SummersRadio™ New Remixes! Jaydee - 'Plastic Dreams (2011 Remixes)' (Dino Lenny & Amnesia Remix/ Koen Groeneveld Remix) 'Plastic Dreams' is one of those songs like New Order's 'Blue Monday' - it never really leaves clubland. This classic, first released on R&S Records in 1992 is still played in clubs - and every few years someone does a new remix. It will always be around dancefloors and parties because it's just that good! And here's some good news for fans of the song - the Dutch label Spinnin Records has just released the '2011 Remixes' EP containing seven brand new house and techno remixes!
I'm not going to post all seven - just two standouts! First up is this remix from Italy's Dino Anthony Lanni aka Dino Lenny and Roberto Longiaru aka Jose Amnesia - who's version is fairly faithful to the original - but different enough to be interesting. That is until a thunderstorm breaks out midway through the song (complete with the obligatory car alarm - that's how they always unfold here in Vancouver!) carrying it into another dimension! This mix will sound great in a packed club - and perhaps even better at an outdoor party - on a clear night - just to mess with people's heads! :)
This is the 'Dino Lenny & Amnesia Remix' of Jaydee's 'Plastic Dreams'... Enjoy!
Jaydee is a duo consisting of the Netherlands Robin Albers and Italy's DJ Jay Dee. Here's another standout 2011 remix from one of the Netherland's current top techno producers Koen Groeneveld... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music/ Remixes! Little Dragon!
SummersRadio™ New Music/ Remixes! Little Dragon - 'Ritual Union' (Original Mix/ Tensnake Remix/ Maya Jane Coles Remix) Sweden's Little Dragon have just released a new EP this week! It's for their new single 'Ritual Union' - which is the second single and title track for their forthcoming third album which is due for release on July 26th.
The EP (and the album) is released on London's Peacefrog Records - it contains the title track - plus two remixes of it - and a remix of their last single 'Nightlight' by the Unknown Mortal Orchestra. I'm having a difficult time choosing which versions of 'Ritual Union' I like best so I'm going to post all three! In any case it's a great tune for a (mostly!) sunny summer day like today!
First up is the 'Original Mix'... Enjoy!
This is one of the two remixes on the new EP - this one is by Marco Niemerski aka Tensnake - a dj/ producer from Germany. This is the 'Tensnake Remix' of 'Ritual Union'... Enjoy!
And this is the other remix of the title track on the 'Ritual Union' EP - this one by the London artist/ dj/ producer Maya Jane Coles... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! DJ Chus & Pepo!
SummersRadio™ New Music! DJ Chus & Pepo - 'Shopska Salata' (Manuel De La Mare Mish Mash) Spain's DJ Chus & Pepo have just released a new EP called 'Shopska Salata' on the 303lovers Label. It contains the original mix and three remixes - and this one by Manuel De La Mare blows the others away!
Emanuele Mieme aka Manuel De La Mare is a dj/producer from Italy who's also one of the founders of the 303lovers label. Now I understand why some labels will choose to post only edits of their tracks on Youtube (and other sites) - to keep scammers from turning them into mp3 files for free. However, it's too bad that those ruiners have ruined it for us honest people who just want other humans to hear the entire song to encourage them to purchase it.
So at most there's only a 3 minute 20 second version available to share - but I honestly think that if you like this remix that you'd realize it within that time frame. I was intrigued from the start - and then at the 30 second mark I was like 'Yes! Sold!' And the good news is that the full song is 7 minutes 49 seconds - this is the 'Manuel De La Mare Mish Mash' remix of 'Shopska Salata'... Enjoy! *update - the full version is now posted*

SummersRadio™ Concert News! Cut Copy! OMD!
SummersRadio™ Concert News! Cut Copy! OMD! (separate shows!) A couple of great concerts have been announced today for fans of electronic music - both new and pioneering! Aside from both concerts just being announced today, I thought I'd post them together because Cut Copy are clearly one of many bands that have been influenced by OMD - they sound particularly similar on their recent single 'Need You Now'...
Now compare that with OMD's 'If You Leave' from John Hughes classic 1986 film 'Pretty In Pink'...
