Black Asteroid - 'Metal' (Original Mix)/ 2 Frenchmen - 'Black Planet' (Save The Planet Mix)/ Afrika Bambaata Featuring Gary Numan - 'Metal'
Black Asteroid have just released a new EP called 'Metal'! New York's Bryan Black is half of the duo Motor and aka Black Asteroid on his solo releases. His new EP features four tracks - the title song plus two remixes as well as a song called 'Turbine'. It's released on the Electric Deluxe label and it's currently available exclusively on Beatport: http://www.beatport.com/release/metal/1268825
'Metal' is a hypnotic industrial/ techno hybrid that has potential to become a classic track... Enjoy!
Classic Bonus Track! 'Metal' reminded me of this classic rave tune from 1991 - 2 Frenchman's 'Black Planet' - which samples another classic - The B-52's new wave single from 1979 'Planet Claire'. This is the 'Save The Planet Mix'... Enjoy!
More 'Metal'! Black Asteroid's 'Metal' track also reminded me of another new wave classic with the same name from Gary Numan - which was the b-side to his 1979 single 'Cars' in North America. This nicely produced version is from Afrika Bambaata's 2004 album 'Dark Matter: Moving At The Speed Of Light' that features Numan himself as well as MC Chatterbox - who nicks Blondie... Enjoy!
SummersRadio™ New Remixes + Free Downloads! Depeche Mode vs Motor - 'Personal Man Made Jesus Machine'/ New Order - 'Blue Monday' (Behind The Wheel Remix)
One of the things I like about doing this blog is the excitement that comes with tracking the page views - and what parts of the world people are looking and listening from. I've always been a bit of a numbers freak - from making my own weekly Top 50 song charts when I was about 11 (because they were better than the existing ones of course!) to a general interest in city populations and other such things. You may have noticed that I often post at certain times as well - 1:11, 11:11, 3:33 - and of course 4:20 is a popular one here in Vansterdam - as some people occasionally call our beautiful city! :)
Anyway, sometime tonight or in the wee hours of the morning the blog will hit a bit of a milestone in the all-time views so far department. I won't give away numbers at this time - not until I hit the millions - but it's a healthy start for 16 official months on the world wide web. And how shall we celebrate this achievement? Well with music of course - and some bonus free downloads as well!
Special thanks to each and every one of you who's viewed SummersRadio™ - and to our biggest supporting countries/ areas - Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, Denmark, the Netherlands, France, Russia, Hungary, Malaysia, and Brazil - Cheers! ♥ Please tell your friends and loved ones about it too! ♥
Andy Motke aka Dominatrix RMX is a producer from 'a small town' in Germany who appears to be a bit a of Depeche Mode fan. In fact he has 100 songs posted on Soundcloud - all of them either Depeche Mode remixes, or mashups that feature the band! You can check out more of them here: http://soundcloud.com/dominatrix-1
Today we shall feature his two latest mashups/ remixes - starting with this one - 'Personal Man Made Jesus Machine', which is a mashup of the new Motor single 'Man Made Machine' that features Martin L. Gore on vocals. I featured the original track in December (which you can revisit here: http://summersradio.blogspot.com/2011/12/summersradio-new-music-motor-featuring.html) and mentioned how it resembles DM's hit 'Personal Jesus'. Thus it comes as no surprise that another massive Mode fan has mashed them up together.
This is Dominatrix RMX's new mashup of the two songs which he lists as Depeche Motor Mode - 'Personal Man Made Jesus Machine' - and if the song is to your liking you can download a copy for free on his Soundcloud page here: http://soundcloud.com/dominatrix-1/depeche-motor-mode-personal Enjoy!
This is another new mashup from Dominatrix RMX - of New Order's 'Blue Monday' and Depeche Mode's 'Behind The Wheel' - which is also available as a free download here: http://soundcloud.com/dominatrix-1/new-order-blue-monday-behind (or simply click on the download icon below)
This is his 'Behind The Wheel Remix' of New Order's club classic 'Blue Monday'... Enjoy!
SummersRadio™ New Music! Motor featuring Martin L. Gore - 'Man Made Machine' (official video)/ (Black Asteroid Remix) Motor have just released their new single - and it features the vocals of Depeche Mode's Martin L. Gore! Motor are a London based duo consisting of France's OlyMotor, and Bryan Black who is from the U.S. Although primarily a techno act, they're new album (their fourth) is going to be a bit different, as it will be a vocal driven electronic album. Besides Martin L. Gore the album will also feature the vocals of another electronic legend - Gary Numan - as well as Douglas McCarthy (Nitzer Ebb), and Billy Ray Martin (Electribe 101) among others.
'Man Made Machine' is the first official single and video from the as yet untitled forthcoming new album - and it's been released as a four track EP which is currently available exclusively on Beatport. http://www.beatport.com/#release/man-made-machine-ep/847683
The EP features the 'Original Extended Mix', plus remixes from Radio Slave, Chris Liebing, and Black Asteroid (an alias of Motor themselves). First up we have the official video - which is an edited version of the original. Not surprisingly the track sounds rather like Depeche Mode (particularly their hit 'Personal Jesus') as any vaguely electronic song featuring Gore on vocals will. (If you didn't catch the post on Martin Gore's new project VCMG with Vince Clarke earlier this month you can do so here: http://summersradio.blogspot.com/2011/12/summersradio-new-music-vcmg-vince.html)
Martin sounds a bit different than usual here though - he's singing deeper which gives the song a darker feel - this is the official video for Motor's new single 'Man Made Machine'... Enjoy!
This is the 'Black Asteroid Remix' of 'Man Made Machine'... Enjoy!
