SummersRadio™ New Video! Donna Summer - 'Love To Love You Baby' (Giorgio Moroder Featuring Chris Cox Remix)/ Donna Summer - 'I Feel Love' (Afrojack Remix)
A new video has been released online for the new 'Giorgio Moroder Remix' of Donna Summer's classic single 'Love To Love You Baby'! The remix is of course from the 'Love To Love You Donna' remix album which came out in October on Verve Records.
'Love To Love You Baby' was first released as the title track to Donna Summer's 1975 album and it later became one of the first disco hits to be released in an extended form - a seventeen minute sexual odyssey that became a massive club hit.
The original was produced by Giorgio Moroder - as is the new remix for 2013 - with some help from Chris Cox. This colourful new video is a nice tribute to both Donna Summer and a classic song newly remixed... Enjoy!
Bonus Track! Donna Summer -'I Feel Love' (Afrojack Remix) I wanted to feature this new remix when it first came out in October - but the only shareable clip was footage from a Creamfields show that just didn't seem to fit the song very well. We now have this other Youtube post to share another tastefully updated Donna Summer classic... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Remix! Moby featuring Inyang Bassey - 'The Right Thing' (Sharam Jey Remix)/ Donna Summer - 'I Feel Love' (Patrick Cowley Remix)/ Moby - 'Why Does My Heart Feel So Bad?' Moby has just released a new EP this week - for the latest single(s) from his 'Destroyed' album! The EP is a double A-side release for the songs 'The Right Thing' and 'After' - featuring five remixes of 'The Right Thing' and two of 'After' - making them the third and fourth singles respectively from his 'Destroyed' album, released on his own Little Idiot label.
If there's one thing I've learned about music it's that everything is a product of everything that's come before it. New songs (or portions of them) will almost always sound something like some older song - be it unintentional, inspired by, or simply a complete ripoff! And in clubland there's one song that's been imitated and duplicated far too many times to count - and justifiably so - Donna Summer's 'I Feel Love'. Today we have example # 3,789 (I counted) :) with the new 'Sharam Jey' remix of 'The Right Thing' (please note that this version is edited slightly - you get an extra minute and 15 seconds of disco flavored goodness on the EP!) ... Enjoy!
Bonus Track #1! Donna Summer's 'I Feel Love' was released as a single in the summer of 1977 at the height of the disco era - however there are some who say (myself included) that this song was also the birth of techno! The reason for this is as follows - previous disco hits had always included a backing band and/ or orchestra - but 'I Feel Love' was the first song of it's kind to use an entirely synthesized backing track.
The song was written by Summer - along with producers Giorgio Moroder and Pete Bellotte - and first appeared on her concept album called 'I Remember Yesterday'. The album featured seven songs (plus one reprise) - five of which were released as singles. The following year Patrick Cowley remixed and extended the track from just under six minutes to 15:45 - and in the process (aside from perhaps the guitar solo) further developed it's techno blueprint. Most instrumental parts of this song stand up just fine against some of this year's finest new releases on labels like 1605 - and this remix is flipping 33 years old! This is the 'Patrick Cowley Remix' of Donna Summer's 'I Feel Love' in it's full unedited glory... Enjoy!
Bonus Track #2! I had lunch with Moby once - he didn't eat anything though. True story. Picture it... Vancouver - summer of 1999. His album 'Play' had been released just two months prior and was selling modestly at best - but there were a few pockets in the country where it was doing really well including here (it later went on to sell over 10 million copies worldwide). 'Bodyrock' had just been released as the second single, and as part of the album's promotion his record company arranged a meet and greet luncheon for selected music industry types. I remember thinking about what I might say to him when we first met - and how funny it was just thinking of saying the words 'Hi Moby'!
The lunch turned out to be a bit of an embarrassment for the record company - as it was well known that Moby was a vegan - and the restaurant didn't have anything on their menu that was! He asked for a few different options that they couldn't really accommodate - and then they offered to make a salad but that's not what he wanted, so he just had water! The coolest part was when I asked him if 'Why Does My Heart Feel So Bad?' might be a future single because it was my favorite song on the album - and he said that it was going to be the next single and that they were making a fully animated video for it!
Here's the video for Moby's classic track 'Why Does My Heart Feel So Bad?' - featuring vocals sampled from a 1953 recording by The Shining Light Gospel Choir - and the animated introduction of his rather cute 'Little Idiot' character... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ Curve - 'I Feel Love' This version of Donna Summer's 1977 disco/ electronic classic produced by Giorgio Moroder was hard to find for many years as it was initially only released on the limited edition 3cd set called 'Ruby Trax' - which was released in celebration of the NME's 40th anniversary! It was released in 1992 and featured 40 of the coolest artists at the time doing a cover of their favorite number one song of the last 40 years! It was an amazing compilation but it's long out of print, however the song can now be found on Curve's double best of collection called 'The Way Of Curve 1990/ 2004' - Enjoy!
