With Memorial Day weekend being the official kick-off to summer, what better way to get the party season started than with celebrity jams?

JaKissa Taylor, a New York-based master of turntables also known as DJ Kiss, has spun for the likes of Madonna and Diddy ? and if her taste in music is good enough for A-listers, why not our own parties? Here are her top picks for PEOPLE.com readers.

Whether it's lounging poolside or sweating on the dance floor of a nightclub, your summer playlist is set!

? "Second Chance," Peter Bjorn and John: "This song is so fun! It sounds like a 2011 indie version of the Beach Boys. Perfect to listen to on your ipod at the Beach!" Listen here.

? "The Edge of Glory," Lady Gaga: "My favorite song off of Lady Gaga?s new album! An epic sounding record that reminds me of great summer songs of the '80s." Listen here.

? "Give Me Everything (Tonight)," Pitbull Feat. Ne-Yo: "You can?t have summer without a new Pitbull record! He makes people feel good and want to dance!" Listen here.
