Top 10 Summer Cruising Tunes
1. Maribou State – “Steal” (feat. Holly Walker)
Atmospheric, soulful, and layered with subtle beats, this track melts into the background in the best way. Great for zoning out as the world glides by.
2. Petit Biscuit – “Sunset Lover”
A chilled-out classic. Dreamy guitar loops, crisp beats, and that sun-washed vibe—it’s basically summer in audio form.
3. Zero 7 – “Destiny”
Smooth, downtempo, and effortlessly cool. Zero 7’s lush production makes this a perfect backdrop for lazy afternoon rides.
4. FKJ – “Tadow” (with Masego)
Funky, jazzy, and totally hypnotic. FKJ brings the groove, and this track is a longboarding essential—especially when you're feeling yourself mid-ride.
5. HONNE – “Warm on a Cold Night”
This one’s got soul. Smooth vocals and late-night energy—ideal for those evening cruises when the air starts to cool but the vibe stays warm.
6. Tycho – “Awake”
Instrumental, expansive, and euphoric. Tycho's blend of ambient electronic and soft rock is perfect for zoning out on a long stretch of road.
7. KAYTRANADA – “Lite Spots”
For a touch of rhythm and bounce, KAYTRANADA delivers. “Lite Spots” is feel-good energy that matches perfectly with carving turns and laid-back lines.
8. Tom Misch – “Movie” (feat. Loyle Carner)
Laid-back guitar, jazzy beats, and smooth flow—Tom Misch and Loyle Carner serve up chill London vibes with a groove that keeps you rolling.
9. ODESZA – “Say My Name” (feat. Zyra)
Uplifting and floaty, this is the kind of track that makes you want to cruise until the sun goes down. Big synth energy with just the right tempo.
10. Boards of Canada – “Dayvan Cowboy”
A little more leftfield, but a total atmospheric gem. Ethereal and nostalgic, this instrumental track feels like a dream sequence from a skate film.
