SummersRadio™ TBC Poundsystem - 'Losing My Sledge 2012' (LCD Soundsystem Christmas Parody) (includes free download)

How about a laugh for Christmas? I know I needed one - cheers to my friend Farshad for finding this song! It's perfect for a 4:20 post on this very special day. This is TBC Poundsystem's festive take on LCD Soundsystem's 2002 opus 'Losing My Edge' - created by two gentlemen from London - Tim from Mutantpop and Jeb 50PoundNote.

This is a new 2012 remastered version of the song parody they first recorded in 2005. It's backed by a mashup up of several songs besides LCD's tune including Michael Jackson's 'Don't Stop Til You Get Enough' and 'Funkytown' from Lipps Inc.

'Losing My Sledge 2012' is the first release on Tim and Jeb's new label Kuma-Chan Records. And as a Christmas bonus the pair have made this highlarious track available as a free download on Soundcloud m'here: http://soundcloud.com/mutantpop/tbc-poundsystem-losing-my

                   

And if one present isn't enough for you the boys also have the song available with a new dub instrumental b-side and four pages of artwork from Jeb here: http://www.mediafire.com/?aztwahlruehoqon

Happy Christmas 2012 from SummersRadio™! Cheers Everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

'Losing My Sledge 2012' even has a brand new video - that along with the lyrics will have your brain melting in no time at all - it's chock full of Christmas (and/ or some other kinds of) spirit(s). Some of my favourite lines here are 'I was working on the sleigh bell sounds... with much patience' and '...all the Jingle Cats tracks'... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! The Primitives!

SummersRadio™ New Music! The Primitives - 'You Trashed My Christmas'

The Primitives have released a new original song - a Christmas song - and it's awesome! Now that's high praise considering I find 99% of Christmas music to be a form of torture.

'You Trashed My Christmas' is one of sixteen songs on a new festive compilation called 'A Christmas Gift For You From Elefant Records' that also includes artists such as The School, BMX Bandits, The Yearning and The Magic Theatre.

Elefant Records is a Spanish indie label founded in 1989 by Luis Calvo - and the compilation is available now on itunes. It's also available on cd and limited white vinyl here: http://elefant.com/

                    
Some naughty person has gone and trashed the always lovely Tracy Tracy's decorations and broken her heart - but this is no weepy ballad - 'You Trashed My Christmas' rocks and Tracy sounds stronger than ever... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™! New Music + Classic Mashup! LOVERDOSE! Blondie vs The Doors!

SummersRadio™! New Music + Classic Mashup! LOVERDOSE - 'Doors In The Storm' (Original Mix)/ Blondie vs The Doors - 'Rapture Riders' (Full Version)

LOVERDOSE are a dj/ production duo from London that have just released a new single called 'Doors In The Storm'! 'Doors In The Storm' is a rather radical rework of The Doors classic 1971 single 'Riders On The Storm'. The one track single is released on the Prison Entertainment label and it's currently available exclusively on Beatport: http://www.beatport.com/#release/doors-in-the-storm/1016850

While the music is totally different this rework still manages to maintain some of the eerie charm of the original... Enjoy!



Bonus Track - Classic Mash Up! 'Riders On The Storm' was also famously mashed up with Blondie's 1981 hit 'Rapture' in 2005 as 'Rapture Riders'. Billed as Blondie vs The Doors the remix works amazingly well - it was approved for release by both bands and it became a hit in the U.K. and Australia. This is the 'Full Version' of 'Rapture Riders'... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Victor Ruiz & Alex Stein!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Victor Ruiz & Alex Stein - 'São Paulo' (Original Mix)

Brazil's Victor Ruiz and Alex Stein have just released a new EP called 'Generation'! The four track EP features the original mix of the title track plus a remix from Boris Brejcha, as well as the songs 'São Paulo' and 'Consciousness'. It's released on the Sprout label and it's currently available exclusively on Beatport: http://www.beatport.com/#release/generation/1010143

