SummersRadio™ New Remix! Metric!

SummersRadio™ New Remix! Metric - 'Twilight Galaxy' (Dave LeBon Remix) I must say that I think that artists having remix contests is one of the best new things to happen to the music scene in some time. Everybody wins - regardless of who wins! Remixers get a chance to show their skills - the band gets all kinds of new perspectives on their songs - often from a full spectrum of sub-genres. Then when they release a collection of them we get a chance to buy the top quality chosen winners, and then on top of that there's all kinds of other remixes out there that you can download.

And so it is with Metric and their current contest to remix tracks from their 'Fantasies' album. There's a tonne of mixes out there so there's a lot to wade through to find the most postworthy ones. I love Metric so it's a challenge not to post one everyday - this is only my third in as many weeks! So far I've gone with Krusha's remix of 'Help I'm Alive' and the awesome DJ JMP remix of 'Stadium Love'. There's another mix of 'Twilight Galaxy' currently making the rounds on the big blogs by The Gripp, but I like this one more. This is the Dave LeBon Remix - quite suitable for a laid back semi-sunny Sunday afternoon! 'I'm higher than high Lower than deep'... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Remix! + Free Download! Salt 'n Pepa!/ iamxl!

SummersRadio™ New Remix! + Free Download! Salt 'n Pepa - 'Push It' (iamxl remix) 'Push It' originated as the b-side to Salt 'n Pepa's single 'Tramp' and was called 'I Like It When Justin Pushes It In Me'! It was then remixed by San Francisco dj and producer Cameron Paul, renamed and later added to Salt 'n Pepa's debut 'Hot, Cool & Vicious' in 1987. The album went platinum and made Salt 'n Pepa the first female rap act (group or solo) to ever do so. iamxl is Vancouver dj and producer Jon Hamlin who has remixed artists as diverse as John Lennon, Joy Division, Deadmau5 and the Bloody Beatroots. This is his latest remix - an awesome remix of a club and hip hop classic... Enjoy!

It's available physically as an 11 track cd with newly pressed editions of his 'Swim' cd and the lp will now come with a code to download both the regular and remixed versions of 'Swim'.

SummersRadio™ New Music! Wolf Parade!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Wolf Parade - 'Semi-Precious Stone' When Wolf Parade were working on their 'Expo 86' album there was talk that it may end up being a double album - but when it was released it June it was just a single disc. However since there were lots of songs left from the sessions and the band is now on tour they've decided to release two brand new songs online! This one is somewhat Bowie-esque... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ Nicole Atkins & The Sea

SummersRadio™ Nicole Atkins & The Sea - 'Neptune City' Nicole Atkins was born in Neptune, New Jersey overlooking the Shark River - which she has cited as a major inspiration for her music - particularly the imagery in this song, the title track from her full length debut 'Neptune City'. I love the dreamlike quality of this video... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! + Free Download! Nicole Atkins!

SummersRadio™ New Music! + Free Legal Download! Nicole Atkins - 'Vultures' Nicole Atkins is scheduled to release her second full length album entitled 'Mondo Amore' in January. 'Vultures' is the first song to be released - and it's a bit darker sounding than anything off of her full length debut 'Neptune City'. Perhaps this is not surprising considering that last spring she replaced her entire backing band 'The Sea' and renamed them 'The Black Sea'! If the song is to your liking you can download a copy for free from her official website here: http://www.nicoleatkins.com/  Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ Rarity! Metric!

SummersRadio™ Rarity! Metric - 'It's A Sin' One of my current favorite bands covers a song by one of my all time favorite artists - and I like it... go figure!! This is currently unreleased and was performed as part of a live cover session for the European music streaming company Spotify. Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Pet Shop Boys!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Pet Shop Boys - 'Together' (Ultimate Mix) Today in the U.K. Pet Shop Boys release their latest best of compilation (their third) called 'Ultimate'! It will be released here on both a single and double disc (cd+dvd) deluxe edition on Nov. 9th - and on itunes tomorrow (single disc only)! EMI suggested the release to celebrate the fact that it's been 25 years since the release of their first hit 'West End Girls'. The single disc contains 18 hits in chronological order plus this new track 'Together'. The deluxe edition includes a second dvd disc with 48 (!) tracks - including 27 television clips (many rare and previously unreleased) from Top Of The Pops and numerous other programs - as well as their complete 21 track performance from Glastonbury 2010, which the Daily Telegraph described as "One of the most spectacular Glastonbury moments ever"! I've seen them live twice and I must say that they certainly know how to put on a show!

'Together' will also be released as a two part physical single on November 29th. The first part will feature four tracks - the 'Ultimate Mix' and 'Extended Mix' of 'Together', 'Glad All Over' - a cover of the early 60's hit from The Dave Clark Five, which has become a victory anthem for the football club in Blackpool - which is also Chris Lowe's hometown. It also contains 'I Cried For Us' - a song from the late Kate McGarrigle (Rufus Wainwright's Mum) - which Neil sang in June at her tribute concert in London. The second single will contain a radio edit of 'Together' and a new 'Grum Mix' of 'West End Girls'!

So there you have it - all the latest PSB news - here's the new single... Enjoy!
