Unleash The Thrills: The Perfect Summer Trackside Playlist - News

Summer is in full swing, and for car fanatics like ourselves, it's the perfect time to rev up our engines and enjoy some summer sun out on the tarmac.

At DrivingExperience.com, we understand the importance of a carefully curated playlist to enhance any experience behind the wheel. So, buckle up and get ready to dive into our ultimate summer playlist which we feel would be the perfect companion as you drift off into those golden horizons.

• Curtis Mayfield - Move on Up: Curtis Mayfield's infectious rhythm sets the tone for how we are going about this playlist and is the first track we would fire up to get us in the mood. We opted for the extended version of "Move on Up'' due to us feeling it encapsulates that spirit of progress and freedom, especially during the instrumentals in the middle.
• Daft Punk - Get Lucky: With Daft Punk's pulsating beats and infectious groove, "Get Lucky" continues the burst of energy received from Mayfield and makes it next on our list. The funky electronic melodies sync perfectly with each twist and turn of the roads ahead and is a great track to bob the head along to – shades down of course.
• Bob Marley - Three Little Birds: As you accelerate down the road, Bob Marley's timeless anthem "Three Little Birds" is a perfect reminder to forget your worries and enjoy the ride. The reggae rhythms provides that laid-back yet uplifting atmosphere, offering a moment of tranquillity. If you’re up and out on the road during those early sunrises, then this is the song you’ll want in your ears. Don’t worry about a thing!
• Queen - Another One Bites the Dust: There's no denying the power and intensity of Queen's iconic hit, "Another One Bites the Dust." The driving bassline, coupled with Freddie Mercury's powerful vocals are enough to have you hanging on to the edge of your seat.
• Dizzee Rascal feat. Calvin Harris - Dance With Me: The combination of Dizzee Rascal's fiery rhymes and Calvin Harris' infectious beats in "Dance With Me" adds that touch of urban energy any adventure needs. We’re sure that anyone playing this summer banger will be able to take on any corners thrown their way.
• Mungo Jerry - In the Summertime: What's a summer playlist without Mungo Jerry's timeless classic? "In the Summertime" brings that carefree vibe to your drive, reminding you to enjoy these sunny days while they are around.
• Guns N' Roses - Paradise City: When the revs are high and the engine roars, Guns N' Roses' "Paradise City" is the perfect track as you coast through the city streets. This rock anthem is sure to fuel your inner rebel, get you cranking the volume up and air drum away on the steering wheel.
• Girls Aloud - Long Hot Summer: Originally recorded for the soundtrack of the Disney movie Herbie: Fully Loaded, this infectious, attitude driven slice of summery pop from Cheryl, Nadine, Kimberley, Nicola and Sarah, produced by the legendary Brian Higgins and Xenomania, is sure to get your motors running with its cheeky soundbites for lyrics such as "Just cause you drive a Maserati and the ladies stare / Don’t mean you’ll go as fast as I do".
• DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince - Summertime: As you cross the white line and celebrate your driving triumphs, Will Smith - in his Fresh Prince alter ego - with "Summertime" is the quintessential summer hit which demands a place on any playlist as it encapsulates the essence of sunny days, warm breezes, and the joy of carefree moments.
• Wiz Khalifa – See You Again: An iconic song for all car fans out there, symbolising the strong community bond within the car world which we are all a part of. This Fast and Furious anthem will have everyone reminiscing on the long day they’ve had and how they can’t wait to get back out on the road once more to live life to its fullest.

From the soulful sounds of Kurtis Mayfield to the electrifying beats of Daft Punk, we hope that there is something in this playlist for everyone. We look forward to hearing the music blasting out during your next trip this summer!
