SummersRadio™ New Music! Marco Carola!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Marco Carola - 'Groove Catcher' (Martin Buttrich Catcher Remix) Marco Carola is an Italian producer/ dj and he's just released his new 'Groove Catcher' EP! It's out on Richie Hawtin's Minus (or M-nus) record label - which is based in both Berlin and Windsor Ontario.

Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Mark Broom & Mihalis Safras!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Mark Broom & Mihalis Safras - 'Tru Tru' (Paul Ritch Remix) Mark Broom is a dj/ producer from the U.K. and Mihalis Safras is a dj/producer based in Athens, Greece - and they've teamed up to make this mind altering new track called 'Tru Tru'! It's part of their new 4 track EP (the original plus three remixes) called 'Grey' released on the Material label - and it's available on Beatport here: https://www.beatport.com/en-US/html/content/release/detail/320467/grey-ep#app=16fd&a486-index=0

This remix is from Paris's Paul Ritch and it's appropriate that the youtube picture here is of a train track - as this largely instrumental number is about to take you on a journey (as many great songs do) to somewhere even better! I probably listened to parts of 100 different songs tonight, and I was getting a bit discouraged. But then I listened to this song and smiled - because I knew exactly what to post today... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Cut Copy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Cut Copy - 'Need You Now' While I quite liked the Tim Goldsworthy remix of the first single 'Take Me Over' from Cut Copy's forthcoming new album 'Zonoscope' (posted on Dec. 28th http://summersradio.blogspot.com/2010/12/summersradio-new-remix-cut-copy.html) - I wasn't quite as thrilled with the original (posted on Nov. 22nd http://summersradio.blogspot.com/2010/11/summersradio-new-music-cut-copy.html). I just found it a bit too poppy - but now that the album's release has neared (it's out on Feb 8th!) a few more new tracks from the album have surfaced on the interweb. While this album opener 'Need You Now' certainly contains pop elements (holy OMD influence!) this song is more electronic and dancey than 'Take Me Over'... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ Concert News + New Remix + Free Download! Two Door Cinema Club!

SummersRadio™ Concert News + New Remix + Free Download!

If this remix is to your liking you can download a copy free on Soundcloud courtesy of Barrientos himself here: http://soundcloud.com/barrientos/what-you-know-barrientos-remix-two-door-cinema-club   Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Cex!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Cex - 'Secret Monog' (Baconhead Remix) Rjyan Kidwell started his musical project called Cex in 1998 when he was only 16! In 1999 he formed the Tigerbeat6 record label with Miguel Depedro aka Kid 606. He's just released a new EP today called 'Megamuse'. It's has eight tracks - five different songs along with a number of remixes.

His early releases were classified as IDM (Intelligent Dance Music) - this is how the label describes this new EP 'Megamuse is a sexy beast of spaced out IDM/Hip-Hop sped up and played at 11, pumping out Dr. Dre style Cali-love synth melodies over meaty double-time Baltimore club hi-hats and a laid-back 808 groove. While most of his contemporaries were busy installing new plug-ins or trying to make Dubstep, Cex dug deep into his freakiest electrofunk roots to create a whole new musical vocabulary to speak with, born from long nights jamming with high-end FM synths driven by step sequencers and freestyle MPC blasting.'

'Megamuse' is the first single from the forthcoming 'Tiny Creature' album, and this is the second track on the EP - and one of two mixes of the song - this is the Baconhead Remix of 'Secret Monog'... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Fujiya & Miyagi!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Fujiya & Miyagi - 'Universe' Fujiya & Miyagi are a band from Brighton that have just released their new album called 'Ventriloquizzing' in North America today! It's their fourth full length and the first that they've co-produced. This is the final track on the album - and like many of the songs on it - it's kinda spacey and kinda hypnotic... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Remix! Stars On 45!

SummersRadio™ New Remix! Stars On 45 - 'Stars On 45' (Addy Van Der Zwan Remix) Stars On 45 were a Dutch pop act that had a massive hit in 1981 with an album of medleys - the most popular of which were the Beatles numbers. The album hit number one in the U.K. and the top 10 in North America. They've just released a new 4 track remix EP featuring all new 2011 remixes! Truth be told I had a hard time deciding which mix to post as there are several good ones - I liked them all! I was all set to go with Olav Basoski - but then I gave the Addy Van Der Zwan remix another listen - and the fellow Dutchman won me over with the simple '45' vocoder bit at about 2:35 in - I wish they did it more than once - but still - it's kinda cool... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Christoph Andersson!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Christoph Andersson - 'Metropol' Christoph Andersson is a 19 year old musician/ producer from New Orleans. He released the first of four EP's in November called 'Tuxedo', followed by 'Capital' in December - on his own Hurst Recordings label.

