SummersRadio™ New Music! Ribn - 'Pancake' Berlin based Stefan Brugesch aka Steve Bug has been dj'ing and producing for 20 years! He founded the deep house label Dessous Recordings in 1998, quickly followed by the Poker Flat Recordings label (current home to Trentemoller) in 1999. Poker Flat have just released their latest label compilation called 'Forward To The Past' - in a 'Back To The Future' style font!
In the words of label boss Steve Bug 'Forward To The Past' is a 'homage to the period between ‚85 and ‚92‘, traversing the heady sounds of Chicago House, Acid, New York House and Early Detroit Techno.' I like the title and the concept. Let's be honest - there's a lot of new music coming out right now that sounds a lot like that particular time period! (I may elaborate on this later today - depending on how many drinks are consumed in the next few hours!) I applaude them for being upfront about it here.
The compilation has 14 tracks - 12 brand new songs plus two remixes of two of those tracks. This is the 4th song on the list by Ribn - a German duo consisting of Manuel Tur and Max Heesen. I really like the production on this one - it's both spacious and spacey - this is 'Pancake'... Enjoy!
SummersRadio™ New Remix! Ellen Allien - 'My Tree' (Ripperton's Backlash Remix) Berlin's Ellen Allien has just released a new EP and remix album! Both are called 'Dust Remixes' and feature remixes of tracks from her seventh studio album 'Dust' which was released last spring, on her on own BPitch Control label - which she founded in 1999. The 'Dust Remixes' album features 12 remixes and the EP features 3 of those. This is the first track on both the album and the EP - 'My Tree' - 'Ripperton's Backlash Remix'... Enjoy!
SummersRadio™ Classic Remix! Moloko - 'Sing It Back' (Mousse T's Feel Love Remix) Yesterday's Mason/ Roisin Murphy track reminded me of this classic remix of Moloko's biggest hit. 'Sing It Back' first appeared on Moloko's second album called 'I Am Not A Doctor' released in 1998. Then in 1999 it was remixed by Boris Dlugosch and became a massive hit reaching the top 10 in the U.K. and hitting number one on the U.S. dance charts - this version was then included on their third album 'Things To Make And Do'. This remix by German dj Mousse T is a bit rarer - and was released in 2000 as the b-side to their single 'Indgo'... Enjoy!
SummersRadio™ Classic Remix! Jam & Spoon - 'Stella 99' (Wackside Tweaker Remix) The breathy vocals of Cari Golden on the Booka Shade remix of Pan-Pot's 'Captain My Captain' that I posted yesterday reminded me of Jam & Spoon's classic track 'Stella'. This in turn reminded me of this great remix that came out in 1999!
Jam & Spoon were a duo from Frankfurt Germany - 'Stella' was their first hit single (released in 1992) and is considered to be a techno and trance classic. Although it's been remixed many times, the best collection of remixes came out in 1999 in the form of 'Stella 1999 - 1992: How Stella Got Her Groove Back' - which contained the original version plus six new remixes - spread across a two part cd single and on a three part 12" vinyl set. This standout French disco house remix is from Wackside - a trio that also hails from Frankfurt... Enjoy!
SummersRadio™ New Remix! Triple X - 'Feel The Same 2011' (Gary Caos House Touch Remix) One of my favorite club tunes of 1999 has just been re-released with several new remixes! Triple X's 'Feel The Same' is a disco house classic that first came out on the Ministry Of Sound label - it features a sample from a track called 'You & I' from the British soul group Delegation's 1979 album called 'Eau De Vie'. This and other Delegation songs have been sampled by artists such as Dizzee Rascal, Phats & Small, Lifelike and Ice Cube! Triple X are an Italian production duo and 'Feel The Same' was a number 1 club hit in the U.K. in the summer of '99. New remixes have just been released under the title 'Feel The Same 2011' on the Rise Records label - including this one from Gary Coas... Enjoy!