'Generation' is a solid EP chock full of incredible sounds but it's the second track on the EP - named after their hometown of 'São Paulo' - that may be the most mind-altering... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Bart Skils - 'Hypnotizing' (Original Mix)

Amsterdam's Bart Skils has just released a new EP called 'Brave New World'! Perhaps we are in a 'Brave New World' now since it didn't end at midnight as some naive humans had feared - so let's get on with having some fun then! His four song EP is released on Drumcode and it's currently available exclusively on Beatport: http://www.beatport.com/#release/brave-new-world-ep/1009193

'Hypnotizing' is my favourite track on the EP so far - it has a nice driving gallop to it... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Remix + Free Download! Front 242! Dominatrix RMX!

SummersRadio™ New Remix + Free Download! Front 242 - 'Welcome To Paradise' (EBM Front Rhein Main Remix)

Germany's Andy Motke aka Dominatrix RMX has just released a new remix of Front 242's classic 'Welcome To Paradise' online today! Perhaps you've heard the claims that the world will end at midnight tonight - I bet some religious fanatics are praying their little hands off - well I promise you I'll be back tomorrow to post some more quality music!

                     

'Welcome To Paradise' is a track from Front 242's 1988 album 'Front By Front'. It also appeared as the b-side on their massive 'Headhunter' single - and I reckon I'm not the only human that liked it even more than the a-side. Dominatrix RMX updates the song nicely while still maintaining the gritty industrial energy of the original.

If his 'EBM Front Rhein Main Remix' is to your liking simply click on the download icon below to get your free copy... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Remix! Beat Connection! Saint Etienne!

SummersRadio™ New Remix! Beat Connection Featuring Chelsey Scheffe - 'Think/Feel' (Saint Etienne Remix)/ (Official Video)

Seattle's Beat Connection have just released a new remix of their latest single 'Think/Feel' online! Beat Connection opened up for Saint Etienne when they performed in Seattle at Showbox last month - they also remixed Saint Etienne's track 'Last Days Of Disco' - and now the London trio has returned the favour and remixed their single 'Think/Feel'.

'Think/ Feel' is from the band's album called 'The Palace Garden' which is released on the Moshi Moshi Records label and it's available now on itunes (in the U.S.). Thus far this chilled remix is not yet available commercially so... Enjoy!



Beat Connection also recently released the official video for the original version of 'Think/Feel' which features some nice surreal dreamlike imagery... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music + Free Download! In The Valley Below!

SummersRadio™ New Music + Free Download! In The Valley Below - 'Hymnal'

In The Valley Below are a new band from Echo Park, Los Angeles who released their self titled debut EP in October. The band features two main vocalists (Jeffrey Jacob and Angela Gail) who tend to sing in a duet style - a bit like The xx, but livelier - without sounding like they're in a coma! Jeffrey also plays guitar along with keyboardist Jeremy Grant and drummer Joshua Clair. I like how they describe their sound/ genre on Facebook as 'Indie Dusk, Dark Duet': http://www.facebook.com/inthevalleybelow

                    

Their three song EP is available on their Bandcamp site here (you name your price): http://inthevalleybelow.bandcamp.com/

They've also recently released a new song online called 'Hymnal' which won me over instantly well before the song even ended. It's a gorgeous tune featuring their lovely harmonies over soothing keyboards. I particularly like the backing vocal effects and the lyric 'I wish I found you sooner, I could have loved you longer'.

For some reason there's no share/ embed option on Soundcloud for this song so please click on the link below to listen. If 'Hymnal' is to your liking you can download a free copy courtesy of wearesolidgold simply by clicking the download icon on Soundcloud... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music/ Video! Max Cooper Featuring BRAIDS!

SummersRadio™ New Music/ Video! Max Cooper Featuring BRAIDS - 'Pleasures' (Original Mix)

London's Max Cooper has just released a new EP with Montreal's BRAIDS called 'Conditions One'! This is the first of two themed EP's that will examine the human condition - that might sound a bit lofty at first but interestingly Cooper has a PHD and was a genetics researcher prior to launching his music career. This is the first EP released on the new label called Fields and it's available on both itunes and Beatport (half the price on itunes).

