SummersRadio™ 3 Year Anniversary! New Music! Cut Copy - 'Take Me Higher'

SummersRadio™ is celebrating it's three year anniversary online today - hooray!!! Our first official post online was on Oct. 24th, 2010 featuring Digitalism - and here we are over 1,200 posts later with new music from Cut Copy. SummersRadio™  - where 'There's always something magic, there's always something new'.

                             

Cut Copy begin their new world tour this weekend that will see them playing in Toronto on Nov. 15th at the Danforth Music Hall and in London (U.K.) Nov. 26th at Oval Space.

'Take Me Higher' is the fourth new song that the band have posted online from their forthcoming fourth album 'Free Your Mind', which is out on Modular Records Nov. 4th (U.K)/ 5th (North America). Like the first two singles - 'Let Me Show You Love' and the album's title track - 'Take Me Higher' is filled with feel good vibes... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Remix + Free Download! Cut Copy! Spiritualized!

SummersRadio™ New Remix + Free Download! Cut Copy - 'Free Your Mind' (Spiritualized Version)

Cut Copy have made one of the remixes of their current single 'Free Your Mind' available as a free download today! Now I realize that I just posted the 'Fort Romeau Remix' of 'Free Your Mind' last week, but this remix is completely different - it's more like a cover - and as a bonus it's available as a free download for a limited time from The Guardian newspaper in the U.K. here: http://vitalartists.com/widgets/cutcopyremix/test.php

                    

It's been some years since Spiritualized have remixed anything - if I'm not mistaken the last time was for Yoko Ono's remix album 'Yes, I'm A Witch' in 2007. Jason Pierce transforms the dance tune into a beautiful piece of atmospheric psychedelia worlds away from the original... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Remix! Cut Copy - 'Free Your Mind' (Fort Romeau Remix)

Cut Copy have released a new remix of their latest single 'Free Your Mind' online! 'Free Your Mind' is the latest single and title track from their forthcoming fourth album which is released on November 5th on Modular Recordings. The 'Free Your Mind (Remixes)' EP is released Oct. 14th (U.K.)/ 15th (North America).
 
                   

We featured the original mix 'Free Your Mind' when it first came out last month: http://summersradio.blogspot.ca/2013/09/summersradio-new-music-cut-copy.html

London's Fort Romeau fully embraces the second Summer Of Love era feel of the original - the only word that can accurately describe this deep house/ disco remix is Blissful... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Cut Copy - 'Free Your Mind'

Cut Copy have just released their new single 'Free Your Mind' online! 'Free Your Mind' is the title track from the Melbourne band's forthcoming fourth album which is due for release November 5th on Modular Recordings.

                   

'Free Your Mind' is the second single from the album following July's 'Let Me Show You Love': http://summersradio.blogspot.co.uk/2013/07/summersradio-new-music-cut-copy.html

It says on the Modular website that the band was going for a 'Summer Of Love' vibe on this album - paying tribute to both 1967 and 1988/89. The title track sounds more like the latter - with positive lyrics and a club feel reminiscent of The Beloved and Happy Mondays... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Cut Copy - 'Let Me Show You'

Cut Copy have released a new song at the Pitchfork Music Festival called 'Let Me Show You'! At the festival there was a live demonstration of how to make a vinyl record with a lathe - in total a 120 copies of 'Let Me Show You' were made and the purchasers name of each copy was hand etched into the vinyl.

                   

Now the sound quality isn't perfect here as it's recorded off of a turntable but 'Let Me Show You' is a quality song with a hint of acid techno and certainly worth checking out. It's likely that the song will receive a proper release on their label Modular Recordings although no date as been set yet. (please note that the song begins at 1:25 in if you'd like to skip the intro - although it's rather amusing to see how this guy handles his super limited slice of vinyl)... Enjoy!

*UPDATE Aug. 1st* Here's a top quality recording posted on Youtube today by Modular - you can still check out the 'first listen' video below for a laugh... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Remix! Death Cab For Cutie! + Bonus Track!

SummersRadio™ New Remix! Death Cab For Cutie - 'Doors Unlocked And Open' (Cut Copy Remix) Bellingham's Death Cab For Cutie have just released a new remix on itunes today - and they've just announced that they're releasing a seven track remix EP next month! The EP is called the 'Keys And Codes Remix EP' - quite obviously featuring remixes of tracks from their 'Codes And Keys' album which was released at the end of May.

