From Azealia Banks' sassy beats to the mellow sounds of Bahamas, scroll through today's slideshow to see what's on Who What Wear's summer mix tape!

"For chill cocktails and leisurely barbecues, it's all about The Lion's Roar by First Aid Kit-especially 'Emmylou,' which is one of my favorite songs. But when things need to get a little crazier, I'll swap out that album for Miike Snow's Happy To You. The songs 'Pretender' and 'Paddling Out' always put me in a dancing mood!" - Hillary Kerr

"This album may not scream beach party or backyard BBQ, but it's full of so many great tracks that are perfect for a summer road trip mix tape." - Jessica Baker

"Bloom holds the hypnotic summer sound that Beach House has so effortlessly perfected." - Sarah Chiarot