The 'Conditions One' EP features four tracks - the original mixes of 'Pleasures' and 'Automation' - plus one remix of each track from Ghosting Season and D/R/U/G/S respectively. All four tracks feature vocals from BRAIDS who released their second album called 'Native Speaker' last year: http://braidsmusic.com/ 

'Pleasures' has a nice dreamilke quality to it - and it features a beautiful video hand-painted by Cédric De Smedt. Please note that this video edit is 4:12 - the full 'Original Mix' is 7:45... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Drumcomplex & Roel Salemink - 'The Box' (Alex Di Stefano Remix)

The Netherlands' Roel Salemink and German duo Drumcomplex have just released a new EP together called 'The Box'! 'The Box' EP features three tracks - the original mix of the title track, along with a remix from Italy's Alex Di Stefano and a song called 'Toxic'. It's released on the Baptism label and it's currently available exclusively from Beatport: http://www.beatport.com/#release/the-box-ep/1002790

The 'Alex Di Stefano Remix' is the first track on the EP and rightfully so, as it's a driving hypnotic monster of a tune... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music/ Rework! Grass Is Greener! Billy Idol!

SummersRadio™ New Music/ Rework! Grass Is Greener - 'Start Again' (Teenage Mutants Remix)

New York City's Grass Is Greener have just released their debut EP called 'Start Again'! Grass is Greener are a duo consisting of SR SERGE (Sergei Sklyarenko) and EBAR (Eric Reithler-Barros). Their first EP features four tracks - the original mix of the title track plus three remixes.

It's released on the Nurvous label - the new indie dance/ nu disco sub label of the legendary Nervous Records - and it's available on both itunes and Beatport (half the price on itunes).

                               

'Start Again' is basically a rework of Billy Idol's hit 'White Wedding' from his self titled album released in 1982. The music is completely different however and the vocals are slowed down to create a fun new dance tune that's also instantly recognizable - this is the 'Teenage Mutants Remix'... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Remix! Talking Heads - 'Burning Down The Acid House' (LNTG Take A Trip Mix)

Late Nite Tuff Guy has just released his latest remix online - a mere two hours ago! The Australian dj/ producer has just remixed the Talking Heads classic single 'Burning Down The House' from their 1983 album 'Speaking In Tongues'. The addition of the word 'acid' in the title tells us exactly where this remix is headed - and I love it... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ Classic Cover! A Camp!

SummersRadio™ Classic Cover! A Camp - 'Us And Them'

It's 12/12/12! As I write this the '12/12/12 Concert for Sandy Relief' continues live at Madison Square Garden in New York City. The line up is a mixed sac - largely focused on classic rock artists. I've watched a few enjoyable performances - muted some others immediately upon hearing their introduction - and if the rumours are true the thought of Paul McCartney fronting Nirvana later on is a bit unsettling.

So I don't feel particularly compelled to feature any of the artist's playing tonight per se - but while watching the legendary Roger Waters perform 'Us And Them' I was reminded of this excellent cover!

                             

A Camp is the side project of Nina Persson of the recently reunited Swedish band The Cardigans. The trio have released two full length albums so far - as well as 2009's 'Covers' EP which features the band covering David Bowie ('Boys Keep Swinging'), Pink Floyd and Grace Jones ('I've Done It Again').

Nina's vocals are incredible as always - I love it when she sings the line 'Out of my way it's a busy day, and I've got things on my mind'... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Remix + Free Download! Stars!

SummersRadio™ New Remix + Free Download! Stars - 'Backlines' (Eight And A Half Remix)/ 'The Theory Of Relativity' (Diamond Rings Remix)

Montreal's Stars have just released a new remix of their single 'Backlines' online! 'Backlines' is the third single released from the band's sixth full length album called 'The North' which was released in September on ATO Records (available on itunes).