Cut Copy will be coming to Vancouver on October 7th to perform at the Vogue. Pre-sale tickets are available NOW (as of noon today) through their internet community here: http://tixx1.artistarena.com/cutcopy/
Cut Copy are touring in support of their latest album 'Zonoscope' and they've announced that these new dates throughout September and October will be their final North American headlining shows in support of this record. They've also announced that 'Blink And You'll Miss A Revolution' will be the next official single and it will be released on August 9th digitally, followed by a release on 12" vinyl shortly after. The package will include remixes from Toro Y Moi, Chicken Lips, Das Moth & Kenji Takimi, Tornado Wallace, and Henning Furst.
Here's the new remix of 'Blink And You'll Miss A Revolution" by Chazwick Bundick aka Tori Y Moi... Enjoy!
Blink And You'll Miss a Revolution (Toro Y Moi Remix) by cutcopymusic
Also announced today is the Georgia Straight presentation of OMD! Orchestral Manoeuvers In The Dark are coming to Vancouver on Sept. 30th to perform at the Commodore. Tickets go on sale through Ticketmaster this Friday, but there's also a pre-sale starting tomorrow at 10am. You can find out more info here: http://www.straight.com/article-402304/vancouver/georgia-straight-presents-omd-commodore-ballroom
(password hint: their latest album is called 'History Of ______') :)
The synthpop pioneers are touring in support of their 11th studio album called 'History Of Modern' which was released last fall. 'History Of Modern (Part 1)' was released as the third single from the album a few months ago and the band had a contest inviting fans to make a video. This was the winner... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Bart Skils!
SummersRadio™ New Music! Bart Skils - 'Dust' Bart Schils aka Bart Skils is a Dutch dj/ producer/ promoter from Amsterdam. He's just released a new two track EP called 'Dust/ Santiago' on Christian Smith's Tronic label today! Now you may recognize the vocal sample used in 'Dust' - although it sounds like a possibly crazy person like Nick Nolte or even Jack Nicholson from some movie - it's actually from another song called 'So Get Up' by Portuguese duo Underground Sound Of Lisbon (who are also responsible for another underground classic from NYLX that I posted last November http://summersradio.blogspot.com/2010/11/summersradio-classic-nylx-feat-lula.html).
'So Get Up' features lyrics by Korvorwong aka Darin Pappas - who is now more commonly known as artist/ musician Ithaka. The song was first released in 1993 as a b-side and then properly as an a-side single in 1994. I will post the original as well as it deserves props but you may also recognize the sample from other sources - including as the intro for Miss Kittin's 'Radio Caroline Vol. 1' mix cd in 2003, and sampled in Stretch & Vern's 1997 hit 'Get Up! Go Insane!'. It's also been sampled in several other songs - as an acapella version was included on the 1994 single.
Although the sample may be familiar, Bart Skils track 'Dust' sounds fresh for 2011 due to the wicked groove he's created to accompany it... Enjoy!
![]()
The Underground Sound Of Lisbon was a collaboration between Rui da Silva aka Doctor J and DJ Vibe. A tenth anniversary edition of 'So Get Up' was released in 2004 featuring 8 mixes - including remixes by Danny Tenaglia, Junior Vasquez, Eric Kupper and others. I still like the acid house feel of the original version - here's the 'Original Mix' of 'So Get Up' from the Underground Sound Of Lisbon featuring the spoken word lyrics of (and written by) Ithaka... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ 4th Of July! Classic! Full Intention!
SummersRadio™ 4th Of July! Classic! Full Intention - 'America (I Love America)' (Original Sugar Daddy 12" Mix) Here's a classic for the American fans of SummersRadio™! 'I Love America' was first a disco hit for Switzerland's Patrick Juvet in 1978.
Full Intention is a London duo consisting of Michael Gray and Jon Pearn. They formed in 1990 and more recently Gray has released a number of singles under his own name - and Pearn is one half of the duo known as Bodyrox. Duvet's version of the song clocked in at over 14 minutes - Full Intention's version of the song is more of a remake than a cover. They completely changed the (and radically reduced the number of) lyrics - but kept the chorus. They renamed it 'America (I Love America)' in 1995 and it went on to hit number 1 on the club charts in the summer of '96.