This is the original - and it has perhaps the most cheerful sounding keyboard melodies since Frank Mills' piano classic 'Music Box Dancer'... Enjoy!  p.s. you can check out other mixes of 'Metropol' and his other tracks on Soundcloud here: http://soundcloud.com/christoph-andersson and if you'd like to join his Facebook fan page as I have you can do so here: http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=699880219#!/pages/Christoph-Andersson/115404058483943?v=info Cheers!

SummersRadio™ Classic! Company B!

SummersRadio™ Classic! Company B - 'Fascinated' The new Prok & Fitch track 'Yalla' that I posted yesterday samples this song (just for a few seconds at 2:25, then for the entire breakdown at 3:33) - so I thought it a good opportunity to post this original! Company B were a Latin freestyle dance trio that formed in 1986. 'Fascinated' was their first single - first released on an indie label called The Summer in 1986. It became a hit in the Miami area, and then when released by Atlantic in 1987 it became a number one U.S. club smash! Enjoy...

SummersRadio™ Classic! Da Hool!

SummersRadio™ Classic! Da Hool - 'Meet Her At The Love Parade' (Nalin & Kane Remix) There were certain elements of the Geoff M & Terrence T song 'Bang!' that I posted yesterday, that reminded me of this classic - but I couldn't think of the name last night! Well after a good sleep (until 4pm!) I remembered! Frank Tomiczek - better known as Da Hool - is a German dj/producer. 'Meet Her At The Love Parade' was first released in 1996, then re-released in 1997 on the Kosmo Records label where it became a worldwide hit well into '98 selling over six million copies!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Shpongle - 'Before The Big Bang' Shpongle are a duo from the U.K. that make music that's been described as downtempo/ ambient psychedelic trance or 'psybient'.

SummersRadio™ Classic! S'Express!

SummersRadio™ Classic! S'Express - 'Theme From S'Express' Like myself you may have recognized the sample in the Moullinex track below from this 1988 club classic - however this isn't where it originated! As Moullinex mentions on Soundcloud 'And yeah, the sample is blatant.. and No, it's not S'Express... ;)' The horn sample is from a song called 'Is It Love You're After' by Rose Royce from their 1979 album called 'Rose Royce IV: Rainbow Connection'. Rose Royce were a soul/ funk band from Los Angeles and are best known for their title track from the 1976 hit movie 'Car Wash'.

The main force behind S'Express was dj/ producer Mark Moore and although this song is based around the Rose Royce sample, it's just one of 15 songs that were sampled in the 'Theme From S'Express'. The song is considered a classic for both it's use of samples and also because it brought the acid house sound to the masses - reaching number 1 on both the U.K. singles and U.S. club charts. Enjoy this trip...!

SummersRadio™ New Remix! Ladytron!

SummersRadio™ New Remix! Ladytron - 'Ace Of Hz' (Punks Jump Up Remix) I first featured Ladytron's new single 'Ace Of Hz' way back in October when it was first released as part of the FIFA 11 soundtrack. Now it's just been released as an official single with 5 new remixes online today! This is my favorite remix of the lot - by London's Punks Jump Up - it starts out with some housey xylophone/ steel drum type sounds but gradually morphs into this disco/ techno hybrid with some cowbell along for the ride... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Remix! Tiga!

SummersRadio™ New Remix! Tiga - 'Love Don't Dance Here Anymore' (C2 Remix 2) Montreal's Tiga has just released his latest EP on itunes for 'Love Don't Dance Here Anymore' which first appeared on his 2009 album 'Ciao!'. The original album version was produced by Soulwax and this EP features 2 new remixes from Detroit techno legend Carl Craig. The original clocked in at a mere 10 minutes long so it's now been extended to over 12 and 13 minutes! There's also an instrumental version available - in case you haven't noticed itunes is a bit weird when it comes to songs over 8 minutes long - most often making them available as full album only purchases. Such is the case here - but it's quite a deal - as the 3 tracks combined are over 36 minutes long and the 'album' price for all three songs is only $1.99! This version is known as the 'C2 Remix 2'... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Remix! White Lies!

