SummersRadio™ New Music + Free Downloads! Spilt Milk - 'Starchild'/ 'Sounds'

Spilt Milk has just released a new EP online called 'Theories'! The Vancouver dj/ producer's latest EP features six tracks - and as a bonus he's decided to make it available as a free download!

                   

Spilt Milk explains his inspiration for the EP on Soundcloud: 

"The reason for these collection of songs is to bring awareness towards our personal ignorance of Canada and world's scientific truths. We continue use the money system as an excuse to destroy our world. In Canada, our conservative government has cancelled most government funded research that does not lead to profit. We also muzzle our scientists when they try to speak out against industries that poison our lands, waters, and our food supply.

We continue to poison ourselves with our own chemicals, GMO, and by using non-organic unnatural processes. We are in total awareness that we are just killing ourselves and every other plant and creature on this planet. If you think of the world as an entire whole organism, there is not a single person who would disagree with the fact that we are one very unhealthy and dying individual.

Its time regain awareness of our wholeness as one earth and stop using our own personal wealth as the excuse to ignore the truth.

Thank you for all of your listening and enjoyment and support!"

Trevor Wyatt - Spiltmilk

I've chosen my two favourite tracks from the EP so far - although it should be noted that all six are postworthy. Let's begin at the end with track six from the 'Theories' EP - this hypnotic acid dipped 'downtechno' creation is called 'Starchild'... Enjoy!



'Sounds' is the first track on the 'Theories' EP and it features a bevy of interesting sonic delights... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ Rare Remixes + Free Downloads! Nine Inch Nails! Editors!

SummersRadio™ Rare Remixes + Free Downloads! Nine Inch Nails - 'Closer' (Mano-Destra Remix)/ Editors - 'In This Light And On This Evening' (MindsEye Remix)

Most of today has been spent recovering from the Reading Festival - specifically Sunday's line up which included sets from the Editors and Nine Inch Nails. While it was great to be part of such a massive music gathering (upwards of 80,000 humans) and both bands performed fine sets I was a titch disappointed that they didn't perform my own personal favourite tracks.

                   

Of course when artists have multiple albums out one never knows which songs will be played - so it's a gamble and of course they can't please everyone. Sometimes a band simply grows tired of playing certain songs as well - when was the last time Radiohead performed 'Creep' live?

NIN played a fifteen song set including four songs from the forthcoming album 'Hesitation Marks' - and a number of classics including 'Terrible Lie' and 'March Of The Pigs' - but they didn't do perhaps my three favourite tracks: 'Head Like A Hole', 'Closer' or 'Hurt'.

Interestingly they did all the aforementioned songs at their Lollapalooza set which you can check out in full here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sRrQrow-PK0 Perhaps it was just due to a shorter set time - as NIN strangely weren't the headliners - Biffy Clyro were.

 

So while I pout over what NIN didn't play I thought I'd fill the void with a couple of remixes. If you haven't heard Tall Sasha's remix of 'Closer' which made my best of 2011 'Top 25 Electronic/ Club Tracks' list at number one - you can check it out m'here (it's still available as a free download): https://soundcloud.com/tall-sasha/nine-inch-nails-closer-tall

 

This is another interesting remix I came across today - by Portland's Benjamin Diggles aka 'Mano-Destra' - and if it's to your liking you can download a copy for free by clicking on the download arrow below... Enjoy!

 
Alas the Editors performed a great set as well but didn't do my personal favourite track - the title song from their album 'In This Light And On This Evening'. Here's a remix from the Netherlands' MindsEye - and if it's to your liking it's also available as a free download on Soundcloud here: https://soundcloud.com/mindseye4/editors-in-this-light-and-on

Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music + Free Downloads! Crystal Castles - 'Plague' (includes free download)/ 'Celestica' (Alcala Remix) (includes free download)

Toronto's Crystal Castles have just released a new song online called 'Plague' - and they've made it available as a free download today! 'Plague' is the first single from their forthcoming third album (as yet untitled - most likely their third eponymous release) which will be out in September on the Fiction Records label.

'Plague' has a distinctly distant dramatic feel to it and if it's to your liking you can download a copy for free from their Soundcloud page here: http://soundcloud.com/crystal-castles/crystal-castles-plague?page=2

Enjoy...!



Bonus Track! We first featured this 'Alcala Remix' by New York City dj/ producer Dan Acala on our Best Of 2010 roundup. The band have since given it their stamp of approval - and made it available as a free download on Soundcloud as well! You can download your copy here: http://soundcloud.com/crystal-castles/crystal-castles-celestica

This is the 'Alcala Remix' of 'Celestica' - the video features footage from a low budget 80's film called 'Disconnected'... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music + Free Downloads! Ewok Fur - 'Cloud Colored Sunshades'/ 'Woah, Golden Moon'/ 'Moving To Antarctica Sounds Quite Ok'/ 'Yellowdrone'

Germany's Ewok Fur have released a new EP online called 'Television Summer'! It's the brilliantly named band's second EP and the follow up to their self-titled (or is it title-less?) six track debut 'EP' which was released in November. 'Television Summer' features four tracks and is available as a download both for free or by donation from their Bandcamp page here: http://ewokfur.bandcamp.com/album/television-summer

                      

It's not often that an artist will tag their music as both 'shoegaze' and 'tropical' but this rather experimental EP contains many layers of sounds. Wall of sound is an apt description for music similar to this - but this is something more - a swirlwind of sound perhaps. I really like all four songs here but especially the opener 'Cloud Colored Sunshades' and then the second track 'Woah, Golden Moon' is even more magical and mind altering (you can use the arrows to move from track to track)... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ Best Of 2011 Countdowns! Part One: Top 25 Rock & Indie! #'s 25 - 21!

