SummersRadio™ Classic Remix! Pet Shop Boys - 'I Want A Dog' (Frankie Knuckles Remix)
Some sad news in the dance music world today - Chicago house legend Frankie Knuckles aka `The Godfather Of House` has passed away at age 59.
'I Want A Dog' first appeared as a b-side to the Pet Shop Boys 1987 single 'Rent', but it's the 'Frankie Knuckles Remix' - produced and remixed by Knuckles - that made it onto their 1988 album 'Introspective'.
Knuckles version of 'I Want A Dog' features sublime production and a great piano solo and I consider it to be one of the finest remixes of his career - may he rest in peace.
Enjoy...!

SummersRadio™ Classic Remix! Starsailor - 'Four To The Floor' (Thin White Duke Mix)
After posting the latest remix from Jacques Lu Cont aka Stuart Price I thought I'd post one of my favourite old school remixes he's done - this one under his Thin White Duke moniker. Starsailor released 'Four To The Floor' as the third single from their second album called 'Silence Is easy' in 2004. For many years only an edited version of this remix was available physically, but this full 8:12 version is now available digitally on itunes... Enjoy!

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™ Classic Remix! Depeche Mode - 'A Pain That I'm Used To' (Jacques Lu Cont Remix) I would imagine that the easy part of compiling a tracklist for a new Depeche Mode remix album would be adding the new remixes. When it comes to choosing just 24 classic remixes out of hundreds of options it must be hard to decide which ones to go with - so I'm glad to see that one of my favorite remixes of their more recent material made the cut!
'A Pain That I'm Used To' was released as the second single from their 2005 release 'Playing The Angel'. This remix is from legendary British producer Jacques Lu Cont - also known as Stuart Price (and by numerous other monikers) and although this may be considered late in their respective careers - I consider this song/ remix to be one of their finest individual pieces of work... play it loud and 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™ Classic Remix! The Flaming Lips - 'Do You Realize?' (Scott Hardkiss Floating In Space Mix) It's true - we're all floating in space - RIGHT NOW!! Here's a wonderfully spacey remix by San Francisco's Scott Hardkiss from 2003's 'Fight Test' EP... Enjoy! ♥♥♥
SummersRadio™ Classic Remix! Depeche Mode - 'Peace' (Japanese Popstars Remix) The Gorillaz post below got me thinking of my favorite Japanese Popstars remix - this one of Depeche Mode's single 'Peace' released in 2009 - the first time I heard this in a club I was blown away by the production... Enjoy!
