Royksopp & Robyn are releasing a new EP/ mini-album next week called 'Do It Again'! The 'Do It Again' EP features five tracks - 'Monument', 'Sayit', 'Do It Again', 'Every Little Thing' and 'Inside The Idle Hour Club' - and all five tracks were written by the threesome.
When I heard the first single 'Do It Again' I found it to be a bit too Top 40/ radio friendly sounding for my liking - but then the very next track on the EP - 'Sayit' - goes in the other direction - as it was clearly made for the clubs and underground techno lovers.
This is the fantastic new video for 'Say It' - featuring a talking dog, a dancing chicken and so much more... Enjoy!
SummersRadio™ New Music! Royksopp - 'Daddy's Groove'
Royksopp have chosen the tracks and mixed the latest installment of the 'Late Night Tales' series! 'Late Night Tales: Royksopp' is released on June 16th and it will feature 19 tracks from artists including Vangelis, Thomas Dolby and This Mortal Coil.
As always the compilation includes a brand new exclusive track from the curator - Royksopp open their set with a new song called 'Daddy's Groove' - a soothing laid back tune that sets the mood nicely... Enjoy!
SummersRadio™ New Music + Free Downloads! Royksopp - 'Shores Of Easy'/ The Irrepressibles - 'In This Shirt' (RYXP Edit) Norway's Royksopp are giving away free presents! These presents come in the form of two free downloads from their official website - and they're not being stingy - the two songs combined (one original tune and one remix) clock in at nearly 25 minutes of quality music!
First up is a brand new ambient/ techno Royksopp track called 'Shores Of Easy' which the band says is 'best served when calm' - although even if you didn't feel that way initially the song will certainly soothe you into such a state. They describe it as 'a perfect soundtrack to that borderline state between being awake and being asleep – the state where everything seems possible.' They also mention that this song is not indicitive of what their fifth album will sound like - although I wouldn't mind at all if it was!
Both this song and the remix posted further below are available as a free download from Royksopp's official website here: http://royksopp.com/track-of-the-moment
This is 'Shores Of Easy'... Enjoy!
And here's your other present - Royksopp's remix of The Irrepressibles 'In This Shirt'. The Irrepressibles are a ten member 'orchestral ensemble' from London that released their debut album called 'Mirror Mirror' last year. They just officially released an EP for 'In This Shirt' earlier this month - which features this remix from Royksopp - as well as remixes from Hercules & Love Affair and Zero 7.
SummersRadio™ New Remix! Depeche Mode - 'Puppets' (Royksopp Remix) It's been over 3 weeks since I posted the first new 2011 remixes to surface from Depeche Mode's 'Remixes 2' album, which is due out on June 6th.
Another one of the new 2011 remixes has shown up online this week - a remix of 'Puppets' from their very first album 'Speak & Spell'. 'Speak & Spell' was released in 1981 and is their only album to feature Vince Clarke as a member of the band. Clarke wrote most of the songs on the record, but then departed that same year to form Yazoo with Alison Moyet (and later Erasure with Andy Bell in 1985).
This new remix is from Norway's Royksopp... Enjoy!