The band (who are currently touring Europe) also just announced their 2013 North American tour today! They'll return to Vancouver after opening for Metric last month to headline their own shows in April with two shows (the first is all ages) at the Commodore on the 6th. You can check out these and other upcoming dates in Australia and Southeast Asia here: http://www.youarestars.com/shows/

This 'Eight And A Half Remix' of 'Backlines' trades the guitars in for more upfront keyboards that somehow manage to make singer Amy Millan's voice sound even more beautiful. If this remix is to your liking you can download a copy for free from the band's Soundcloud page m'here: http://soundcloud.com/youarestars/backlines-eight-and-a-half

Enjoy...!



Bonus Track! Stars have a fine remix of 'The North's first single 'The Theory Of Relativity' available as a free download on Soundcloud as well - this is the 'Diamond Rings Remix'... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Remix + Free Download! Radiohead! Jeremy Hills!

SummersRadio™ New Remix + Free Download! Radiohead - 'Everything In Its Right Place' (Jeremy Hills End Of The World Remix)

Jeremy Hills is a producer from Paris who's just released a new remix of Radiohead's 'Everything In Its Right Place' online! Although never released as a single the opening track from Radiohead's 'Kid A' album has been remixed many times since it's release in 2000. As is often the case with remixes some have been great and some have been disastrous, but this new one is one of the better ones.

                   

Hills punches up the original nicely to make it suitable for dancing to until the end of the world and if this remix is to your liking he's made it available as a free download on Soundcloud here: http://soundcloud.com/jeremyhills/radiohead-everything-in-its
(or simply click on the download arrow below)

SummersRadio™ New Music! Guy J & Sahar Z!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Guy J & Sahar Z - '7.11' (Original Mix)

John Digweed has just released a massive new 4 cd set called 'Live In London'! The package features over 50 songs across four cd's, six pieces of vinyl, and as a 59 track download. The cd and vinyl sets are available from Bedrock's website here: http://www.bedrock.org.uk/ and the download is available at both itunes and Beatport.

There's clearly plenty of great tunes to choose from but since Guy J released one of my favourite songs of 2011 (http://summersradio.blogspot.ca/2011/12/summersradio-new-music-guy-j.html) naturally I was drawn to his new track with Sahar Z first. The two Tel Aviv artists/ producers deliver quite a journey on '7.11' - the song features so many amazing sounds - my highest expectations were perhaps even exceeded... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music + Free Download! Chromatics!

SummersRadio™ New Music + Free Download! Chromatics - 'Ceremony'

Portland's Chromatics have just released a new song online - a cover of New Order's 'Ceremony'! 'Ceremony' was written by Joy Division but after Ian Curtis' suicide the song was released as the first single from the newly renamed band - as New Order - in 1981.

                   

The Chromatics Johnny Jewel released a new mix on Soundcloud this week called 'Black & White/ A Mix For Autumn' which features the band covering 'Ceremony' - along with special guest Ida No from Glass Candy on guitar.

If this cover is to your liking you can download the individual song for free courtesy of Stereogum here: http://stereogum.com/1213951/chromatics-ceremony-new-order-cover/mp3s/ or as part of the full 'Black & White...' mix m'here: http://soundcloud.com/johnnyjewel/black-and-white-autumn-mix

This is quite an interesting cover - on one hand it's quite faithful to the original - but at the same time it's also a slower, dreamier, rather romantic take on the song... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Remix! Cherrymoon Trax! Harry Axt!

SummersRadio™ New Remix! Cherrymoon Trax - 'House Of House' (Harry Axt Heavy Breakdown Remix)

Berlin's Harry Axt has just released a new EP called 'Harry Axt Pres. Bonzai Reworks 2012'! The three track EP features remixes of two of the Belgian label Bonzai's early releases from 1994 - including a remix of Yves Deruyter's 'Calling Earth' and two remixes of Cherrymoon Trax's 'House Of House'. It's released on the Kiddaz.FM label and it's currently available exclusively on Beatport: http://www.beatport.com/#release/harry-axt-pres-bonzai-reworks-2012/1006094

                   
The 'Harry Axt Heavy Breakdown Remix' contains all the elements of the classic original version of 'House Of House', but while the original has a frenetic almost robotic feel to it at times this rework has a more free flowing spaced out funky vibe to it... Enjoy!

