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! 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 + Free Download! Warm Speakers - 'Youth' Patrick Berlinquette is a singer/ songwriter from Long Island New York that is currently recording under the name Warm Speakers. He released his five song debut EP called 'Mezcal Noon' in July - and he's just released his newest single 'Youth' online as a free download!
While the 'Mezcal Noon' EP is perhaps best described as chillwave - which is often characterized by having rather lightweight vocals - Patrick actually has a strong singing voice. His new single 'Youth' is definitely more experiemental/ electronic - and expertly produced. If this song is to your liking you can download a copy (along with his debut EP) for free from his Facebook page here: http://www.facebook.com/warmspeakers?sk=wall#!/warmspeakers?sk=app_204974879526524
Interestingly Patrick has chosen the same photo used on The Smiths debut album - of Joe Dallesando from Andy Warhol's 1968 film 'Flesh' - as the cover art for 'Youth'. I particularly like the female vocal sample that starts about two minutes in... Enjoy!
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!
