SummersRadio™ New Cover! Red Axes - 'Bela Lugosi's Dead'
Tel Aviv duo Red Axes have covered Bauhaus's 1979 classic 'Bela Lugosi's Dead'! 'Bela Lugosi's Dead' is track nine on Red Axes new album 'Ballad Of The Ice' which is released on the I'm A Cliché label and it's available now on iTunes.
Red Axes cover is more electronic than the original - while it maintains some of the atmosphere of the nine minute epic, it's also different enough to be interesting in it's own right... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Cover + Classic! Emmanuelle Seigner - 'You Think You're A Man' (Jean Tonique Remix)/ Divine - 'You Think You're A Man' (Original Extended Remix)
French actress and singer Emmanuelle Seigner is releasing a new EP next week called 'You Think You're A Man'! 'You Think You're A Man' is a cover of Divine's 1984 underground club hit.

Jean Tonique's remix of 'You Think You're A Man' is a full on disco/ funk makeover complete with Nile Rodgers style funky guitars and great strings... Enjoy!
Bonus Track! Emmanuelle Seigner's choice of a song to cover is awesome - but nothing can match the vitriol of Divine's delivery on the original. This is the original 'Extended Version' produced by Barry Evangeli and Pete Waterman in all it's cowbell induced glory... Enjoy!

Olga Bell's vocals remind me of Shirley Manson and Garbage's brilliant debut album - before all their songs started sounding rather sludgy. 'Know Yourself' also features some wicked cowbell action... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ STARTLEFEST 2012 Halloween Spectacular! Rare Remix! Siouxsie & The Banshees - 'Fear (Of The Unknown)' (12" Vertigo Mix)
Halloween allows humans to have fun with their fears - of death, what happens after death - and of the unknown in general. This Siouxsie & The Banshees remix is quite rare for a number of reasons - 'Fear (Of The Unknown)' was only released as a single in the U.S. - it's the band's only single that was never released in the U.K. And this '12" Vertigo Mix' was only released on vinyl, so it can be difficult to find. It's also likely Siousxie's only rave hit. Whaaaaaat? Yes, it's a rave remix!
'Fear (Of The Unknown)' was released as the third single from their 1991 album 'Superstition' - the original was produced by Stephen Hague. The U.S. 12" single featured two remixes from Junior Vasquez - this '12" Vertigo Mix' - and a dub version. While some may peg 1991 as the year that punk broke with the rise of Nirvana - it was also the year that club music and raves erupted in the North American underground scene.
And so it was this context that explains the massive keyboard hooks which may frighten some hardcore Siouxsie fans - and delight some others. I love the production on this... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ STARTLEFEST 2012 Halloween Spectacular! New Music! Maxime & Remain - 'Ghoulish' (Original Mix)

'Ghoulish' is more treat than trick - it features some super scary cowbell and spooky acid techno overtones... very suitable for dancing with ghouls of all kinds. Enjoy... er... I mean Beware!

