SummersRadio™ New Music + Free Download! Riton - 'Dance With Moi'
Riton is releasing a new EP called 'I Am The Whisper'! The 'I Am The Whisper' EP features two tracks - the title song and this one called 'Dance With Moi'. It's released on Nest who are currently giving away free downloads of both tracks here: http://nesthq.com/riton-i-am-the-whisper/ (scroll down to the red download icons)
'Dance With Moi' features vocal samples from a couple dance floor classics - Bomb The Bass's 'Beat Dis' from 1988 and Age Of Love's 'Age Of Love' which was released four times in the nineties. It's sounds rather like a new techno mashup that London's Riton aka Henry Smithson has renamed 'Dance With Moi'... 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!
SummersRadio™ New Remix! Age Of Love - 'Age Of Love' (Tim Schroeder Remix)
One of my all time favourite club tunes - 'Age Of Love' - is being remixed for 2014! Tiger Records are releasing a new remix of 'Age Of Love' by Age Of Love in the new year. The scheduled date is yet to be released - however they have posted a reasonably lengthy preview (five and a half minutes - yay!) on Soundcloud as a delicious taster.
The aforementioned post has become one of the most viewed SummersRadio™ blog posts ever thanks in part to a picture I included - if you search for 'high cat' on Google the post shows up! So although it's a coincidence it seems fitting that one of my all time favourite club tunes is also one of the most viewed!
So there's no word yet on how many remixes are forthcoming - whether there's more than one or not - but you can get a good feel of the 'Tim Schroeder Remix' from this clip... Enjoy!
SummersRadio™ Classic! Age Of Love - 'Age Of Love' (Watch out For Stella Mix) I mentioned yesterday that parts of Harvey McKay's new song 'Supercell' reminded me of the club classic 'Age Of Love' - and the song has been in my head pretty much ever since - so I think my brain wants me to post it!
'Age Of Love' was a one off project written by two producers - Italy's Bruno Sanchioni and Belgium's Roger Samijn - released under the same name as the song itself. The song was first released in 1990 on the Belgian label DiKi Records (DiKi standing for Disco King) and it featured some rather terribly cheesy sounding male lead vocals. It wasn't until 1992 when it was re-released on London's React label featuring 'The Jam & Spoon Remixes' (thankfully sans male vocals - but keeping the female vocals of Dutch model and singer Karen Mulder!) that it became a club anthem.
Jam and Spoon were a production duo from Frankfurt Germany consisting of Rolf Ellmer aka Jam El Mar and Markus Loffel aka Mark Spoon (who sadly died of a heart attack in 2006). It is their 'Watch Out For Stella Club Mix' ('Stella' being the name of one of their own landmark songs released the same year - you can revisit a remix of it here: http://summersradio.blogspot.com/2011/02/summersradio-classic-remix-jam-spoon.html) that has withstood the test of time to become a true club classic.
It's the initial build up of this remix - especially the keyboard bit between 1:50 and 2:35 - that lifts you up and leaves you suspended in mid air for a few seconds - that has undoubtably left many people (myself included) feeling a bit like this the first time they heard it in a club... :)
This is a fan made video - as a tribute to Mark Spoon - for Age Of Love's track 'Age Of Love' - Jam & Spoon's 'Watch Out For Stella Club Mix'... Enjoy!
SummersRadio™ New Music! Harvey McKay - 'Supercell' (Original Mix)/ Alan Fitzpatrick - 'Running Backwards' (Original Mix) Sweden's finest (and one of the world's finest) techno label(s) Drumcode are celebrating their 15th anniversary with the release of a brand new compilation fittingly titled '15 Years Of Drumcode'. This compilation may not be what one might expect though - it's no greatest hits collection - they're not flogging the past - they're flogging the future! :)
'15 Years Of Drumcode' features 28 tracks - and all of them are brand new! It actually makes sense for a forward thinking label - especially when they're clearly in their prime. Actually after listening to these 28 tracks, this compilation suggests to me that their best is still yet to come. There's no shortage of quality tunes here - I could easily feature this compilation over a few different posts. However, for now I've chosen my two favorite songs so far - if they're to your liking you can check out some of the other 26 new songs on the compilation (which is currently available as a download exclusively on Beatport) here: http://www.beatport.com/#release/15-years-of-drumcode/838119 and '15 Years Of Drumcode' is also available physically as a double cd.
First up we have Glasgow dj/ producer Harvey McKay with his song called 'Supercell' - the 27th track on the compilation. I totally love the superbly hypntoic production on this one - it reminds me a bit of one of my all time favorite club tunes - Age Of Love's 'Age Of Love'. This song chugs along like a magical runaway train ride - through space! I ♥ it... Enjoy!
This is another standout track on the new '15 Years Of Drumcode' compilation - 'Running Backwards' from Southampton's Alan Fitzpatrick... Enjoy!
SummersRadio™ Classic! NYLX Feat. Lula Grelhada - 'Goosebumps' (The Mushroom Head Mix) The booming male vocals in the 'Desolate Cities' track below reminded me of this classic - and highlarious - house tune! Not Chicago house per se though - this time via New York and Lisbon - hence the basis for the name NYLX! NYLX was the name of the collaboration between the Underground Sound Of Lisbon and Danny Tenaglia. This is actually edited - as this full remix by Johnny Vicious is 15:10! I love the banter between Lula and the DJ - and her line 'I think I'm losing my mind' - and how it gets all Age Of Love around 3:30! Enjoy!