The 'Make It Mine' EP will be released on Dec. 10th and it features the title track, the previously unreleased songs 'Live Electronics', 'What Goes On' (BBC 6 Session) and this remix of 'Drifting Deeper' by Richard Fearless from Death In Vegas.

                    

The EP will be available as a download and also on limited 12" clear vinyl which you can pre-order here: http://www.roughtrade.com/site/shop_detail.lasso?search_type=sku&sku=357427 or on black vinyl from Heavenly's website here: http://heavenlyrecordings.com/emporium/ and you can keep up with the band on Facebook m'here: http://www.facebook.com/toy.band

First up is the 'Richard Fearless Remix' of the album track 'Digging Deeper' - Fearless takes the already joyously trippy instrumental tune and adds more bass and spaced out guitar and keyboard effects. The resulting remix reminds me that it's nearly time to work on my year end best lists... Enjoy!



This is the (a-side of the) new single 'Make It Mine'... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! YUS!

SummersRadio™ New Music! YUS - 'Nowadays'

Ahh Sundays - perhaps the best day to just chill and listen to music - and this song from YUS fits this mood perfectly! Youceff Kabal aka YUS (pronounced you-ss) is a musician from Phoenix, Arizona who's set to release his second album in 2013. 'Nowadays' is the first single - it's released on his own Manneken Records label - and it's available as a download now on Bandcamp: http://yusyusyus.bandcamp.com/track/nowadays

YUS seems like a very down to earth individual - he lists petting cats under his band interests and notes his Mom and seasons as some of his influences on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/yusnotyus#!/yusnotyus

'Nowadays' is a dreamy love song featuring heavenly backing vocals over a trip hop beat that drifts along beautifully... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Jay Lumen!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Jay Lumen - 'Acidized Love' (Original Mix)

Budapest's Jay Lumen has released a new EP called 'That Side'! The EP features three tracks - the title track, a song called 'Late Nite Fun' and 'Acidized Love'. It's released on the Amsterdam label Bitten and it's currently available exclusively on Beatport: http://www.beatport.com/#release/that-side/994498

As an acid house/ techno lover naturally I was intrigued by the title 'Acidized Love' and while soulful acid house is perhaps a term not often heard, I reckon it best describes this uplifting number... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Tom Hades & Soren Aalberg!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Tom Hades & Soren Aalberg - 'Pink, Duim, Wijsvinger' (Original Mix)/ 'Alphabet' (Original Mix)

Belgium's Tom Hades and Denmark's Soren Aalberg have just released a new EP called 'Alphabet'! The 'Alphabet EP' features three tracks - 'Pink, Duim, Wijsvinger', the original mix of title track, plus a remix of it from Stanny Franssen. It's released on the Phobiq label and it's currently available exclusively on Beatport: http://www.beatport.com/#release/alphabet-ep/1001046

'Pink, Duim, Wijsvinger' is the first song on the EP and like yesterday's post from Dax J it's multi-layered fantastically produced monster of a tune... Enjoy!



'Alphabet' is the title track - which recites the alphabet (with some trippy vocal effects of course) over a great hypnotic groove.  Now that may seem simplistic at first - but interestingly it got me thinking back to a time when I was learning it - it's just funny to think that we were once so small. And hey if you know any toddlers you could play this when they're around to help educate them - they could subliminally learn and practice the alphabet - whilst you turn them on to awesome techno at the same time... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Dax J!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Dax J - 'Chapter 2' (Original Mix)

London's Dax J has just released a new EP called 'Spinning Of House'! The 'Spinning Of House' EP features four different songs - the rather housey title track and three other rather techno tunes. It's released on the Natural Rhythm label and it's currently available exclusively on Beatport: http://www.beatport.com/#release/spinning-of-house/996161

You can learn more about Dax J - who also co-owns the EarToGround Records label (http://eartoground.co.uk/) on Facebook m'here: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Dax-J/108457863056#!/pages/Dax-J/108457863056

Here's one of his profile pics: (meow!)

