Jesse Marco's music is made for summer. Earlier this year, he released "Superstar," which came about during a chill period but felt like a muggy backyard jam. He only has a handful of singles under his belt (for Big Beat and Glassnote), but he's made a huge impact over the last few years, with remixes for Two Door Cinema, Kings of Leon, Childish Gambino, Peter Bjorn & John, and The Knocks on his resume. He's aslo linked up with Stussy for special mixtapes, and has toured with Asher Roth, Kid Cudi, Pusha T and MGK. He's even been featured in the film Project X.

For his Five Tracks, Jesse kept things more current, giving us some of his favorite sounds of the summer alongside info on a forthcoming single of his for Dim Mak. You get a great look from a DJ who knows which tracks to drop for the crowd while still giving people a bit of a swerve. Check out Jesse's Five Tracks.

Disclosure ft. Eliza Doolittle - "You & Me"

Just a gem of a track. The garagey vibe and the drums make for a sweet spot for me in a set if I'm trying to go a little bit deeper or if the crowd is ready for a bit more. The vocal is irresistible.

Jesse Marco and Cory Enemy - "On the Run"

Jay Z - "Dirt Off Your Shoulder (Brillz & Z-Trip Remix)"

Everything about this track from Z’s cuts to the drum work, make it sort of impossible not to enjoy. I've dropped this a lot recently and always get this “holy shit” look from the crowd and they can't help but get into it. Jay Z vocals never hurt either. A classic with a cool new twist, and being a DJ that scratches makes me like this one even more.

Daft Punk - "Get Lucky (Audio Jacker Remix)"

Permeating the mainstream these days can be hard, it's just such a sign of the times when everything is sounding so abrasive and full that the robots come and steal a moment with a simple vocoder and guitar licks from Nile. I'm a huge fan and I don't care what people say, this is good, and there's a reason it's popular and I don't have any problem playing something just because everyone likes it. Audio Jacker just adds some nice drums to give it that happy disco house vibe.

Major Lazer - "Watch Out For This (Bumaye)"

What a fun, cheeky jam. I must say this summer has been RULED by this fun moombah joint, at least for me. Constant good vibes and a strong groovy dutch drop at the right tempo gives it something very sexual, I think. It just makes me want to grind with a girl like I was in high school again. Real talk. Love this joint.
