SummersRadio™ Classic! Raven Maize - 'The Real Life' (Fatboy Slim Remix)
First of all Happy 4/20! I will be attending the 17th annual 4/20 gathering at the VAG (Vancouver Art Gallery) this afternoon, so I thought I'd get in an early post before I get well sedated :)
The biggest story from the first weekend of the Coachella Music Festival has been about a performer who wasn't actually even there. As you've no doubt heard 2Pac - who died in 1996 - performed live at Coachella with Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre - in the form of a hologram. Now I'm sure that if you're a big fan and you were at Coachella on acid or something, then I'll bet this was quite a trip. However, the implications of this have been in my thoughts all week - the Pandora's box has been opened - and we can never go back. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGbrFmPBV0Y
While Tupac's mother approves of this, I most certainly do not. I came across this cheeky item a couple days ago - for Coachella 2013 - featuring an all hologram lineup!
This is just wrong - and I don't mean just because The Beatles aren't headlining Sunday! I know that Damon Albarn has used this technology with the Gorillaz - but that was a different thing - it was to bring cartoon characters to life that were of his own creation. In the case of Tupac they're using a dead man's likeness as a performance puppet. He even greets the crowd with 'Wtf is up Coachella?' - who's saying that? Coachella started three years after he died - he never said that in his life, so it isn't sampled or prerecorded - it's FAKE. And of course it's without his consent. I suppose musicians will have to start stipulating in their wills whether or not they want their likeness used to perform for them after their deaths.
So what's next for Tupac - a co-headlining tour with Biggie? Apparently both the hologram's creators Digital Domain - and Snoop Dogg - have plans for a possible tour. Disgusting. I've already decided that I will never go to a 'concert' where a deceased artist is performing live as a hologram. Of course this is only the beginning - you know that someone somewhere in Memphis is already plotting the 'live' return of Elvis Presley (who's strangely absent from next year's Coachella lineup - I'm guessing because he's still alive!) with dollars signs in their eyes! Hopefully anyone with living relatives - as in the case of Elvis and The Beatles - would prevent such an atrocity from becoming a so-called reality. I certainly can't imagine John Lennon approving.
And once these hologram tours of dead artists start rising up everywhere you know it won't be a cheap show - I pity the fool willing to pay over $100 to see Bob Marley or whoever else may become a victim to this. They've already had numerous dead celebrities endorsing products on tv, so I guess this was inevitable, but I for one am not having it!
So let's tie in today's two themes - posthumous reality and 4/20 - with a classic from Raven Maize! 'The Real Life' was released as a single in the summer of 2001 on the Rulin Records label. The song blurs the lines of reality as well by featuring a vocal sample from Queen's song 'Bohemian Rhapsody' - who's singer Freddy Mercury died in 1991. Perhaps less obvious is that the song also nicks the keyboards from Simple Minds track 'Themes For Great Cities' from their 1981 album 'Sister Feeling Call'.
This is the 'Fatboy Slim Remix' of Raven Maize's 'The Real Life' - I particularly like the vocal breakdown around 5:20 in... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! + Classic Bonus Track! David Amo & Julio Navas - 'Squirt' (Original Mix)/ The Mighty Dub Katz - 'Magic Carpet Ride' (Son Of Wilmot Mix)
David Amo and Julio Navas are a dj/ production duo from Barcelona Spain who've just released their newest single this week! '3 Days And 3 Nights' is a three track EP featuring the title track, a song called 'Squirt' and a remix of 'Squirt' by Ron Costa. It's released on the Great Stuff Recordings label and is currently available exclusively on Beatport here: http://www.beatport.com/#release/3-days-and-3-nights/869086 You can keep up with Amo & Navas on their Facebook fan page here: http://www.facebook.com/amonavasfansite?sk=info
The title track is a quality tech house number with a nice gallop and a wicked baseline, but it has just a titch too much God talk for my taste - it's the second track 'Squirt' that instantly reeled me in. 'Squirt' begins with a nice hypnotic groove and then about two minutes in a massive bassline punts the song up to the next level. Before you know it 'Squirt' is um, erupting :) into a wonderful world of disco hi-hats, funky breakdowns, and trippy techno synths.
This is the 'Original Mix' of 'Squirt'... Enjoy!
Classic Bonus Track! The Mighty Dub Katz - 'Magic Carpet Ride' (Son Of Wilmot Mix)
The Mighty Dub Katz were a duo consisting of Norman Cook aka Fatboy Slim and Gareth Hansome aka GMoney. The excellent synth bassline in David Amo & Julio Navas' track 'Squirt' reminds me of the similarly hypnotic bassline of the Mighty Dub Katz 1995 club classic 'Magic Carpet Ride' - which also features a couple excellent fiesta style breakdowns! This is the 'Son Of Wilmot Mix' of 'Magic Carpet Ride'... Enjoy!

This threesome are officially releasing their 'Get Naked' EP on December 19th on Starr's own Snatch! Records label - however they've just released the 'Promo Edition' exclusively to Beatport this week! http://www.beatport.com/#release/get-naked-promo-edition/836656 It features four tracks - three versions of the title track - the 'Club Mix', 'Dub Mix' and the 'Carl Cox & Jon Rundell Remix', along with a Riva Starr song called 'Flexi Lady'.
I suspect that this song will very quickly become a new party anthem this holiday season - this is the 'Club Mix' of 'Get Naked'... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ Rare Remixes! The Go-Gos - 'Our Lips Are Sealed' (Extended 12 Inch Version) As mentioned yesterday the Go-Go's are coming to Vancouver on August 12th to perform at the Commodore! (see the post below for more details) I thought I'd post a couple rare remixes of the other single released off of 'Beauty & The Beat' - there were only two - somewhat surprising given the success of the album. First up we have the 'Extended 12 Inch Version' of 'Our Lips Are Sealed' - which was a rare promo only release in 1981 - the fun video has been extended as well... Enjoy!
And here' s a rare remix from 2005 by Fatboy Slim... Enjoy!
