

Florence and the Machine – Dog Days Are Over

It truly is the summer of the eccentric female solo artists and Florence is up there with the best of them, handclaps, harps and all.

Yeah Yeah Yeahs – Heads Will Roll

Karen O and the boys really need no introduction – except that latest album ‘It’s Blitz!’ and this single in particular is a must for the summer. “Off with head! Dance till you’re dead!” – the new campsite chant of 2009?

Basement Jaxx – Raindrops

Superb new offering from the Brixton boys: it’ll see you through the summer, from euphoric Balearic sunsets to rosy fingered dawn creeping up to the 15th floor of East Berlin tower blocks.

The artwork for the Jaxx's summery titled track...

An unmissable track from one of the biggest new bands of the year.

The Wave Machines – I Go I Go I Go

More kooky electro pop from these newcomers.

Royksopp feat. Robyn – The Girl and the Robot.

As if we needed any further proof that Scandinavians do it better.

First Aid Kit – You’re Not Coming Home Tonight

Speaking of which, these disgustingly young Swedes have been quietly conquering with their heartfelt bluesy pop, and with a daytime set at Glastonbury could well be the band of the summer.

Animal Collective – Summertime Clothes

A surprising breakthrough tune from the famously obscure New York based band.

Ladyhawke – Dusk till Dawn

Altogether now..."Sun, Sun, Sun!"

The Noisettes – Don’t Upset The Rhythm

Try and get this out of your head.

Lady Gaga – Boys Boys Boys

Whether you love or hate her, or are completely baffled by her, she’s going to be ubiquitous this summer. Give in and turn this up loud.

Gossip – Heavy Cross

Stand out track on the trio’s new album, and looking set to be massive.

Noah and the Whale – 5 Years Time

This song will probably provide the tweest and most heartwarming singalong of the festival season. All together now: “Sun, Sun, Sun!”

Blur – There’s No Other Way

The biggest reunion of the summer.