                       

It's the EP's second track called 'Chapter 2' that is most to my liking here. The production is remarkable - with so much depth and so many layers of sound this one is best played loud... Enjoy!



I totally love this song but something about the sound on the above video seems a titch off - like it's ever so slightly muffled or something. Whenever there are multiple posts of a song on Youtube or Soundcloud I'll check them all out. While there are other factors to consider such as the artwork and who's posted it (the artist or label themselves vs say some illegal download site) naturally I want to find the one with the best sound. Let's face it - there's no shortage of craptacular uploads out there.

There was only one post of the full length version of 'Chapter 2' though - so I've also decided to post this edited clip from the master recording posted by Natural Rhythm on Soundcloud - so you can compare the clarity for yourself.

My plan is to buy it from Beatport as soon I finish this post and then burn it on cd and play it on my home stereo (which blows the puny computer speakers away) for maximum sound enjoyment... :)

SummersRadio™ New Music! Junkie XL Featuring Curt Smith!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Junkie XL Featuring Curt Smith - 'When Is Enough Not Enough'

Tom Holkenborg aka Junkie XL has just released his new studio album called 'Synthesized' this week! 'Synthesized' is the Dutch musician's sixth album - it includes twelve tracks and it's released on Vancouver's Nettwerk label. The album (available now on itunes) features a number guest collaborators including Datarock, Tommie Sunshine, Isis Salam, and Curt Smith from Tears For Fears.

As one half of Tears For Fears Curt is known as the vocalists on some of their biggest singles including 'Mad World', 'Pale Shelter' and 'Everybody Wants To Rule The World'. 'When Is Enough Is Not Enough' is the fifth track on 'Synthesized' and I reckon it would be a fine choice as the next single - with remixes of course... Enjoy!

L.A.'s Sound Remedy has just released his latest remix online - of Wolf Alice's 'Leaving You'! Wolf Alice are a trio from London who've "ravaged from da depths of hell dey came 2 reek havoc on mankind wiv killer riffs n headbangin harmonies". I like this photo they posted on Facebook http://www.facebook.com/wolfalicemusic#!/wolfalicemusic when they reached 666 fans:

                   

Despite their ferocious appearance they don't sound evil though - singer Ellie Rowsell's vocal harmonies are actually quite lovely.

SummersRadio™ Classic Mashup! Nine Inch Nails! The Beatles!

SummersRadio™ Classic Mashup!  Nine Inch Nails vs The Beatles - 'Come Closer Together' (DJ Zebra Bootleg)/ Wings - 'Hi Hi Hi'

In just one hour I shall be leaving to see a legend perform at B.C. Place - Sir Paul McCartney! He's only played in Vancouver once previously -  the first time that The Beatles played in Canada almost 50 years ago - on August 22nd, 1964 at the Empire Stadium. Their set lasted less than half an hour but tonight's show is rumoured to be close to three hours long!

This flawless bootleg of Nine Inch Nails 1994 single 'Closer' vs The Beatles 1969 single 'Come Together' first appeared around 2004. It was created by Paris's DJ Zebra (http://www.zebramix.fr/category/musique/) who's recorded over 500 mashups since 2001... Enjoy!



Bonus Track! I commend McCartney for supporting the legalization of marijuana over the years. He's had several well publicized run ins with the law for possession - after spending ten days in a Tokyo jail in 1980 he was quoted as saying "cannabis is ... less harmful than rum punch, whiskey, nicotine and glue, all of which are perfectly legal" and in 1997 he said "People are smoking pot anyway and to make them criminals is wrong".

I think it's a bit of an embarrassment that two U.S. states (Washington and Colorado) recently legalized it for recreational use before British Columbia has - but our time will come soon enough.

