House Music Playlists To Follow This Summer – Magnetic Magazine

Christopher Mariano • Jun 5, 2023
Summer is upon us and it’s time for the outdoor hangs and fine-weather gatherings to commence. And nothing sweetens the idle days of summer better than hypnotic beats and well-crafted musical curations. 
These sunny days need a specific type of vibe, and your standard high-energy, massive open-hi-hat vibes just don’t match the environments you’re likely to be hanging out in. So instead, let’s shift the direction to the more melodic and creamy sideo f house music this summer and sink into the hypnotic beats with ethereally heady soundscapes of house music’s most popular subgenre. Music, like meditation and mindfulness tools at our disposal, can transport us. We rely on it, even unknowingly, to help us transcend time and space. Music is often an impetus to the ever-elusive “flow state” and house music, with its dreamy, atmospheric melodies, stimulates just that.
So let’s get into it. 
Our passion lies in staying ahead of the curve in the music industry and introducing you to fresh, undiscovered tracks. To facilitate this, we’ve curated a playlist that consistently rotates through a selection of top recommendations from our Magnetic team. Updated daily and weekly, this playlist embodies our commitment to delivering the most exciting and innovative music right to your fingertips this summer.

From the get go, the brilliantly curated playlists from Lebanon-based Melodizon, seemingly bring us on a spiritual journey. 
From underground artists such as Hugo Samba, to extended cuts from Canadian duo Sultan + Shepard, to the incomparable Nora en Pure, Melodizon weaves a beautiful audio tapestry.
Perfect from dusk to dawn or summer lounging on the patio, Melodizon’s knack for curating lush tracks makes for the perfect summer vibe.
As part of the UK label group Enhanced Music, the Colorize label is their Melodic House and Progressive House off-shoot.
While having curated playlists on Spotify or Apple Music is never bad, the beauty of Soundcloud is finding the rare playlist or a mix you wouldn’t normally find on a traditional music streaming platform. Enter Colorize – ambient, inspiring, and truly moving. From new releases from artists on their labels to full-on mixes, Colorize taps into the psyche with their “all the feels” brand of Melodic House. We’re not crying. You are (happy tears that is).

As summer sets in, it’s time to delve into the rhythmic beats of house music. One name that comes to mind is David Hohme, a prolific artist who juggles a grueling touring schedule, manages his record label, Where The Heart is Records, and hosts his regular radio show, Welcome Hohme Radio. Given his busy schedule, it’s a marvel he manages to find time for some shut-eye.
His radio show provides listeners with a skillfully mixed, uninterrupted hour of music every episode. The cherry on top, however, is his ingenious creation – the Welcome Hohme Selects playlist. This curated list collates all the tracks he’s played on his radio show, allowing listeners to revisit their favorite tunes.
The playlist, which is updated weekly, is a gold mine for house music enthusiasts. As the summer heat intensifies, add the Welcome Hohme Selects playlist to your must-follow lists. It’s an opportunity you won’t want to miss.

 Dutch producer/DJ Robby East, has curated the quintessential “chill-out” playlist. Reminiscent of Ibiza chill-out mixes from yesteryear but updated with a mix of heavy-hitters and hard-to-find underground artists from today, the Chill Melodic House playlist will surely make you feel like you’re watching the sun rise after a night at the once-infamous Amnesia. 
Verdant with rich melodies, luscious vocals, and just enough BPM to keep grooving into the wee hours, Robby East certainly knows how to take you on a ride. Sunglasses optional.

No Melodic House compilation would be complete without curation from the genre-defining label, Anjunadeep. A label started by mega-house music legends, Above and Beyond, Anjunadeep’s impact on the dance music scene can be defined as nothing short of profound. 
From the likes of Boris Brejcha, to CamelPhat, Moon Boots, Lane 8, and Ben Böhmer, the impact of Anjunadeep on music today ripples through the very fabric of Dance Music. With tracks from artists spanning their entire label, the artists on this playlist could easily headline an entire festival on their own. 

Have you ever started driving somewhere and then blink your eyes to find yourself at your destination without recalling the drive itself? Like you drove on auto-pilot…
You’re not alone. While we don’t recommend totally zoning out while driving a car, we do recommend this ethereal playlist by Spotify user, Wreckzone. Car packed and ready to hit the open road this summer? This compilation is for you.
Designed like a personal soundtrack for a summer road trip, this playlist hits like an adventure story arc – euphoric with the perfect balance of beats to get you from point A to point B and everything in between. Put the top down, blare the bass, and enjoy the winding roads that lead to sweeping vistas. Journey onward.

While not your typical Melodic House mix, it’s hard to deny the genius of FourTet. This mix via The Lot Radio in NYC is nothing short of brilliant.
Starting his career in experimental indie-rock band, Fridge, FourTet is no stranger to experimenting with his musical style. Blending a mix of jazz, melodic house, progressive house, Folktronic, hip-hop, and just about anything else he sees fit, FourTet’s keen understanding of music makes for one fun ride. Just when you’re not sure where he’ll take you, he pulls a 180 as smooth as John Wick at the Arc de Triomphe. Encore, please. 
With all that’s happened the last few years, it sometimes feels like we’re living in the Matrix. Life itself can feel like a movie…and you’re the lead character.
There’s no better way to score your film than with this cinematic masterpiece of a playlist by Dark City Music and Kennedy One. 
An up-and-coming producer and artist himself, Kennedy One, explores the darker hypnotic tones to take you on a deep dive of introspection while keeping the beats flowing to keep you honed in. 
Ranging from Progressive House to Melodic Techno, you’ll feel like “The One” in no time. 

Swedish label and online blog, House Music with Love, curates an eclectic blend of indie artists such as Bonfante and certified superstars like Rüfüs du Soul for this stunning playlist.
What’s the draw of House Music – in particular, Melodic House? Is it the downtempo beats? The euphoric melodies? The hypnotic bass lines? In our opinion, it’s the almost spiritual experience it sends us on. 
If there’s a word for this heady and provocative playlist, it’s transcendent. Think night rides in the city, dusk in an desert, and evenings between the sheets – foreplay for the ears.

While we love how vocals can really tie the layers of a song, sometimes a powerful instrumental is all you need to get lost in. 
German record label and playlist specialist, Klangspot Recordings, knows how to set the mood with this ambient playlist. With a keen ear for lo-fi beats, ambient tracks, and a love for chillout music, this playlist will surely transport you to another dimension if you let it. 
A balanced mix of cinematic Melodic Techno and dream-induced Melodic House, Klangspot sends us on our very own hero’s and heroine’s journey.

For up-and-coming creators that don’t have the financial backing to license the use of a song , finding the right music to add to a video can be painstakingly difficult.
