MIX NO. 37 // MODERN YACHT ROCK

Every year one of my favorite sites makes a Modern Yacht Rock mix and it’s something I look forward to every year. Whether you like it ironically or just genuinely appreciate the smooth sounds of the 1970s, Yacht Rock has really had a resurgence in recent years. I’ve been known to make a yacht rock playlist or two in my day. But this summer I thought I would give Modern Yacht Rock a go.

There are a whole slew of artists that make chilled out tunes that echo the smooth jams of the 70s, but with a bit of a different sound. You know the whole chillwave thing? It’s smooth, electronic, and pretty perfect for just relaxing on summer days. If I had a pool, you’d probably find me floating around for hours listening to this, but it is also pretty cool to listen to decompressing after work with a cocktail.

Whatever your 2020 summer vibe is, here are some chill tunes for it.