'Hi Hi Hi' was released with Wings in 1972 - and I reckon the opening line 'Well when I met you at the station you were standing with a bootleg in your hand' fits well with the track above... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Electric Rescue!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Electric Rescue - 'Change' (Original Mix)/ 'Certaines Apparences' (Original Mix)

Paris's Antoine Husson aka Electric Rescue has just released a new EP called 'Change Of Appearance'! The six track EP includes the original mixes of 'Change', 'Certaines Apparences' and 'Tilou' along with a dj tool for each song. It's released by SCI-TEC Digital Audio and it's currently available exclusively on Beatport: http://www.beatport.com/#release/change-of-appearance-ep/989433

'Change' is rather like a semi-subliminal motivational tape disguised as an energetic techno stomper - it's full of win... Enjoy!



The second song on the EP 'Certaines Apparences' prepares you for lift off not just once - or twice - but thrice! Enjoy...

SummersRadio™ New Music! J&S Project!

SummersRadio™ New Music! J&S Project - 'No Budy' (Original Mix)/ 'Prongo Virus' (Original Mix)

Antonio Smaldone aka J&S Project has just released a new EP called 'Red Line'! The three track EP features the original mixes of the title track as well as the songs 'No Budy' and 'Prongo Virus'. It's released on the Frequenza label and it's currently available exclusively on Beatport: http://www.beatport.com/#release/red-line-ep/995120

Like Luigi Madonna, J&S Project also hails from southern Italy (Naples) and their new EP's suggest that this may very well be a hotbed for very well produced techno! This is the second track on the 'Red Line' EP called 'No Budy' - it has a steady build that keeps kicking it up to the next level whilst surrounding you with a bevy of sonic delights... Enjoy!



The third track on the EP called 'Prongo Virus' also features a great build and a wonderful array of spacey sounds - so I thought I'd post it as well... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Luigi Madonna - 'Rocco & Maredo' (Original Mix)/ 'Loverdose' (Original Mix)

Caserta, Italy's Luigi Madonna has just released a stunning new EP called 'Loverdose'! The four track EP features the original title track, a remix from Sian, and the songs 'Rocco & Maredo' and 'International A.G.A.'. It's released on the Analytictrail label and it's currently available exclusively on Beatport: http://www.beatport.com/#release/loverdose/993073

I highly recommend all four tracks here - they're all postworthy - but I shall choose just two of them to lure you into your own musical 'Loverdose'! Just to prove how solid this EP is I'll begin not with the title track but with the third song on the EP - I don't know who 'Rocco & Maredo' are but if this is the kind of music they listen to I want to party with them... Enjoy!



This is the hypnotic and impeccably produced title track... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Phil Kieran!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Phil Kieran - 'Ghetto Face Place Space' (Original Mix)

Belfast's Phil Kieran has just released a new EP called 'I Can't Go On'! The two song EP features the title track and a song called 'Ghetto Face Place Space'. It's released on Tiga's sub-label Twin Turbo and it's available now on itunes and Beatport (cheaper on itunes).

                    

The title track 'I Can't Go On' is a fine acid tinged tune in it's own right - but 'Ghetto Face Place Space' is just far too ginormous to be contained on a b-side! I reckon I listened to at least 300 songs in the last 24 hours trying to figure out which one to post - but this one stood out well above the rest. It reminds me of the first time I heard other club classics the likes of Daft Punk's 'Da Funk', the 'Timo Maas Mix' of 'Dooms Night' by Azzido Da Bass and the 'Mylo Remix' of Freeform Five's 'No More Conversations'.

If there's any musical justice on this planet 'Ghetto Face Place Space' should be huge - the kind of track worthy of being played peak time this New Year's Eve - the one that trips everyone out :) There's no need to wait until then though... Enjoy!

The 'Gravitational Arch Of 10' (Magnetic Gravity Arc Suite) was released on a cd maxi single in the U.S. in '93 which featured seven remixes seamlessly stitched together to create an epic 35 plus minute version of the song - that features some wonderful acid techno bits as well! The 'Magnetic Gravity Arch Suite' includes remixes from John Acquaviva and Mark Gage himself - here's the full tracklisting:
