SummersRadio™ New Video + Concert News + More! The Presets!

SummersRadio™ New Video + Concert News + Free Remix Download Link! The Presets - 'Youth In Trouble' (full song/ video)

The Presets have just posted the official video for their new single online today! Last week we featured the teaser videos for the song - today we have the full song and complete video. 'Youth In Trouble' is the first single from their much anticipated forthcoming third album called 'Pacifica' which will be released on September 14th.

Their label Modular Recordings just premiered the video directed by New York visual artist Yoshi Sodeoka this afternoon. So far it's only had 303 views but I reckon that will rise pretty chop chop as both the song and video are fantastic. The announcement came in an e-mail that describes the tune as 'a never-ending, undulating slice of face-melting techno' - and I concur.

'Youth In Trouble' will be available for purchase on itunes tomorrow - along with a three track remix EP featuring remixes by Green Velvet, Alex Metric, and The Finger Prince & Light Year. As a bonus you can get a free download of 'The Finger Prince & Light Year Remix' now by signing up for the Modular Newsletter here: http://www.modularpeople.com/subscribe/s/?cf=eyJhcnRpc3RzX3RoZV9wcmVzZXRzIjoxLCJkb3dubG9hZF9jb2RlIjoidGhlcHJlc2V0c3lpdHJlbWl4In0=&wt=ZG93bmxvYWRfdGhlX3ByZXNldHNfcmVtaXg=

And if a new song, new video, and free download isn't enough exciting Presets news for you - the band have also just announced a series of North American dates in October that includes a show in Vancouver! The band will be performing at The Commodore on October 15th - tickets go on sale this Saturday at 10am at Ticketmaster: http://www.ticketmaster.ca/event/110048D7833110C0?artistid=1103261&majorcatid=10001&minorcatid=60

I saw them at The Commodore on their last tour and it was amazing both sonically and visually, so if you're a fan I highly recommend checking them out. And now - here's the new video for 'Youth In Trouble' - I love this song... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Maxime Dangles - 'My Boo' (Original Mix)/ 'Jarten' (Original Mix)

Maxime Dangles is an artist/ dj/ producer from Valence, France who's just released a new EP called 'Hold Up'. It features five original songs - and they're pretty much all techno monsters! The EP is released on the Bedrock label - and it's currently available exclusively on Beatport: http://www.beatport.com/#release/hold-up-ep/927831

The EP is very solid, filled with mind altering productions. After a few listens this track is definitely my favorite so far - this is the third song on the EP called 'My Boo'... Enjoy!



This is another mind blowing joyride from the 'Hold Up' EP - this is track two called 'Jarten'... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Remix! Unkle featuring Nick Cave - 'Money And Run' (16 Bit Lolitas Remix)

Amsterdam duo 16 Bit Lolitas have just released a new album featuring a new remix of Unkle's track with Nick Cave called 'Money And Run'! 'Supermarkt' features twelve tracks - ten new 16 Bit Lolitas originals plus this remix - as well as a full 73 minute continuous mix. It's released on the Bits and Pieces label and it's currently available exclusively on Beatport: http://www.beatport.com/#release/supermarkt/928214

16 Bit Lolitas transform the driving guitar based indie rock track into a nine minute dark electronic epic reminiscent of Underworld during their amazing 'Dubnobasswithmyheadman' period... Enjoy!

Montreal's Stars have just released a new song online called 'The Theory Of Relativity'! The song is the first single from their forthcoming new album called 'The North'. 'The North' is the band's sixth studio album and it will be released on ATO Records on September 4th.

'The Theory Of Relativiy' is one of the band's strongest singles of their career and they've decided to make it available as a free download! If it's to your liking you can get a copy simply by joining their mailing list from their official website here: http://starsthenorth.com/ 

'The Theory Of Relativity' is a sublimely produced synth driven track and although it's distinctly Stars it sounds a bit like The Human League meets MGMT at their finest - and it's also the band's most full on electronic/ dance single to date... Enjoy!

The Presets have just announced details of their new album! The Australian duo are set to release their third album called 'Pacifica' on Modular Recordings on September 14th. The release date has seen some delays and it's been a long four year wait for fans since 2008's excellent 'Apocalypso'. Here's the cover artwork for 'Pacifica':

                       

You can pre-order a copy of the 'Limited Edition Pacifica Deluxe' cd that includes a copy of the release on cd, vinyl and mp3 - as well as a signed lithograph and a hard cover book packaged in a lenticular case from their offical website here: http://pacifica.thepresets.com/

David Byrne is releasing a new album - a collaboration with St. Vincent - in September! The album is called 'Love This Giant' - features twelve tracks - and is released on the 4AD label on September 10th (U.K.)/ 11th (North America).

Tickets go on sale tomorrow (Friday) at Ticketmaster: http://www.ticketmaster.ca/event/110048CED803DC58

This is the first single from the album called 'Who' - and this particular track definitely sounds more like David Byrne/ Talking Heads than St. Vincent. Try not to be too creeped out by the cover art... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ Concert News + Rare Remix! Morrissey!

SummersRadio™ Concert News + Rare Remix! Morrissey - 'First Of The Gang To Die'/ 'Disappointed' (Manchester Mix)

Morrissey has just announced a fall North American tour and tickets go on sale this weekend! The 33 date tour begins October 5th in Boston and wraps up December 8th in Atlantic City. As you may know Morrissey announced in 2006 that he would not be playing any dates in Canada until the annual seal hunt - where up to 350,000 seals are killed each year - is stopped. Sadly this practice continues and it's a disgrace whether you're a vegetarian and animal activist like Morrissey or not. BUT...

                      

The good news is that while Moz is protesting animal cruelty he certainly has not forgotten his Canadian fans - as he's scheduled a few dates in smaller border cities that perhaps wouldn't normally play host to a legendary artist of his stature including Niagara Falls, New York for southern Ontario fans - and Bellingham, Washington for Vancouver fans! He'll be performing at the Mount Baker Theatre on November 10th - tickets go on sale this Saturday (with a pre-sale starting on Thursday if you're a supporting member of the venue) here: http://mountbakertheatre.com/events/2012/morrissey

He doesn't currently have a new album scheduled for release but the venue's website says that he'll be 'performing the greatest hits from his legendary catalog as well as new unreleased songs'! New songs!! To celebrate this announcement I've decided to post a couple of my favorite Morrissey solo tracks - first up we have 'First Of The Gang To Die' from his 2004 comeback album 'You Are The Quarry'... Enjoy!



This is a rare extended remix of one of his greatest b-side songs - 'Disappointed' - which was the flip side to his 'Everyday Is Like Sunday' single from his 1988 debut solo album 'Viva Hate'. This is the 'Manchester Mix'... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Pet Shop Boys!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Pet Shop Boys - 'Invisible'/ 'Here' (PSB New Extended Mix)

Pet Shop Boys have just released a new song online! 'Invisible' is not the first official single, but it is the first new track that the band have posted online from their forthcoming new album called 'Elysium' - their eleventh proper studio album - which will be released in September.

'Invisible' is perhaps the most laid back affair they've ever recorded - featuring lyrics about escaping the spotlight and the joys of solitude and getting older - and although it's not a single they've also made of video for it... Enjoy!



Bonus Track! Here's another song that was never a single - 'Here' is from their 2002 release called err... 'Release'. It so should have been a single so I was pleased when they released the  'PSB New Extended Mix' of it on 'Disco 3' the following year. I love the depth of sincerity in the lyrics:

We all have a dream of a place we belong
The fire is burning and the radio's on
Somebody smiles and it means I love you
but sometimes we don't notice when the dream has come true

You've got a home here
Call it what you want
You've got a home here to return to when you can't face the world and you need some support to succeed
You've got a home

We all make a mess of our lives from time to time
It's part of the process that you stumble as you climb
And if you ever feel the pain is far too big a deal I say with pride
I'll be on your side

You've got a home here
Call it what you want
You've got a home here

You're gonna want it when you can't face the world and you need some support to succeed
You've got a home

This is the 'PSB New Extended Mix' of 'Here'... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™'s 777th Post! New Music! Jon Gurd!

SummersRadio™'s 777th Post! New Music! Jon Gurd - 'The Heat' (Original Mix)

It's our 777th post - hoo-ray! Let's celebrate with some Stoner House™! England's Jon Gurd has released a new EP called 'The Heat'. It features two versions of the title track (the original mix plus a remix from Caytas & Patz) and a song called 'Life In Layers'. It's released on Octopus Records and it's currently available exclusively on Beatport: http://www.beatport.com/#release/the-heat/920022

Jon's biography on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/#!/jongurd/info) describes his productions as "hinging themselves along the spectrum of house and techno" which certainly seems apt here as 'The Heat' is a fine techno/ house hybrid. Octopus Records says "his gravity defying mixture of stun effect bass and big engine drums have catapulted him onto the worlds underground" - I must say that I find the concept of being catapulted underground rather intriguing.

'The Heat' features spoken word lyrics echoing over mysterious vocal loops, driving rhythms - and it even has some fine cowbell... Enjoy!

*update* The full length version of 'The Heat' has been taken off of Youtube, so instead we present these:

Glasgow's Harvey McKay has just released a new EP called 'Pressure' this week! The EP features two tracks - the original mixes of the title track - and a tune called 'Findo Gask'. It's released on the German label Trapez and it's available now on itunes. McKay released one of my favorite electronic/ club tracks of late last year in December called 'Supercell' which you can check out/ revisit m'here: http://summersradio.blogspot.ca/2011/12/summersradio-new-music-harvey-mckay.html

It's the b-side track that's won me over on this new EP - the sublimely spacey 'Findo Gask'. Please note that this is an edit - the full length version is 8:47 - featuring more than twice as much hypnotic greatness... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Ramon Tapia!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Ramon Tapia - 'The Cry' (Original Mix)/ (Secret Cinema Remix)

Belgium's Ramon Tapia has just released a new EP today called 'The Cry'! There's certainly been no shortage of early 80's revivials recently - just in the past two weeks we've had Comon's cover of Trio's 'Da Da Da' (82), Mr. Bizz's remix of Yello's 'Oh Yeah' (85) - and 'The Cry' samples the haunting xylophone hook from Tears For Fears 1983 single 'Change' from their classic debut album 'The Hurting'.

'The Cry' EP features three versions of the track - the 'Original Mix', the 'Deep Mix', and the 'Secret Cinema Remix'. It's released on the Say What? Recordings label and it's currently available exclusively on Beatport: http://www.beatport.com/#release/the-cry-ep/921791

All three versions of 'The Cry' are quite different but equally strong in their own right. I shall feature two of them - first up we have the 'Original Mix'... Enjoy!



This remix is from The Netherlands's Jeroen Verheij aka Secret Cinema - who takes the track in a more techno direction... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Hot Chip!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Hot Chip - 'Don't Deny Your Heart'

Hot Chip release their new album called 'In Our Heads' tomorrow! 'In Our Heads' is the London band's fifth studio album - it features eleven tracks and is released on the Domino label. We featured the first track to surface from the album in March called 'Flutes' http://summersradio.blogspot.ca/2012/03/summersradio-new-music-hot-chip.html.

                     

The first official single from the album is 'Night & Day' but this weekend a couple other new tracks have popped up online. 'Don't Deny Your Heart' is the fifth track on 'In Our Heads' - I like the coupling of the lines 'Don't deny your heart, don't destroy your heart' - of course the two aren't necessarily exclusive. The song has a nice summery vibe to it and I dig the opening vocal samples... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Christian Smith - 'Systemwide' (Original Mix)

Cocoon Recordings have just released their latest compilation called 'Cocoon Compilation L'! Sven Vath founded the German techno/ house label in 2000 and each year they release a new compilation featuring exclusive tracks - this is the twelfth release in the series which began with 'A' in 2000.

                     

'L' features twelve tracks and is available on cd, download, and on 6x12" vinyl from the label's official website here: http://www.cocoon.net/releases/corlp030_cocoon_compilation_l

This is my favourite track thus far from Christian Smith called 'Systemwide' as I love the Giorgio Moroder/ early Dead Or Alive influenced synthesizer sounds... Enjoy!

Istanbul, Turkey's Ahmet Sendil has just released a massive new song called 'You So Strong'! The single is just one track - I reckon because anything else would only pale in comparison. It's released on the 1605 Music Therapy label and it's currently available exclusively on Beatport: http://www.beatport.com/#release/you-so-strong/919974

I haven't quite figured out what the speaker/ guide is saying during this ride yet - but it certainly sounds ominous - prepare yourself for lift off... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Remix + Rare Remix! Yello! Mr. Bizz!

SummersRadio™ New Remix + Rare Remix! Yello - 'Oh Yeah' (Mr. Bizz Remix)/ 'I Love You' (Extended Version)

Mr. Bizz have released a new remix of Yello's classic single 'Oh Yeah'! Switzerland's Yello first released 'Oh Yeah' as a single from their fourth album 'Stella' in 1985. However the song reached the masses the following year when it was used prominently in the classic John Hughes comedy 'Ferris Bueller's Day Off'. It was re-released in 1987 with the addition of a few more lyrics and it was also featured in another popular film called 'The Secret Of My Success' - and it's been used in countless films and television commericals since.

Italian duo Mr. Bizz have just released a remix on Tiger Records and it's currently available exclusively on Beatport: http://www.beatport.com/#release/oh-yeah-2012-remix/919997 

Mr. Bizz use the vocal bits (from the 1987 recording) over a driving hypnotic house groove... Enjoy!



Bonus Track! Yello released quite a string of great electronic/ synthpop singles in the 80's  - and 'I Love You' is one of my favourites. This is the original 'Extended Version' from the 12" single - released in 1983 from their third album 'You Gotta Say Yes To Another Excess'. This version is about two minutes longer than the 'Club Mix' of the song that's currently available on the remastered cd and download... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Giraffage!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Giraffage - 'Feels'/ 'A Bird In Hand'

Giraffage has just released a new song online called 'Feels'! Charlie Yin aka Giraffage is 'just a dude making music' (as he says on his Facebook page http://www.facebook.com/giraffage) from San Francisco. He released his debut full length online in November of last year called 'Comfort' - which is available on Bandcamp here: http://giraffage.bandcamp.com/album/comfort.

                      

'Feels' is a new song set to be included on a new as yet untitled EP that Giraffage hopes to release in August - and like his other recordings it's a dreamy soothing tune featuring lush layered production. As he says on his Soundcloud page 'Turn your speakers up and let love envelop your mind and your body'... Enjoy!



Giraffage is certainly keeping busy as he also released a new EP just last month called 'Pretty Things'. The EP features four tracks and it's also available on Bandcamp here: http://giraffage.bandcamp.com/album/pretty-things-ep

This is the first track on the 'Pretty Things' EP called 'A Bird In Hand'... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Computer Magic!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Computer Magic - 'Everest' (Demo)

Computer Magic have just posted a new song online called 'Everest'! We've featured Brooklyn's Danz aka Computer Magic several times over the past year - she has a beautiful voice, interesting lyrics, and the production on her music is sublime. This is actually just a demo but it sounds like it could easily be the finished product - it has a nice warm quality to it. 

                     

So far Computer Magic have released four EP's - the most recent is 'Orion' which is available on itunes. The three previous EP's: 'Hiding From Our Time', 'Hiding From More Of Our Time' (or 'Hiding II'), and 'Spectronic' are all available as free downloads from the band's official website here: http://thecomputermagic.com/

'Everest' features some pleasantly melancholy synths and Danz's always lovely vocals - and will be included on the band's upcoming full length debut... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Saschienne!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Saschienne - 'Unknown' (Original Mix)/ 'Knopfauge' (Original Mix)

Saschienne are a duo from Berlin consisting of Sascha Funke and Julienne Dessagne. They released their debut album called 'Unknown' in March on the Kompakt label, and they've just released the title track as the first official single. The two track EP features the 'Original Mix' as well as the 'Dixon Mix'.

The title 'Unknown' doesn't mean that the song is without a name - but instead refers to the unknown itself - as the Julienne sings "This Unknown... keeps us together, brings us closer." The duo - who are also married - remind me a bit of Everything But The Girl - if they were perhaps based in Germany instead of England - as their album is an ecelectic mix of electronica and deep house. Julienne's vocals are also reminicent of Mazzy Star's Hope Sandoval on some of her electronic collaborations.

This is the new video for 'Unknown' just released earlier this week... Enjoy!



This is another fine track from their 'Unknown' album called 'Knopfauge'... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Laetitia Sadier!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Laetitia Sadier - 'Find Me The Pulse Of The Universe'/ Atlas Sound - 'Quick Canal'

It's June - time for a summery song! Stereolab's vocalist Laetitia Sadier is releasing her second solo album on July 24th called 'Silencio' - and her label Drag City has just released the first track from it online. 'Find Me The Pulse Of The Universe' is a breezy pop tune quite suitable for soundtracking a sunny summer day - even if it's only in our minds... Enjoy!

                       



Bonus Track! Laetitia Sadier wrote the lyrics and sang on the first single from Atlas Sound's excellent 2009 album 'Logos'. This is the spacey and hypnotic 'Quick Canal' featuring a cool retro-futuristic video from 1958 called 'American Look'... Enjoy!
