SummersRadio™ New Video! New Order - 'Restless' (Official Video)

New Order have influenced countless other bands over the years, but only New Order truly sound like New Order. 'Restless' nails their classic more guitar oriented sound - which is great - although I suspect that I'll like the two Chemical Brothers produced tracks even more... Enjoy!

With '74 Is The New 24' the disco/ dance music legend proves that he's still got it at age 74. I'm looking forward to hearing some remixes of this one... Enjoy!
SummersRadio™ New Music/ Video + Free Download! 8:58 - '8:58' (Official Video)
First the bad news - after 25 years together Orbital have decided to call it quits - again! They've officially announced it on their website: http://orbitalofficial.com/news.asp Boo. Hiss.
The good news is that one half of the brotherly duo (Paul Hartnoll) already has a new song, video and an upcoming album and tour in the works! '8:58'is the name of his new project - it's also the name of the debut single and video.
'8:58' sounds rather like Orbital (shocker!) - it's multidimensional, grand, wacky, orchestral and insightful - and it features an intro by actor Cillian Murphy. If it's to your liking the song is currently available as a free download here: http://eightfiftyeight.com/

'All The Rage Back Home' is rousing rocker that finds them sounding rather R.E.M.-ish (when they were still good). It begins quietly but you'll soon be singing along to the 'Hey hey hey's'... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Cover/ Video! School Of Seven Bells - 'I Got Knocked Down (But I'll Get Up)'
School Of Seven Bells have released a new song and video online called 'I Got Knocked Down (But I'll Get Up)'! The song is a cover of the track written by Joey Ramone from his posthumous 2002 album 'Don't Worry About Me'. The cover is the last song that School Of Seven Bells member Benjamin Curtis worked on before he died from lymphoma in December of last year - and it's available now on iTunes. http://smarturl.it/sviibknockdown
Benjamin Curtis kept working on recording music on his laptop while he was in the hospital and the other half of the duo - Alejandra de la Deheza - plans to finish the recording and release a new album. This version is quite different from Joey Ramone's original - it has a dreamy, surreal New Order-ish feel to it.
The video is currently premiering on Youtube exclusively by Culture Collide - and for this reason the video is not yet available to embed here on our blog. When/ if it becomes available I will post it, but for now we can only provide the link - but it's more than worth the extra click to check this one out - the video is a beautiful tribute to Curtis... Enjoy!
SummersRadio™ New Video! Max Cooper - 'Seething' (Official Video)
Max Cooper has released a new video online for his song 'Seething'! 'Seething' is from his debut studio album called 'Human' which was released in March on Fields Records and it's available on iTunes.
In addition to being a musician, the London artist/ producer also has a Ph.D. in computational biology. The 'Seething' video was created by Andy Lomas who is a CGI specialist that has worked on both 'Avatar' and 'The Matrix' - and he's a mathematician.
The video features cellular forms "which uses digital simulation of a simplified biological model of morphogenesis, with three-dimensional structures generated out of interconnected particles to represent cells." You can learn more about Andy Lomas' work here: http://www.andylomas.com/
'Seething' is quite a magnificent creation - from both a musical and visual perspective... Enjoy!

This video features a somewhat unlikely guest appearance - from Pamela Anderson. No doubt they got together over their love of animals and support for PETA - so we can squash those dating and sex tape rumours right now :)
Here's Moz and Pamela hanging out at the top of the Capitol Records building in Los Angeles... Enjoy!
SummersRadio™ New Music/ Video! Marco Bailey - 'Something I Remember ' (Original Mix)

It's released on his own MB Elektronics label and it's currently available exclusively on Beatport: http://www.beatport.com/release/something-i-remember-ep/1296031

Royksopp & Robyn are releasing a new EP/ mini-album next week called 'Do It Again'! The 'Do It Again' EP features five tracks - 'Monument', 'Sayit', 'Do It Again', 'Every Little Thing' and 'Inside The Idle Hour Club' - and all five tracks were written by the threesome.
When I heard the first single 'Do It Again' I found it to be a bit too Top 40/ radio friendly sounding for my liking - but then the very next track on the EP - 'Sayit' - goes in the other direction - as it was clearly made for the clubs and underground techno lovers.
This is the fantastic new video for 'Say It' - featuring a talking dog, a dancing chicken and so much more... Enjoy!
