SummersRadio™ Classic Remix! Men Without Hats!

SummersRadio™ Classic Remix! Men Without Hats - 'The Safety Dance' (Extended Club Mix) Montreal's Men Without Hats have embarked on their first tour in two decades - and they're performing at Venue here in Vancouver tonight! They announced their 'Dance If You Want Tour' shortly after their successful appearance at this year's South By Southwest Music Festival in March.

'The Safety Dance' was released in North America in 1982 and a year and a half later in the U.K. - it was a top 10 hit in both the U.S. & the U.K. - as well as in over 25 other countries! This is the original 'Extended Club Mix' from the North American 12" single (a different remix was released in the U.K.). The video was shot in the village of West Kington, which is near Bath in southwest England. Few video's are as fun as this one - and a fan has re-edited the original clip to fit this extended version... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Remix + Free Download! The Bangles/ Bassnectar!

SummersRadio™ New Remix + Free Download! The Bangles - 'Walk Like An Egyptian' (Bassnectar's 2003 Remix) Lorin Ashton is from Santa Cruz California and is better known as Bassnectar and he has an interesting story behind this song... "A few hours after hearing the news that Egypt was becoming a democracy I was sitting on a plane next to my buddy Tamer, who is Egyptian, and the joy in his face was electrifying. He was beaming, and I thought maybe it would be fun to dust off this old tune and huck it out into vapor space".

"This was a song I loved as a child, and something I started working on back in 2002. I called it the 2003 remix because I think that is when I actually finished it, but of course I never released it; just kept it as a secret weapon and bootleg. (I love the whistling part in the middle.)"

The Bangles are an all female band from Los Angeles - and 'Walk Like An Egyptian' was a world wide number one hit from their 'Different Light' album which was released in 1986. The band is currently preparing for a summer concert tour (dates are still to be announced) and will be playing the 25th anniversary of the SXSW Music Festival in Austin Texas in March!
