Friday Night Reggae Mix

Creating the ideal 'going out' playlist is a subtle-appreciated art form. You may be surprised to learn that you could craft a perfect playlist just from the genre of Reggae music. A lot of people may think that the only time to listen to Reggae is while reclining in a hammock on the beach or playing hacky-sack on the quad after class. In reality, Reggae is a much more diverse genre than you might expect.
So let's get Friday night started with some good vibes.

First, there's the pregame. The pregame set list should be upbeat enough to get people excited to go out while they casually start sipping, while simultaneously not being overpowering, draining you for the long night ahead. So find the balance between upbeat and chill. There's no need to pump EDM while ripping shots of Svedka like its freshman year again...yet. Remember, this is the pregame, and nobody likes that hardo that puts on Thunderstruck at 8pm.



The Pregame:

Lazy Lake - Audiodub
Black Roses - Barrington Levy
Roots, Rock, Reggae - Bob Marley & The Wailers
She Gimme Love - Collie Buddz
Dance All Night - The Dirty Heads (ft. Matisyahu)
The Girls - The Holdup (ft. Weege)
 
When in doubt, The Holdup, Collie Buddz and Sublime rarely disappoint.

Now you're nice and pregamed. You feel good. You look good. You're confident. That girl from your Econ class just Snapchatted you. One or two more shots and this might be the best Friday night of the year. So what kind of playlist goes with this feeling? The Friday night Reggae mix of course. These tracks will keep you hyped up through the next couple drinks and then some. Sure, the bass line will still be thumping at the heart of these Reggae party tunes, but adjust the treble a bit, because you're gonna want to keep that energy up.

At this point in the night you've either passed out or you're blacked out still raging. Either way, you're gonna need the Reggae hangover playlist tomorrow so stay tuned!
