For Mixtape, we ask DJs and producers coming to town, in their opinions, what are the best songs ever and forever and ever. Or just a bunch of songs that are somewhat interesting for some reason. Copyright holders: if you would like your song removed, please email us , and we'll honor your request promptly.

The Mix-maker: Breakbot is a French electro-disco dude signed to Ed Banger, home of Justice, Mr Oizo, Feadz and all of them. He's in town this weekend, DJing at Arkham with Irfane, the vocalist on his track Baby I'm Yours. Quite a big hit that one. Came out last year and charted in France.

He makes and plays really happy, poppy electro with heavy disco and funk influences. His bio puts it quite nicely, saying: Breakbot is basically Justice if they wrote songs about the beach and summertime and pool parties, instead of the whole epic religious vibe.

For Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê×ÊÁÏÍø, he's put together this soundtrack to an imaginary day, from waking up and eating breakfast, to cruising down to the lake, to picking up horny hitchhiker and peeling off their clothes. Score. Lots of '70s tunes in here, and a nice overlap with Justice's selection, which we had up here last month.

So, headphones on, you're driving with the top down by a lake of crystal waters...



***

Neil Young — Old Man

Breakbot says: You wake up and want something that'll give you some juice for your journey today.

________________

The Bee Gees — Love Your Inside Out

Breakbot says: This song is perfectly suited for your breakfast.

________________

Justice — On 'n' On

Breakbot says: You just got in your car, and put on the stereo.

________________

Joe Walsh — Things

Breakbot says: Have a break and just enjoy the beautiful lake view. You can leave the doors open and listen to this one.

________________

Change — A Lover's Holiday

Breakbot says: You are fully awake now and you probably want to groove, time for A Lover's Holiday

________________

Brothers Johnson — You Make Me Wanna Wiggle

Breakbot says: You even start dancing while driving, because you're now listening to the Brothers Johnson. But be careful, driving and dancing can be pretty dangerous.


________________

Prince — Soft and Wet

Breakbot says: The light is fading and you just saw a beautiful hitchhiker on the side of the road. Before you let her in you call up this track and you might just get lucky.

________________

Todd Rundgren — Marlene

Breakbot says: Turns out she's called Marlene, and as a matter of fact you have THE song for her.

________________

Kendrick Lamar feat. Dre — The Recipe

Breakbot says: You drive her to the top of the hill, and you want her to know that you're a gentleman, but also pretty gangsta.

________________

Linda Perhacs — If You Were My Man

Breakbot says: You definitely got lucky this time...
