SummersRadio™ New Mashup + Free Download! Nine Inch Nails vs Gesaffelstein - 'Closer To Glory' (Alcala Mash-Up)
Alcala has just released a new mashup of Nine Inch Nails and Gesaffelstein online! The NYC producer has combined Nine Inch Nails 'Closer To God' and Gesaffelstein's single from last fall called 'Hate Or Glory'.
'Closer To Glory' fit well together as they have similar snare sounds and both are sparse yet powerful - if this mashup is to your liking you can download a free copy from Alcala on Soundcloud here: https://soundcloud.com/alcala/nin-vs-gstflstn (or click on the download icon below)
Enjoy...!
Bonus Track! If you're not familiar with Gesaffelstein's 'Hate Or Glory' you may have thought that the mix was mostly NIN, but the mashup features pretty much equal parts of each track. This is the official video for the original song - it's violent but well made and it makes a strong statement about greed... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ Rare Mashup + Free Download! Blondie vs. Philip Glass - 'Heart Of Glass' (Daft Beatles Mashup)/ Blondie - '11:59'
First of all kudos to another music blog - The Omelette Chronicles http://theomelettechronicles.wordpress.com/ for exposing me to this wonder today! This mashup was created last fall but for the most part it's remained rather underground thus far.
Jonas C aka Daft Beatles is a mashup artist/ dj from London. He posted his first mashup online a year ago - of Daft Punk vs The Beatles 'Something About Us Comes Together' - hence his moniker. In just the last twelve months he's since posted 48 tracks on his Soundcloud page (all mashups) which you can check out here: http://soundcloud.com/daft-beatles
This version of 'Heart Of Glass' lifts the vocal from Blondie's 1979 hit of the same name - which floats in a most beautiful and haunting manner over Philip Glass's (instrumental) track 'Violin Concerto II' - and the results are quite stunning.
Blondie is one of my all time favourite bands - and I'm very happy to say that Debbie Harry is still alive and well - but it sounds like she's singing from the heavens here. Someday when she is no more I can picture myself listening to this powerful track and weeping. Despite being an upbeat worldwide disco smash, as Jonas C says himself '
I always thought they were bleak lyrics... "Soon found out I was losing my mind...'.
Tomorrow (July 1st) is actually Harry's 67th birthday and she still looks amazing (as always) - Happy Birthday Deborah! ♥♥♥
If this mashup is to your liking it's available as a free download simply by clicking on the icon below... Enjoy!
Bonus Track! Here's a Blondie original that's always had an eerie feel to it for me - especially if you're listening to it at the right time of the night. Like 'Heart Of Glass', '11:59' is a track from Blondie's third album 'Parallel Lines' - in fact it was the b-side of 'Heart Of Glass' in North America. The lyrics have quite an urgency to them - you're left wondering if she'll survive until the next day... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ Rare Remixes! Beastie Boys - 'No Sleep Till Brooklyn' (LFOMG Remix Featuring Bass Nation & Jason Dennis)/ Franz Ferdinand vs The Beastie Boys - 'Triple Take'
Many music fans have been saddened by the passing of Adam Yauch aka MCA of the Beastie Boys earlier today - myself included. I've been a long time Beasties fan - especially for how they pioneered mixing hip hop with punk and rock. I have a copy of their 1983 single 'Cooky Puss' on cd single and the original 12" pressing of their 1985 single 'She's On It'! I was also lucky enough to meet them back in the 90's, so today I shall feature two rather rare remixes as a small tribute.
'No Sleep Till Brooklyn' was the sixth (!) single released from the Beastie Boys massive debut album 'Licensed To Ill'. The song was produced by Rick Rubin and features guitar riffs courtesy of Slayer's Kerry King. This remix is by Los Angeles producer Johnathan Rivers aka LFOMG - short for 'low frequency oscillator' plus 'oh my goodness' apparently.
Don't be fooled by the dubious name - or the fact that it says dubstep in the title below - this remix released online last November rocks! One of the things I like about it is how he (along with Bass Nation & Jason Dennis) takes the song further into punk and metal territory - the next level kicks in around 1:40... Enjoy!
The 'Franzie Boys' EP was a collection of mashups between Franz Ferdinand and Beastie Boys tracks made by a producer named McSleazy. The four track 12" single was 'unofficially released' on the Half Inch Recordings label in 2004. This is the first track on the EP called 'Triple Take' - a fusion of Franz Ferdinand's 'Take Me Out' and the Beastie Boys 'Triple Trouble' from their 2004 album 'To The 5 Boroughs'... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music + Bonus Tracks! School Of Seven Bells - 'Kiss Them For Me'/ Siouxsie and the Banshees - 'Kiss Them For Me' (Kathak #2 Mix)/ Siousxie and the Banshees vs Chemical Brothers - 'Come With Us'/ Kiss Them For Me' (Kathak #2 Mix)
School Of Seven Bells have just released their new single online - a cover of Siouxsie and the Banshees 'Kiss The For Me'! Although not featured on their latest album 'Ghostory' which was released in February on the Ghostly International label, the song has been a staple of their live shows. It was officially released as a limited 7" single for Record Store Day on the weekend - and it's now available on itunes as well.
'Kiss Them For Me' was originally released as the first single from Siouxsie and the Banshee's album 'Superstition' in 1991. This is a really good cover - it's quite faithful to the original in overall structure - but with the addition of newer industrial tinged electronics... Enjoy!
Bonus Track! Siouxsie and the Banshees - 'Kiss Them For Me' (Kathak #2 Mix) This is one of the remixes from the original 1991 North American cd single by Youth... Enjoy!
Bonus Track #2! Siouxsie and the Banshees vs Chemical Brothers - 'Come With Us'/ 'Kiss Them For Me' (Kathak Mix #2) I just came across this unlikely mashup for the first time today and I was surprisingly blown away by how well it works. I don't have any further information at this time about who did the mashup other than his or her name on Youtube is TheGSST... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Remix! Depeche Mode - 'Behind The Wheel' (Vince Clarke Remix) Another one of the new 2011 Depeche Mode remixes has surfaced online - hoo-ray! Depeche Mode release their new remix compilation on June 6th called 'Remixes 2: 81-11' - with the triple cd set containing a total of 37 remixes - and 13 of them are brand new for 2011! I've previously featured the new remixes from Alex Metric, Eric Prydz and Royksopp - and today we have a new remix by former band member Vince Clarke! In fact this is the first time in 30 years that Clarke has worked with his former band mates - this is his new remix of 'Behind The Wheel'... Enjoy!
Rare Remix! Depeche Mode - 'Behind The Wheel/ Route 66 (Megamix)' (Remixed by Ivan Ivan) The original b-side for the 'Behind The Wheel' single was a cover of 'Route 66' which was written by Bobby Troup and first became a hit for Nat King Cole in the 1940's! This remix is rare - depending on where you live - as it was only released in the U.S. in 1987. This is a mashup of 'Behind The Wheel' and 'Route 66' by Ivan Ivan... Enjoy!
