Freeload: The FADER Issue 62 Podcast

We and you and everyone we know has been trumpeting the Summer Of Love 2009, and it was our mantra as we put together FADER Issue 62. We scoured the universe for the summeriest, most barbecuey music this year and came up with an issue that, if you scratch-and-sniff it, smells vaguely coconutty like Hawaiian Tropic (not really). As such, this issue’s podcast, presented by Bacardi B-LIVE, is about as clear a definition of what we think you should be listening to in the coming months as we could possibly make. It’s got songs from every artist in the issue from cover stars Phoenix, Major Lazer, Maluca, DJ Sega and Popo; featured power-bros Young Dro, Dum Dum Girls, Wavves, Crocodiles, Family Time Records fam, Gen Fers Omega, D-Lo and Sleepy D, Esser, CFCF, and like a trizillion more people! Download it below and listen while reading the issue, scorching hot like the sun on newsstands right now. And come back to TheFADER.com in two weeks for the free issue PDF that you can save on your computer until the robots take over.

Live: FADER 62 Issue Release Party

Word on the street is that we totally killed it with our Summer Music Issue, so to celebrate we jammed as many people as we could onto a huge roof in Bushwick and set up a bar with Budweiser, Southern Comfort and Vitamin Water. We’re into simple pleasures, so that alone would have been enough, but Popo, Maluca and an iteration of Major Lazer featuring Diplo, Switch and BK’s very own 77Klash all tore up the stage. The city lights were blinking in the distance and we were surrounded by nearly all of our friends. After the jump check a small selection of images from the epic night.
