We might have just three official days of summer left, but there’s no reason to let it end without a party. Whether you’re celebrating Labour Day from a dock, patio or park, we have a playlist that will take you through the whole long weekend. We’re talking Frank Ocean slow jams, The Wanted’s boy band awesomeness and a throwback with the Clueless soundtrack. Maybe if we all listen at the same time we can convince summer to stick around a bit longer?

TGIF Mixtape: 20 danceable tracks our online editor will be listening to all weekend long
Forget flip flops—everybody knows that the ultimate summer essential is the summer soundtrack. To celebrate everybody’s favourite time for tuneage, we’re going to be serving up fresh new weekly playlists in partnership with Rdio. If you haven’t heard of this rad new(ish) invention, it’s the perfect hybrid between radio and mp3 players that offers over 15 million songs at the ready, which can be added to your personal collection, mixed into playlists and shared. Oh, and there’s an app too.
