For those of you that are new to my MidNight Gems series. Welcome to this nightly trip on which we will uncover & recover some amazing covers and we will do it a little different tonight....No we are not!

This is gonna be a standard old fashion Midnight Gems....just a little summer trip.

So not too much bla bla tonight...just quick and dirty, starting with this laidback dream pop.

1. Eyedress & Dent May - Something About You

This makes me feel sooo good...and this summer I want just feel-good songs....those little summer vibes that only get under your skin when Celsius exceeds 30 degrees. And no fake stuff...

2. Chet Faker - Feel Good

When I think summer I think Italy, Spain I think Mar y Mare.....and darn isn´t this just a loveñy tequila beach vibe......I have my bottle open and sunglasses on my to big nose....wishing I was at the Mare

3. Rodrigo Amarante - Maré

This is truly summer....and not the salty summers we used to have in The Netherlands....where you were lucky with 2 weeks of real summer....guess we needed more clovers....or just start living in Spain as I did.

4. Summer Salt - Clover

Nowhere to go...no where I belong and still I ended in the South of Spain......where the chances on kissing in the rain are minimal....but if it rains it poors. Don´t get fooled by the Soccer Mommies calling the video death metal----it´s the alternative version of a summer song....

5. Soccer Mommy - Kissing In The Rain

But back to the sweet chill summer songs...give me a Doge and a Highway and the next song on the radio...and I will drive all night.....because I hope you still love me like you used to.

6. Lord Huron - Love Me Like You Used To

And that dear friends is how simple and beautiful life can be......just like the next song.....simple & beautiful...just as life should be.

7. The Lathums - How Beautiful Life Can Be

This next song is meant for a hot summer night..... midnight....one you do not spend alone....one you spend without technology.....just pure carnage ;)

8. Milow - Ayo Technology

Making this hot day en with one more light.....this is was his goodbye.....we did not know when he released this....dedicating this to his late friend Chris Cornell who had died a day before..... but it with hindsight this was Chester saying goodbye.

9. One More Light [Official Music Video] - Linkin Park

What the fluff are midnight gems?

Somewhere lost in time, trying to escape out of the rabbit hole back into the rat race there is a vacuum..... that´s the place where midnight gems are found.

My Midnight Gems will try to uncover & recover those beautiful songs that nobody ever noticed or might have been forgotten.

Who the fluff am I?

Being a former DJ playing about everything and having an uncompleted study of radio journalism I have been wanting to do this for years....Thought about it many nights and guess now it´s time to finally take it to the streets.

Hope you enjoyed this slightly confronting wave of amazing music and you still feel like joining me on the next trip as vol. 25 of Midnight Gems is coming soon.
