Both tracks on this EP are great but I'm a bit partial to the slightly darker b-side 'Foil'... Enjoy!
The full length 'Tim Schroeder Remix of 'The Age Of Love' by The Age Of Love is released on February 5th on Tiger Records - who've posted this full length preview on Soundcloud today. His new remix has a different feel than any previous remixes - a pensiveness to it... Enjoy!

According to their label Modular Recordings 'Goodbye Future' 'is the first of a series of singles for The Presets across the coming
year' although there's no mention of a new album. The band will also be touring extensively in 2014 - including European summer festival dates - followed by a return to North America.

'Kong' is a refreshing romp reminiscent of The Cure and Pavement at their most uplifting... Enjoy!

Poland's Umba has just released a new album called 'Dim'! 'Dim' features eleven tracks, it's released on the Paris label B.YRSLF Division - and it's available now on iTunes.
I had to find a suitable enough tune to follow yesterday's mind altering single from Drumcell - and after a lengthy search I present to you... Umba. As a bonus Umba has decided to give away one of the album's standout tracks as a free download!
SummersRadio™ New Music! Drumcell - 'Speak Silence' (Original Mix)

I quite like the cover art:
I was actually going to feature one of the remixes today, but none of them are quite as menacing or as trippy as the original so here's the 'Original Mix'... Enjoy!
SummersRadio™ New Music + Free Download! Claptone - 'Control'

SummersRadio™ New Music + Free Download! Digitalism - 'Fahrenheit 32'
Digitalism has just released a new song online called 'Fahrenheit 32'! The German duo note on Facebook that 'Fahrenheit 32' marks a new direction for them - and they've decided to give this new song away as a free download 'as a peace offering for what's about to come'. So I reckon that we can expect more club music and less poppy tracks from them, like some of those from their last album - 2011's 'I Love You Dude'.
'Fahrenheit 32' totally has an old school house feel to it - and if it's to your liking you can download a copy for free on Soundcloud here: https://soundcloud.com/digitalism_official/fahrenheit-32 (or simply click on the download arrow below)

'Blue Moon' is a pleasant breezy tune about solitude... Enjoy!
SummersRadio™ New Music + New Video! Damon Albarn - 'Everyday Robots'
Damon Albarn is releasing his first proper solo album called 'Everyday Robots' on April 28th! The Blur/ Gorillaz frontman just posted his new song and video for the title track online today.
'Everyday Robots' finds Albarn in his chilled/ spaced out mode - declaring that we are the robots - lost and alone. It's a nice hypnotic shuffle with a colourful video (directed by Aitor Throup) in tow... Enjoy!
SummersRadio™ New Music! Sebastien Bouchet - 'Broken Heart'
France's Sebastien Bouchet has released a new EP called 'Speicher 77'! 'Speicher 77' is the latest release in the 'Speicher' series - which began in 2001 on the Kompakt label as a means of tying up some loose ends.
I love how Kompakt describes Bouchet's sound: "it's still the same undercurrent of deranged minimalism running alongside a perfectly executed club framework and counterbalancing the occasional epic outburst."
'Broken Heart' is the b-side on Bouchet's new EP - and it's a very cinematic and emotional track that tells the torrid story without words... Enjoy!

It's currently available exclusively on Beatport: http://www.beatport.com/release/thats-over!/1220466
Over (the label) are setting their standards very high with this first release. As it's Saturday evening, I was looking for something a titch rowdy. 'Over' (the song) is a monster stomper featuring mind altering breakdowns... Enjoy!

Swedish duo Minilogue have just released a new EP called 'The Island Of If'! 'The Island Of If' EP features three tracks - the title song, 'Nothing Is Lost' and 'What Is There To Protect' - and it clocks in at just over 43 epic minutes.

L.A.'s LUXXURY have just released their latest remix (the 8th in a series) online today! This time LUXXURY take on the Eagles' classic 'Hotel California'. Now if you're a regular follower you may be experiencing déjà vu - I did feature a cool new remix of 'Hotel California' just last month (http://summersradio.blogspot.ca/2013/12/summersradio-new-remix-free-download_2.html) . However this remix - while also influenced by synth pop - has a completely different vibe.
I love the vocoder on this remix. The last line of the song 'you can never leave' - has never sounded so final. It's the Eagles reimagined as aliens in 2077... Enjoy!
David Douglas is releasing a new EP called 'Higher' on January 27th! David Douglas is an artist/ producer from Utrecht, Netherlands and 'Higher' is the first single from his forthcoming new album due out later this year.