SummersRadio™ New Remix! White Lies - 'Bigger Than Us' (Walls Remix) I first featured White Lies new single back on Nov. 18th, when their new album's release still seemed too far away - but it's out next week! 'Ritual' is their second full length and it's out Monday in the U.K. and Tuesday here in North America. The regular cd contains ten tracks - the itunes download will feature two bonus remixes - although this isn't one of them! This remix will only be available for purchase physically on the limited edition boxed set which contains 2 cd's (one of remixes), six 7" singles and signed artwork! This version is nothing like the original - more spacious and electronic, but still awesome - this is the 'Walls Remix'... Enjoy!

There's an individual contest for each track on the album and each winner receives $1,000 cash - and most likely an official release as Metric is considering releasing a full remix album as well! As one of Metric's biggest fans it's hard to believe that it's been two whole months since I've posted any remixes - so it's certainly time for a new one!

This one is currently sitting in first place for 'Gold Guns Girls' - by Serbian duo RIOT 87 - and I must say it rocks! If this remix is to your liking you can download a copy for free here courtesy of Riot 87: http://www.mediafire.com/?yr7dxw1eaixv56e Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ And now for something completely different! Boney M - 'No More Chain Gang' On Dec. 30th Bobby Farrell - best known as the frontman and vocalist for Boney M - passed away in St. Petersberg Russia. Strangely this was the day after the anniversary of Rasputin's death - the Russian mystic who's story is told in their monster hit 'Rasputin' from 1978 - and in the same city!

Bobby Farrell was born and raised in Aruba - once he finished school he worked as a sailor for 2 years before settling in Norway. From there he went on to the Netherlands where he started djing - which led him to Germany where he met producer Frank Farian. Although Farrell is recognized as the male face of the band it was later revealed that he in fact only sang vocals during live performances, as all the vocals in the studio were performed by producer Frank Farian. Regardless it is Farrell and the three female members of the band that everyone recognizes from their performances, videos and album covers. Rather than post one of their obvious hits I thought that this was a fine opportunity to post one of their underrated songs. 'No More Chain Gang' is an album track from 1979's 'Oceans Of Fantasy' album - the one that came out after 'Nightflight To Venus' that featured the megahits 'Rasputin' and 'Rivers Of Babylon'. What stands out to me on this track is the drumming and the production - such a perfect sound - I'm actually surprised that it hasn't been sampled at some point. There are other posts on youtube with better visuals - but this one is the full version - and it has the best sound - so you can FEEL the drums... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Daughter! + Free Downloads!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Daughter - 'Run' (demo) Daughter is aka Elena Tonra - a 19 year old acoustic/ experimental artist based in London. She's currently unsigned but I doubt she'll stay that way for very long! She's just released a very impressive four track 'Demo EP' online for free. All four songs are really good but I particularly like the opening lines of this one 'While I powder my nose, he will powder his gums And if I try to get close, he is already gone' - this is 'Run' - you can download all four of her new songs here courtesy of Daughter herself: https://fan.musicglue.com/Sale/PromoProducts.aspx?productId=14cb428f-ebd4-4240-890a-c1a902edd6e6  Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ Massive Attack vs Portishead + Free Download!

SummersRadio™ Massive Attack vs Portishead - 'Teardrop On Roads' This mashup by Austin's Jaya Prime stitches together Massive Attack's 'Teardrop' (featuring vocals by Elizabeth Fraser - former vocalist for the Cocteau Twins) and Portishead's 'Roads'! 'Teardrops' is a single from Massive Attack's 1998 release called 'Mezzanine' and 'Roads' is a standout track from Portishead's 1994 debut 'Dummy' - both bands are from Bristol. This seems like more of a medley than a mashup, but that's perhaps because it fits together so seamlessly. If this remix is to your liking you can download a copy here for free courtesy of Jaya Prime himself: http://soundcloud.com/jaya-prime/teardrop-on-roads  Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Gorillaz!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Gorillaz - 'California & The Slipping Of The Sun' This is the second last track on the Gorillaz new 15 song album called 'The Fall' and was recorded in Oakland. Apparently there are plans for a physical release although no date has been set thus far. I'm not sure if this would be a wise decision as a lot of it sounds unfinished - more like a collection of demos than a proper album. I like this song as it starts out quite ambient and gets more dancey towards the end - but even still it seems to end too quickly. You can decide for yourself and check out the entire album from their official website here: http://thefall.gorillaz.com/ Enjoy!

It has been released 'free' to fans - meaning that you can download it legally for free if you're a member of their official fan club - but you must pay to be a member! It was recorded using an iPad - along with a number of additional instruments. This instrumental number called 'Aspen Forest' was partially written in Santa Fe and then finished here in Vancouver...