SummersRadio™ New Remix! Pet Shop Boys - 'Leaving' (Lost Her Love Remix)
The Pet Shop Boys have released several new remix packages for their latest single 'Leaving'! 'Leaving' is the second official single from their latest album 'Elysium' and it's available on a number of formats including on 7" and 12" vinyl, a two part cd single, and a three part digital EP - 'Leaving', 'Leaving Remixed' and 'Leaving Again'. The 'Lost Her Love Remix' is from the 'Leaving Remixed' EP and cd single.
I have a lot of love for this duo - not many artists have a remix this amazing on their 55th single - yes, their 55th single! They are electronic/ synth legends but I don't have quite as much love for the new album as a whole: http://summersradio.blogspot.ca/2012/09/summersradio-new-music-pet-shop-boys.html
I was hoping that some remixes might save 'Leaving' from being anything more than pablum - and this new 'Lost Her Love Remix' by Italian dj/ producer Dusty Kid exceeds all expectations! He catapults the original into another galaxy - this eleven and a half minute journey includes multi-layered keyboards, vocoder and even some cowbell that eventually leads to one of my most favourite places... spacey acid techno territory - it's bliss! Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music/ Remix! James Benitez - 'Martin Gore' (Original Mix)/ Namito + Pig & Dan - 'The Stars Are Falling' (Rainer Weichhold & Nick Olivetti Remix)
Germany's BluFin label have just released their latest compilation called 'BluFin Loves Amsterdam 03'! The compilation features fifteen massive tracks including exclusive new remixes - and it's currently available exclusively on Beatport: http://www.beatport.com/#release/blufin-loves-amsterdam-03/981130
'Martin Gore' is the title track from James Benitez's latest EP, and the second track on the 'BluFin Loves Amsterdam 03' compilation - which features audio samples from an interview with the Depeche Mode mainstay. It doesn't sample Depeche Mode musically though - 'Martin Gore' has a hypnotic Giorgio Moroder influenced disco/ techno vibe with some nice Rinocerose style guitar bits - and even some bonus cowbell... Enjoy!
'BluFin Loves Amsterdam 03' opens with this new remix of Namito + Pig & Dan's song 'The Stars Are Falling' by Rainer Weichhold & Nick Olivetti - a perfect song to listen to whilst perhaps well sedated in the wee hours of the morning... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Low Jack - 'Look At My Pyramid' (Original Mix)
Low Jack is an artist/ dj/ producer from Paris who's just released a new EP called 'Slow Dance'! The four song 'Slow Dance' EP features the original mix and a 'Geeeman Remix' of the title track - as well as the songs 'Look At My Pyramid' and 'The Manifest'. It's released on the Get The Curse Music label and it's currently available exclusively on Beatport: http://www.beatport.com/#release/slow-dance-ep/975014
The title track 'Slow Dance' is an inviting spaced out sonic trip but I reckon I like the second track 'Look At My Pyramid' even more. 'Look At My Pyramid' has wicked keyboard sounds (I particularly like the build around 50 seconds in), more cowbell and drifting vocal samples that remind me of a cross between Bobby Gillespie's more drugged out moments from Primal Scream's 'Screamadelica' masterpiece... and a porno film!
It also has a nice swagger to it... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! D-Nox & Beckers - 'Legit' (Original Mix)
German duo D-Nox & Beckers have just released a new EP called 'Legit'! The EP features six tracks - two mixes of 'Legit' and four of a song called 'Narita Express'. It's released 'on the kitties label' Suara and it's currently available exclusively on Beatport: http://www.beatport.com/#release/legit-ep/968679
The title track 'Legit' has a classic house vibe complete with a cowbell and upfront piano hooks. I like the lyrics - they're minimal but they address some important topics - the choices we make, and doing the right thing... Enjoy!

Matador and Hobo have just released a new EP called 'ENTER.GROOVES'! Gavin Lynch aka Matador is a dj/ producer from Dublin and Hobo is a Canadian dj/ producer from Sarnia, Ontario who's now based in Berlin. The camera seems to like these two :)

Their new EP features six tracks - two of Matador's and four of Hobo's. It's released on the Minus label and it's currently available exclusively on Beatport: http://www.beatport.com/#release/enter-grooves/964420
'ENTER Svinx' (each song title is preceded by 'ENTER...' which appears to be a brand of sorts) is the third track on the EP and is a playful hypnotic tune featuring piano scales climbing over a chugging bassline with cowbell sprinkles and bonus spacey siren sounds! If this song was ice cream it would be a full on sundae... Enjoy!

Both the album and this remix EP are available on both itunes and Beatport - just half the price on itunes!
Let's begin with the last track on the EP - this is the 'Kotelett & Zadak Remix' of 'M.R.T. 2012'. The song features impeccable production - some cowbell even - and the couple on the cover art appear to be having a game of nude Frisbee on the beach... good times! Enjoy!
This is the first track on the 'Freiluft In Remix' EP - the 'Vinyl Mix' of 'Chordhose' - and like the previous track it's quite an adventure featuring wicked production... Enjoy!