As is the case with many club tunes, it's the production that makes this song great - especially on the vocal harmonies. This is the 'Original Sugar Daddy 12" Mix'... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ Classic! Electronic!
SummersRadio™ Classic! Electronic - 'The Patience Of A Saint' I mentioned the band Electronic in yesterday's Stop Modernists post - and how two of the three songs that Neil Tennant sang on were singles. Well this is the third - which SHOULD have been released as a single - a witty duet between New Order's Bernard Sumner and the Pet Shop Boys Neil Tennant - not to mention featuring the Smith's Johnny Marr - I mean, how cool is that?!
I always wished that remixes had been made of this song - but they never were. There's still time though - Electronic's self titled debut album was released in 1991 - they could easily release a 20th anniversary edition with all new remixes - I'm talking to you EMI!
Despite it's apparent destiny to remain a relatively unknown album track, part of what makes this song so great are the sardonic lyrics. Some of my favorite lines are 'And if I drove a faster car, I'd drive it bloody well' and 'Why should I care? I'd rather watch drying paint'. This is 'The Patience Of A Saint'... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Stop Modernists featuring Chris Lowe!
SummersRadio™ New Music! Stop Modernists featuring Chris Lowe - 'Subculture' (Main Vocal Extended/ Dub) Yesterday's Canada Day post featured a new remix from the Pet Shop Boys - today's new music features vocals from one of them - but not singer Neil Tennant's! Stop Modernists is the name of a collaboration between Finnish dj/ producers and longtime friends Jori Hulkkonen and Alex Neiminen.
'Subculture' is a cover of New Order's classic single from their excellent album 'Low-Life' which was released in 1985. It features vocals from Chris Lowe - the quieter half of the Pet Shop Boys duo - the one who seldom speaks - and who even more rarely sings! The song is released on the Helsinki based Keys Of Life label and features two versions - the 'Main Vocal Extended' and 'Dub' versions. The 'Dub' version still features Lowe on vocals but via a vocoder, adding to it's electro feel.
Of course the Pet Shop Boys are no strangers to New Order having previously been part of the 'alternative dance supergroup' Electronic - that featured New Order's Bernard Sumner and the Smith's guitarist Johnny Marr. They collaborated on three tracks that all featured Neil Tennant on vocals - two of which were singles - 'Getting Away With It' and 'Disappointed'.
This cover is very faithful to the original - which may lead one to question why one would do it - but when you've been a fan of New Order and the Pet Shop Boys as long as I have it makes no difference! It's a quality cover - with Chris Lowe's delivery being similar to Bernard Sumner's trademark understated vocals. I like both versions of the track, so here they are - starting with the 'Main Vocal Extended' version... Enjoy!
And here's the slightly more electro flavored 'Dub' version... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ Canada Day! New Remix! Hidden Cameras + Pet Shop Boys!
SummersRadio™ Canada Day! New Remix! Hidden Cameras - 'Colour Of A Man' (Pet Shop Boys Organic Mix) Well I posted a new Air remix a few hours ago, but as it's Canada Day today it seems appropriate to also post a Canadian artist - and I found a brand new remix as well!
Hidden Cameras are from Toronto and they've been making music for the past ten years - in fact they are celebrating their 10 year anniversary with a show at Barbican in London tomorrow! The show will also feature a performance from Chilly Gonzales - along with a showing of his feature film 'Ivory Tower' which includes cameos from fellow Canadian's Feist, Peaches and Tiga. The show is part of 'Canadian Blast' - a weekend of Canada Day celebrations in London - that also featured Blue Rodeo performing in Trafalger Square earlier today.
And as a bonus Hidden Cameras have just released this new remix online by one of London's finest! 'Colour Of A Man' is a track from their last album - their fifth - called 'Origin: Orphan', which was released on the Arts & Crafts label in 2009. This is the new 'Pet Shop Boys Organic Remix'... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Mr. Federick & Matteo Batini - 'Eleven' I was searching for a new tune to help start the Canada Day long weekend off right - and I just found it!

It's released on Beenoise Records which is a new digital label - also based in Rome - that was born on January 1st of this year.
