The fact that you're here visiting Gilt Taste, spending your money on things like La Frieda rib roasts and hand-foraged chanterelle mushrooms, probably means that you're some kind of serious home cook. Good for you. It also probably means that you throw one hell of a party. And while we're sure that you can execute a five course meal for twenty with precision, we are betting that when it comes to music for your party, you're connecting your iPod Nano to a boombox, hitting shuffle, and hoping for the best. That's where we come in. We'll be checking in regularly at Taste to personally curate playlists for your upcoming special occasions. To kick it off, we've put together a list of upbeat, outdoor-friendly jams for your end of summer party needs. Happy Labor Day, friends!
If you are hip to the new music service, Spotify, you can simply subscribe to these, hit play, and get to entertaining. If not, take our list and download the songs from your favorite music provider.