The 'Keys And Codes Remix EP' will be released on November 22nd - and starting today the band will unveil one new remix a week for seven weeks on their official website here: http://www.deathcabforcutie.com/

              

This is the brand new remix from Cut Copy - who performed two shows here in Vancouver on Friday and Saturday - of Death Cab For Cutie's 'Doors Unlocked And Open'... Enjoy!



Bonus Track! Death Cab For Cutie's Ben Gibbard and Jimmy Tamborello (aka Dntel and James Figurine) formed The Postal Service and released their debut album - and only full length release so far - in 2003. I suspect that the new 'Keys And Codes Remix EP' will be of some comfort to fans who've been waiting eight years for a follow up - at least to hear Ben Gibbard sing on some more electronic tracks.

This is The Postal Service's 'Nothing Better' - the 'Styrofoam Remix' - from the EP for 'We Will Become Silhouettes' which was the fourth single released from their 'Give Up' album. I love the female vocals on this song - which are provided by Seattle's Jen Wood of the Jen Wood Trio... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ Concert News! Cut Copy! OMD!

SummersRadio™ Concert News! Cut Copy! OMD! (separate shows!) A couple of great concerts have been announced today for fans of electronic music - both new and pioneering! Aside from both concerts just being announced today, I thought I'd post them together because Cut Copy are clearly one of many bands that have been influenced by OMD - they sound particularly similar on their recent single 'Need You Now'...



Now compare that with OMD's 'If You Leave' from John Hughes classic 1986 film 'Pretty In Pink'...



Cut Copy will be coming to Vancouver on October 7th to perform at the Vogue. Pre-sale tickets are available NOW (as of noon today) through their internet community here: http://tixx1.artistarena.com/cutcopy/

Cut Copy are touring in support of their latest album 'Zonoscope' and they've announced that these new dates throughout September and October will be their final North American headlining shows in support of this record. They've also announced that 'Blink And You'll Miss A Revolution' will be the next official single and it will be released on August 9th digitally, followed by a release on 12" vinyl shortly after. The package will include remixes from Toro Y Moi, Chicken Lips, Das Moth & Kenji Takimi, Tornado Wallace, and Henning Furst.

Here's the new remix of 'Blink And You'll Miss A Revolution" by Chazwick Bundick aka Tori Y Moi... Enjoy!

Also announced today is the Georgia Straight presentation of OMD! Orchestral Manoeuvers In The Dark are coming to Vancouver on Sept. 30th to perform at the Commodore. Tickets go on sale through Ticketmaster this Friday, but there's also a pre-sale starting tomorrow at 10am. You can find out more info here: http://www.straight.com/article-402304/vancouver/georgia-straight-presents-omd-commodore-ballroom 
(password hint: their latest album is called 'History Of ______')  :)

The synthpop pioneers are touring in support of their 11th studio album called 'History Of Modern' which was released last fall. 'History Of Modern (Part 1)' was released as the third single from the album a few months ago and the band had a contest inviting fans to make a video. This was the winner... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Remix! Cut Copy!

SummersRadio™ New Remix! Cut Copy - 'Need You Now' (Carl Craig Remix) Cut Copy have just released their new remix EP for 'Need You Now' on the Modular label today! It has four tracks including the original mix, plus remixes from Architecture In Helsinki, Gavin Russom, and this one from Detroit techno legend Carl Craig - who expands it into a 13 and a half minute epic - Enjoy!

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™ New Remix! Cut Copy!

SummersRadio™ New Remix! Cut Copy - 'Take Me Over' (Thee Loving Hand Remix) Cut Copy release their third album called 'Zonoscope' in February. The cover art - which looks a bit like Niagara Falls was moved to downtown New York city - is by the late Japanese photomontage artist Tsunehisa Kimura. 'Take Me Over' is the first single from the album and this new remix is by Thee Loving Hand aka Tim Goldsworthy - Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ Kaiser Chiefs! Cut Copy Remix!

SummersRadio™ Kaiser Chiefs - 'Never Miss A Beat' (Cut Copy Remix) One of my favorite Cut Copy remixes... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ Classic! Cut Copy!

SummersRadio™ Classic! Cut Copy - 'Feel The Love'  The first track on their second album 'In Ghost Colours'... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Cut Copy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Cut Copy - 'Take Me Over' Cut Copy's new single 'Take Me Over' premiered on Australia's triple j radio this morning, and they posted this unedited version online just hours ago! It's pretty poppy - and chill - almost Roxy Music-ish. Guitarist Tim Hoey says that it's 'certainly one of the more pop moments on the album'. Their third full length entitled 'Zonoscope' - released on Modular Recordings - is due out in February. I look forward to some remixes on this one... Enjoy!
