THE JAM JAR | 062
Did we mention it's been unbelievable weather out here in SF over the past few weeks? Right, well, the Jam Jar has happened to align perfectly as our soundtrack for it, and we've got some stellar additions coming your way this time around.
A perfect start to these summertime jams, Yahtzel transforms High from fellow Aussie's Peking Duk into a buoyant tropical soundscape. You don't want to miss this.

Canadian duo Natural Animal caught our ear last year with their remix of Bear Mountain. And this new feel-good take on Montreal's Kandle is definitely worth a repeat play.

Yes, we did already post Goldroom's fantastic take on this tune last week, but trust us when we say what Darius has done here, makes it worth the double dip. This one's just straight up aural sunshine.

After topping the Hype Machine charts with their rework of Sam Smith's essential Stay With Me last month, Toronto's Rainer + Grimm show no signs of slowing down with this house-inspired version of ZHU's Faded.
