SummersRadio™ New Remix! Foals! Hot Chip!

SummersRadio™ New Remix! Foals - 'My Number' (Hot Chip Remix)

Hot Chip have just released a new remix of Foals latest single 'My Number' online! 'My Number' was released as the second single in December (a third has yet to be announced) from Foals third album 'Holy Fire'. It featured a remix from Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs which only included vocal samples, whereas this Hot Chip remix keeps the full vocals intact.

I actually wasn't a big fan of the original song (although the 'TEED Remix' is good) but I feel the love on this remix as it's quite different from both previous versions - Hot Chip add synths aplenty. My only complaint is that it's a bit short - but thus far it's only been posted on Soundcloud - hopefully it will receive a proper (extended!) release soon.

This is Hot Chip's new remix of Foals 'My Number'... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Hot Chip - 'Don't Deny Your Heart'

Hot Chip release their new album called 'In Our Heads' tomorrow! 'In Our Heads' is the London band's fifth studio album - it features eleven tracks and is released on the Domino label. We featured the first track to surface from the album in March called 'Flutes' http://summersradio.blogspot.ca/2012/03/summersradio-new-music-hot-chip.html.

                     

The first official single from the album is 'Night & Day' but this weekend a couple other new tracks have popped up online. 'Don't Deny Your Heart' is the fifth track on 'In Our Heads' - I like the coupling of the lines 'Don't deny your heart, don't destroy your heart' - of course the two aren't necessarily exclusive. The song has a nice summery vibe to it and I dig the opening vocal samples... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Hot Chip!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Hot Chip - 'Flutes'/ 'I Feel Better'

London's Hot Chip have just released a new song online called 'Flutes'! It's not clear at this point if 'Flutes' will be the first official single or not - but it's definitely the first new song released online from their forthcoming new album (their fifth) called 'In Our Heads' which is set for release on June 11th on the Domino Records label.

Domino Records have just posted this new video online of the band in the studio - featuring lots of spinning camera shots. Now I'm pretty sure that cameras don't get dizzy - but this is yet another SummersRadio™ 4:20 post :) - so even if you're not indulging in any illegal non-medicinal activity, you may feel some slight dizziness with this post anyway!

'Flutes' sounds like another fine Hot Chip tune - with typically soulful vocals and some occasionally trippy danceable synthesized grooves... Enjoy!



Bonus Track! 'I Feel Better' was the second single released from Hot Chip's last album - 2010's 'One Life Stand'. Yes, I hate that they use autotune in this song - of course you get the full irony of it in this video - but they're still using it! However, in time I've been able to forgive them for doing so - especially with beautifully simplistic lyrics like 'When you hold me, I feel better' :)

This is the highlarious fake boy band destroying video for 'I Feel Better'... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Remix! Death Cab For Cutie! (+Bonus Track + Free Download!)

SummersRadio™ New Remix + Bonus Track + Free Download! Death Cab For Cutie - 'You Are A Tourist' (The 2 Bears Remix)/ The 2 Bears - 'Bear Hug' (Cristoff Remix) You may be thinking 'hey - didn't you just post a new DCFC remix last week'? Why yes, I did - as mentioned last week DCFC is releasing a new remix each week for a total of seven weeks - until their entire new 'Keys And Codes Remix EP' is officially released on November 22nd. I quite like DCFC but somewhat strangely I haven't felt compelled to buy their new album yet - it doesn't seem to be nearly as wonderful as 'Transatlanticism' or even 'Narrow Stairs' - it just sounds a bit watered down to me. However after hearing only two remixes I'm already committed to purchasing the full remix EP. So there's five remixes left - and if they're good - I'll post them too!

So this week's new remix is of their single 'You Are A Tourist' - by London's 2 Bears. The 2 Bears are a duo consisting of Raf Rundell and Hot Chip's Joe Goddard. This is an interesting remix - although I see that it's receiving a lot of flack in the youtube and itunes comments sections. But then a surprising number of people just don't get remixes anyway - sad, but true. I must admit that as a rule I'm generally not a fan of sped up vocals in a remix - and they are here. The effect is rather odd - it's almost like they're trying to make Ben Gibbard sound more like the Pet Shop Boy's Neil Tennant! But then when I first posted the video for 'You Are A Tourist' in April, I mentioned that I think that Gibbard also sounds like Jon Anderson (of Yes and Jon & Vangelis fame) when singing the line 'this fire grows higher'! Am I crazy or spot on?Anyway if you can get past the odd vocals, musically speaking this remix is top notch - and it has some awesome cowbell as well... Enjoy!



Bonus Track + Free Download! The 2 Bears released their third EP in May called 'Bear Hug' on Southern Fried Records. It's available in the U.K. - and in the U.S. on itunes, but somewhat annoyingly it's not on itunes here in Canada - however it is available on Beatport http://www.beatport.com/#release/bear-hug-ep/817869 - along with the 'Bear Hug Remixes' EP that came out in July. http://www.beatport.com/#release/bear-hug-remixes/392438

                  

Here's an interesting remix of the title track from the 'Bear Hug' EP that I came across on Soundcloud by Manchester's Chris Massey aka cristoffmassey. If this superbly funky remix is to your liking you can download it for free courtesy of cristoffmassey here: http://soundcloud.com/cristoffmusic/the-2-bears-bear-hug-cristoff (or click the download arrow below)

This is the 'Cristoff Remix' of The 2 Bears track 'Bear Hug'... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Video + New Remix! Shit Robot!

SummersRadio™ New Video + New Remix! Shit Robot - 'Losing My Patience' While James Murphy may have put an end to LCD Soundsystem (posted below) he still has his label DFA Records - which Shit Robot are signed to. Marcus Lambkin aka Shit Robot released his debut album called 'From The Cradle To The Rave' last September - and 'Losing My Patience' is the third and latest single from the album, following 'I Got A Feeling' and 'Take Me Up' - which featured LCD Soundsystem's Nancy Whang on vocals. 'Losing My Patience' features vocals from Alexis Taylor of Hot Chip! First up we have the new video... Enjoy!



And since the song features Alexis Taylor on vocals, I suppose it wasn't too difficult to get Hot Chip to do a remix of the song as well... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Bernard Sumner + Hot Chip + Hot City!
