Now that Friday’s–finally–here, you’ll likely be spending your weekend in a perpetual state of chill, which obviously calls for a list of perfect jams to play everywhere from the beach to a rooftop cocktail session.
Enter New York-based DJs and fashion designers Timo Weiland and Alan Eckstein—aka Tim0 + Alan—who know a thing or two about crafting a killer playlist. Here, they highlight 10 perfect summer songs pegged to New York, but you don’t have to be in the city to blast them all weekend.
