Twins Cosmo and Pat Liney are no strangers to endless hours on the dance floor. As the Sydney production duo Cosmo’s Midnight, the Liney brothers know just when to add a twist of melancholy or a surge of adrenaline. That nuanced approach carries over into this summer-themed playlist from the pair. “This playlist is all about soundtracking moments,” Pat told Apple Music in late 2021. “These tunes have gone hand in hand with hazy summer nights, road trips, swims, and many memories; some have even inspired songs of our own.” Cosmo adds: “Some are new, some are classics, some you may have never heard until now. We hope you’ll love ’em all.” Get ready to get moving in joyous appreciation of their selections, and read on for their insights into five particular highlights. SZA, “Good Days” “This song reflects the melancholy of summers gone by, although lyrically SZA deals with different notions. For me, ‘Good Days’ reminds me of the bittersweet realisation that after each summer you’ve grown older and matured. Each year you find yourself reminiscing more on years gone by rather than what’s happening right now.”—Pat Candi Staton, “Young Hearts Run Free” “I remember hearing this song for the first time in Baz Luhrmann’s Romeo + Juliet. For me it’s always been a celebration of youth and freedom from responsibility. Perfect for summer.” —Cosmo Daniel Caesar, “CYANIDE” “Can’t wait to eventually visit my mum’s homeland of Jamaica. This song will play triumphantly as I sip a delish cocktail in the spa-like water.”—Pat Chaos In the CBD, “Midnight in Peckham” “This song f**ks me up. It’s so simple, but the mournful trumpet and the march of the drums and chord progression are so sombre! This is the swan song of summer—the perfect soundtrack to a trip down memory lane.” —Cosmo Les Sins, “Grind” “As you hear the drums slowly fade in throughout the intro, the atmosphere is immediately set. The sun has set, but its heat will remain throughout the night as you groove with your friends.”—Pat
