Timo Weiland’s Summer Jams
Minutes before his men’s show, the designer and DJ Timo Weiland shares his fast-paced summer playlist.
We hear you’re a regular on the music festival circuit? I have been going to music festivals around the world since I was a kid, so the ongoing experience of it is something that I treasure. My favorite thing is to wander between sets of your favorite acts in anticipation of the unexpected. It is vastly different to be on-stage than it is to be in the crowd.
What do you predict will be the song of summer 2015? Fetty Wap “Trap Queen.” It’s an iconic upbeat electro hip-hop mash-up and guaranteed fun track for all.
What do you listen to when you’re out/at work/relaxing at home? My selection is always in flux depending on my mood and surroundings. I tend to favor the more electronic end of the spectrum with rock, hip-hop, and pop tracks. That said, mixing it up is always my bag—I have been closing pre-game playlists with Rihanna “B*tch Better Have My Money” and Yazoo “Only You” for more chill dinner party or nights when I’m just reading at home.
