Saturday is National Dance Day in the United States. In honor of the special occasion, we've created a new Spotify playlist for your listening pleasure. Whether you're jamming solo or hosting a sweaty dance party, feel free to check it out below.
In time for the weekend, Action Bronson has released a new summer-friendly cut titled "Water Sports." The track once again brings the MC together with the ever-reliable producer Harry Fraud. The two previously collaborated for Bronson's Saab Stories EP, which is entirely produced by Fraud. And they have done it again, together with New York's Big Body Bes, creating a smooth, new three-and-a-half minute gold nugget that's perfect for the beach, the lake, the road.

As we previously mentioned, Childish Gambino makes a guest appearance on the remix of U.K. outfit Rudimental's "Feel the Love." The track, which was already one of our favorites, has now received a playful redo by producer Woz with the rapper-actor contributing a new verse.
Days ahead of the release of their debut album, Body Music, English duo AlunaGeorge has unleashed the new set for streaming. Unlike many other recent early streams, the pair has elected against going the iTunes or Soundcloud route.
