We know what you did last summer. Or we know what WE did last summer, anyway, and we are going to be telling you all about it in a special summer recap edition of The Weekly Review.

Don't call it a comeback! A return from a summer break means only one thing: a sweet recap of some of the releases that came out while we were soaking our sweaty bodies on seashores. Arctic Monkeys, Phoenix, Hot Chip, Built To Spill, Panda Bear and Sonic Boom (or Panda Boom as I like to call it), and Suede all prove that long careers lead to interesting creative milestones, while tenderlings like Jockstrap, Gabrielle Aplin and Sudan Archives lay a claim that not all new music sucks, like Boomers occasionally say.
We invite the Primavera Sound accounts department - who happen to be the people who best understand Reggaeton in the office - to make a guide for boomer dummies who still resist the intoxicating power of perreo. They help us understand the differences between the Old School, new sweet trends and Neo-Perreo.

Adult Oriented Disco: Do adults dream of dance floors? Indeed they do, but the pace may be smoother than the euphoric rhythms the young demand. Judging by the latest releases from Beyoncé and Drake, these superstar parents follow a tradition of going four-to-the-floor that erupted in the late 70s with the disco fever, but there’s also room for tracks by Kate Bush or The Waterboys that usually get the grey in the mood for waving their arms in the air like they just don’t care.
