SummersRadio™ New Music! Piatto!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Piatto -  'Not Satisfied' (Original Mix)

Piatto are a duo from Italy consisting of brothers Alessandro and Davide Piatto - who've just released a new EP called 'Not Satisfied'!

                   

The 'Not Satisfied' EP features three tracks - the original plus remixes from Perfect Stranger and Kirill Mixer. It's released on the IAMT (Iamtechno) label and it's currently available exclusively on Beatport: http://www.beatport.com/release/not-satisfied/1049931

The 'Original Mix' of 'Not Satisfied' features samples from a couple of underground club classics - the vocal line '... I'm just not satisfied' is borrowed from Divine's 1982 club hit 'Native Love (Step By Step)' produced by Bobby Orlando - and the keyboard sample (surfacing around 1:15 in) is from the 1978 post-punk industrial classic 'Warm Leatherette' from The Normal aka producer Daniel Miller which was the first release ever on the Mute Records label... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ Forward To The Past Part 3: Classic! Divine!

SummersRadio™ Classic! Divine - 'Native Love' (Remix) Further to yesterday's post about the similarities between a number of new club songs and older ones, here's another one that came to mind - when I posted the other new Hertz track 'Red Ryder' a few weeks ago, I was instantly reminded of this classic from the one and only Divine!

Harris Glenn Milstead was an actor, singer and drag queen from Baltimore that was known by his stage name Divine. This name was first given to him by a fellow Baltimore resident - an aspiring young filmmaker who wanted to make 'the trashiest motion pictures in cinema history' named John Waters! Divine had roles in several short films that Waters made in the late 60's and then went on to star in many of Waters full length movies including Mondo Trasho, Pink Flamingos, Female Trouble, and the original Hairspray film.

Divine started his recording career in 1980 and subsequently recorded a number of singles with producer Bobby Orlando - the most successful of those early singles being this track - 1982's 'Native Love (Step By Step)'. It was his first single to chart on the Dutch Singles Chart and to this day it's his highest charting single on the U.S. Club Play Singles charts. This is one of the original 12 inch remixes from that same year... Enjoy!



Now compare Divine's track to this other recent single from Hertz called 'Red Ryder'. I'm not trying to single out Hertz, as I love their music and these are just two examples of many new tracks that pay homage to this era (as mentioned in the posts featuring new tracks from the new compilation from Poker Flat Recordings called 'Forward To The Past').

This is Divine... err, Hertz :) Enjoy!