SummersRadio™ Best Of 2011 Countdowns! Part One: Top 25 Rock & Indie! #'s 25 - 21! It's time to begin SummersRadio™'s Best Of 2011 countdowns! They shall be divided into two parts - part one consisting of 25 Rock & Indie tracks - and part two consisting of 25 Electronic and Club tracks! Of course it's not always easy to classify songs and such practices can be limiting, but at the same time it doesn't seem right to me to compare (as an example) a Umek track along side one from Arcade Fire - as it's like comparing bananas to pears. :)

So while the Top 25 Rock & Indie list may include a couple songs that are electronic based and the Top 25 Electronic & Club list may include some full on club remixes of rock and indie songs - the purpose is to generally separate the songs primarily designed for the feet from those for the heart and mind. Either way, when it comes down to it both lists are for your ears (which are connected to the mind in most humans) and truthfully speaking one can really dance to anything if you choose to (so the feet need never be left out) so this was done mainly for flowing purposes, so I hope you enjoy this year's Best Of 2011 countdowns!

To eliminate any unnecessary nattering and focus on the music itself I will simply post each song sans any additional comments - but I will include the original link in each case should you wish to find out more information. I will also make note of any songs that (still) feature valid free legal download links for your enjoyment. So prepare yourself then for numerous hours of quality music featuring SummersRadio™'s selections for the Best Of 2011 - starting with Part One: Top 25 Rock & Indie... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Remix + Free Downloads! Queen/ NIN/ Tall Sasha!

SummersRadio™ New Remix + Free Downloads! Queen - 'Bohemian Rhapsody' (Tall Sasha 2012 Bootleg)/ Nine Inch Nails - 'Closer' (Tall Sasha Bootleg Remix) Sasha Tosic aka Tall Sasha is a dj/ producer from San Francisco that has released his latest remix online - of Queen's 'Bohemian Rhapsody'! If this remix if to your liking you can download a copy for free from his Soundcloud page here: http://soundcloud.com/tall-sasha/queen-bohemian-rhapsody-tall-1

This is the 'Tall Sasha 2012 Bootleg' of Queen's 1975 classic 'Bohemian Rhapsody' - I quite like the vocal effects on this one... Enjoy!



Bonus Track! Nine Inch Nails - 'Closer' (Tall Sasha Bootleg Remix) I've been working away at compiling my Best Of 2011 lists this week (the unveiling of which shall begin tomorrow) and for some reason I thought I already posted this remix previously (it was released in the spring) but I didn't - and it's too good to miss! If this remix is to your liking it's also available as a free download on Tall Sasha's Soundcloud page here: http://soundcloud.com/tall-sasha/nine-inch-nails-closer-tall and you can keep up with him on Facebook here: http://www.facebook.com/pages/SummersRadio/199636386720349?ref=ts#!/tallsasha1

Nine Inch Nails 'Closer' (aka 'Closer To God') first appeared on their 1994 album 'The Downward Spiral' - and is a modern rock/ industrial/ electronic classic - from it's perfect electronic drum sound (sampled and modified from punk/ rock legend Iggy Pop's 1977 song 'Nightclubbing') right down to it's sexually direct lyrics. Although there have been many underground remixes of it made over the years, I hereby declare this one to be the finest one I've heard... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music + Free Downloads! Royksopp!

SummersRadio™ New Music + Free Downloads! Royksopp - 'Shores Of Easy'/ The Irrepressibles - 'In This Shirt' (RYXP Edit) Norway's Royksopp are giving away free presents! These presents come in the form of two free downloads from their official website - and they're not being stingy - the two songs combined (one original tune and one remix) clock in at nearly 25 minutes of quality music!

First up is a brand new ambient/ techno Royksopp track called 'Shores Of Easy' which the band says is 'best served when calm' - although even if you didn't feel that way initially the song will certainly soothe you into such a state. They describe it as 'a perfect soundtrack to that borderline state between being awake and being asleep – the state where everything seems possible.' They also mention that this song is not indicitive of what their fifth album will sound like - although I wouldn't mind at all if it was!

Both this song and the remix posted further below are available as a free download from Royksopp's official website here: http://royksopp.com/track-of-the-moment

This is 'Shores Of Easy'... Enjoy!



And here's your other present - Royksopp's remix of The Irrepressibles 'In This Shirt'. The Irrepressibles are a ten member 'orchestral ensemble' from London that released their debut album called 'Mirror Mirror' last year. They just officially released an EP for 'In This Shirt' earlier this month - which features this remix from Royksopp - as well as remixes from Hercules & Love Affair and Zero 7.

Royksopp are giving away their remix of 'In This Shirt' as a free download on their website as well! http://royksopp.com/track-of-the-moment

This is the 'RYXP Edit' aka the 'Royksopp Remix' of The Irrepressibles song 'In This Shirt'... Enjoy!
