SummersRadio™ New Remixes + Free Download! Joy Division - 'Love Will Tear Us Apart' (Drop Out Orchestra Remix)/ (Remix/ Edit) (includes free download)

Drop Out Orchestra have just released new remixes of Joy Division's 'Love Will Tear Us Apart' online today! The Swedish duo have posted three versions of the song - the 'Drop Out Orchestra Remix', an edited single version, and one called 'Dub Will Tear Us Apart'.

The availability of these mixes are a bit tricky - the 'Drop Out Orchestra Remix' (6:12) isn't available for sale just yet. However the 'Remix Edit' (3:36) a shorter version of the first track is currently available as a free download (see below). And thirdly, 'Dub Will Tear Us Apart' (6:20) - an extended dub version of the song - will be available for sale exclusively on Juno starting tomorrow: http://www.junodownload.com/products/dub-will-tear-us-apart/2326307-02/

                   

This is the extended 'Drop Out Orchestra Remix' - they punch up the original so it sounds a bit like 'Love Will Tear Us Apart' meets The Clash's 'Rock The Casbah' - with strings. It's not sacrilegious, it's fun... Enjoy!



This is the 'Remix/ Edit' which you can download for free by clicking here: https://soundcloud.com/dropoutorchestra/lwtua-edit-free or on the download arrow below... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music + Free Download! Chromatics - 'Ceremony'

Portland's Chromatics have just released a new song online - a cover of New Order's 'Ceremony'! 'Ceremony' was written by Joy Division but after Ian Curtis' suicide the song was released as the first single from the newly renamed band - as New Order - in 1981.

                   

The Chromatics Johnny Jewel released a new mix on Soundcloud this week called 'Black & White/ A Mix For Autumn' which features the band covering 'Ceremony' - along with special guest Ida No from Glass Candy on guitar.

If this cover is to your liking you can download the individual song for free courtesy of Stereogum here: http://stereogum.com/1213951/chromatics-ceremony-new-order-cover/mp3s/ or as part of the full 'Black & White...' mix m'here: http://soundcloud.com/johnnyjewel/black-and-white-autumn-mix

This is quite an interesting cover - on one hand it's quite faithful to the original - but at the same time it's also a slower, dreamier, rather romantic take on the song... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Remix! Elliott Smith!

SummersRadio™ New Remix! Elliott Smith - 'Needle In The Hay' (Young Edits Electronic Mix)

Luke Foskey aka Young Edits aka Youth is a dj/ producer from Brisbane Australia who's just released his latest remix online - of Elliott Smith's song 'Needle In The Hay'! We previously featured another Young Edits remix last October - of Joy Divsion's 'She's Lost Control' which you can check out/ revisit here: http://summersradio.blogspot.com/2011/10/summersradio-new-remix-joy-division.html

'Needle In The Hay' was first released on Elliott Smith's self titled second album in 1995, and it was also included on the soundtack to Wes Anderson's 2001 film 'The Royal Tenenbaums'. Young Edits keeps the feel of the original intact in this tasteful remix - he describes it in his own words thusly 'Elliot Smith is one of those incredible artists that can provoke emotion through such minimalistic instrumentation. I've tried to keep that whilst giving a somewhat more dance-orientated undercurrent.'

                   

This is the new 'Young Edits Electronic Mix' of Elliott Smith's 'Needle In The Hay' ... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! ColoursColoursColours!

SummersRadio™ New Music! ColoursColoursColours - 'Drip Haze' ColoursColoursColours are a new band from London - so new that they just posted their very first two songs online on Soundcloud this weekend!

Both 'Drip Haze' and 'Missing' are set for release in 2012 on Marshall Teller Records label and you can keep up with the band on Soundcloud here: http://soundcloud.com/colourscolours

This is my favorite track of the two - 'Drip Haze' - it has a nice driving detached feel to it that reminds me of Echoboy, a few shoegaze bands - and even Joy Division's more joyous moments... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Remix! Joy Division!

SummersRadio™ New Remix! Joy Division - 'She's Lost Control' (Young Edits Voices In Her Edit) Luke Foskey aka Young Edits// Youth or simply Youth (not to be confused with U.K. musician/ producer Martin Glover aka Youth - who has produced or remixed artists such as Primal Scream, The Verve, U2, The Shamen, Art Of Noise and many others - and who also started the first psychedelic trance label - Dragonfly Records!) is a 22 year old dj/ producer from Brisbane Australia. He's just released his latest remix online - of the Joy Division classic 'She's Lost Control'!

'She's Lost Control' appeared on Joy Division's debut album 'Unknown Pleasures' in 1979. A different version of the song was later released as a single in summer of 1980. The lyrics involve a girl having an epileptic seizure - Joy Division's guitarist/ vocalist Ian Curtis also had epilepsy.

This remix is respectful of the original - Luke says on his Soundcloud page:

'A band synonymous with artistic influence on my generation and I am no exception. I've always toyed with the idea of turning this track into something dancefloor orientated, but I never wanted it to lose its depth of originality nor its dark edge.
Hopefully this edit does justice to one of the most phenomenal and influential bands of their time. RIP Ian x'

This is the 'Young Edits Voices In Her Edit' remix of 'She's Lost Control' which will be released soon on the Discofil label - I particularly like it when the acid techno bits kick in later in the song (about 5:50 in)... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! New Order!

SummersRadio™ New Music! New Order - 'Hellbent' Ian Curtis - the vocalist for Joy Division - died 31 years ago today. As it was a suicide (hanging) it's certainly not something that one generally celebrates - however today Rhino Records in the U.K. has announced that they're releasing a new Joy Division/ New Order compilation! It's called 'Total: From Joy Division To New Order' and it's the first compilation to feature some of the best of both bands together!

The cover features artwork by Peter Saville - Factory Records legendary former art director...

                    

It's released on June 6th and it will feature 18 tracks - just 5 from Joy Division and 13 from New Order. The best part is that the final track is a previously unrleased New Order song called 'Hellbent'! It's not known yet what year this tune was recorded but it definitely sounds like it was from the 2000's. Here's the full tracklisting for the new compilation:
