SummersRadio™ New Compilation! Bedrock Records - 'The Underground Sound Of Miami' Maher Daniel & Casa (aka Mike Casa) - 'Music, Machines & Life' (Original Mix)/ Mark Reeve, Dean Demanuele, Pig & Dan - 'Machines' (Original Mix)/ Robert Babicz - 'Echo From The Past' (Original Mix)
Today marks the final day of this year's Winter Music Conference - which has been held annually each March in Miami since 1985! This year marks this first year that Bedrock Records (the label started by John Digweed and Nick Muir in 1999) has released their own label sampler for the event. 'The Underground Sound Of Miami' features ten exclusive new tracks (unmixed) and is currently available exclusively on Beatport: http://www.beatport.com/#release/underground-sound-of-miami/876736
I've chosen three standout tracks to feature - two spacey techno numbers involving machines, and an uplifting echo from the past. First up we have the sixth track on the compilation from Maher Daniel and Casa (aka Mike Casa) called 'Music, Machines & Life'... Enjoy!
This is the eighth track on the compilation from Mark Reeve, Dean Demanuele, and Pig & Dan - with another trippy tune about music an machines - this one is simply called 'Machines'... Enjoy!
This is the third track on the compilation - a new uplifting progressive house tune from Germany's Robert Babicz called 'Echo From The Past'... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Laurent Garnier!
SummersRadio™ New Music! Laurent Garnier featuring The L.B.S. Crew - 'Our Futur' (Detroit Mix)
France's techno legend Laurent Garnier is releasing a new EP called 'Timeless' on April 1st! 'Timeless' is a three track EP featuring 'Jacques In The Box' and two remixes of 'Our Futur' - the 'Loud Disco Mix' and the 'Detroit Mix' - and it's out on the Ed Banger Records label.
The full EP will be available on itunes on April 1st, but Beatport has an exclusive advance release of this 'Detroit Mix' of 'Our Futur' available now: http://www.beatport.com/#release/timeless/885419
The feel of this song fits in well with the EP's name - as it certainly has a timeless quality to it. On one hand it seems a bit familiar - with it's Giorgio Moroder and early Detroit techno influences - musically speaking it sounds like it could be from some classic sci-fi film soundtrack. But it also sounds current - with the robotic vocal bits featuring positive lyrics about our future. It clocks in at over nine minutes long and suggests to me that the future could very well be quite the epic journey... :) Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ Rare Remix! E.L.O.!
SummersRadio™ Rare Remix! Electric Light Orchestra - 'Last Train To London' (House de la Funk Remix)
As noted in yesterday's Chemical Brothers post it seems that people are bringing E.L.O. back - from Boston's Magnetic Fields to Manchester's Coronation Street - or at least some people in their respective crews are :) So I thought I'd do my part for Canada by posting a rare remix of their song 'Last Train To London' from their number one album from 1979 called 'Discovery'.
E.L.O. were from Birmingham England and were pretty cool back in the day - they used both keyboards and an orchestra prominently - and they even later toured with a spaceship stage complete with lasers! 'Last Train To London' was released as a double A-side single coupled with 'Confusion' and it reached the top 10 in the U.K. at the end of 1979 and it scraped into the top 40 in North American at the start of 1980.
This is a rare remix by House de la Funk - a one man project from Pereira Colombia. This is his house remix from 2009 - although quite frankly he didn't have to change too much as it was already a great dance tune with an awesome bassline and massive keyboard hooks... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Videos! The Chemical Brothers!
SummersRadio™ New Videos! The Chemical Brothers - 'Star Guitar' (Live In Japan)/ 'Don't Think' (Live In Japan)
The Chemical Brothers have just released two new videos online! Both are from their new live film called 'Don't Think: A Film By Adam Smith' which had a limited theatrical release last month, and is released for sale on March 26th. It will be released in three different formats - a cd/ dvd combo, a cd/ blu-ray combo, and there's also a limited edition 10" book format featuring exclusive images - that also includes the cd and dvd. You can pre-order them here: http://widgets.platform.emi.com/landing/64aa63cf3e5a44c2a20b9276045b719d.html
(Just as a side note... I usually try to do a new post everyday - but I missed doing one yesterday as I was kept busy with a trip to suburbia to the Red Robinson Theatre in Coquitlam to meet and greet William Roache - who plays Ken Barlow on the legendary British soap Coronation Street. Yes, I'm a massive Corrie fan! :) For those who don't know the show takes place in the fictional town of Weatherfield - which is based on the city of Salford - a suburb of Manchester - which is where The Chemical Brothers hail from, so it seems fitting to be featuring them today!
Here's an interesting bit of synchronicity for you - I saw the Magnetic Fields in concert on Sunday - and the first song they played over the speakers at the end of the show was E.L.O's 'Mr. Blue Sky' - and at the William Roache show last night they started his show off with a ten minute video featuring highlights from the first 52 years (!) of Coronation Street - and one of the three songs used to soundtrack it was 'Mr. Blue Sky'!)
Ok, back to The Chems...
The film has received rave reviews - here are a few quotes... Mixmag gives it five out of five stars and calls it 'the cinematic even of the decade', The Word calls it 'Phenomenally exciting - could well be the most thrilling live movie ever', and The Sunday Telegraph calls it 'An astonishing, celluloid rush of blood to the head'. So, it's good then? :)
Having seen The Chemical Brothers live (and met them - more on that below) I can certainly vouch for their mind blowing live shows. It's not just their music that has made them both pioneers and masters of electronica music - it's also been their live shows featuring their amazing visuals and light shows. Here's a clip from their new film 'Don't Think' - this is 'Star Guitar' (Live In Japan)... Enjoy!
The dvd/ blu-ray features 20 tracks and the cd features 10 - here are the full tracklistings...
"Don't Think" DVD Tracklisting
I brought the cd cover with me (as I usually do to any concert - just in case - although this meeting was pre-arranged) for them to sign. I got to chat with Tom first for a while and then I asked him if he'd sign my cd - he said that he'd have to get a marker first. I replied that I had one as I like to be prepared. He then went on to say how that was the original title of that album - they originally intended to call it 'Be Prepared'. It was 1999 after all with it's pre-millennium tensions and uncertainty about what the future and the year 2000 would hold - Y2K was a genuine fear at the time. However after further thought they decided to go the totally opposite route and call it 'Surrender' instead - true story!
Needless to say their show that night was amazing and was one of the best concerts I've ever seen. So I'm looking forward to the cd/ dvd release of 'Don't Think' on Monday - this is the video for the title track from the film... Enjoy!

Before I post the next video released from 'Don't Think' (Live In Japan) I'll tell you an interesting anecdote from when I met The Chemical Brothers. It was on the tour for their third album 'Surrender' in 1999. They were performing at The Forum here in Vancouver and DJ Shadow was opening. Shadow was amazing as always but mid way through his set we had to go to an office at the side of the venue to meet Tom and Ed.
I brought the cd cover with me (as I usually do to any concert - just in case - although this meeting was pre-arranged) for them to sign. I got to chat with Tom first for a while and then I asked him if he'd sign my cd - he said that he'd have to get a marker first. I replied that I had one as I like to be prepared.

SummersRadio™ New Music! Green Velvet & Harvard Bass!
SummersRadio™ New Music! Green Velvet & Harvard Bass - 'Kickin It' (Original Mix)
Chicago electronica/ techno legend Curtis Jones aka Green Velvet (among other monikers) has teamed up with San Diego dj/ producer Victor Ramos aka Harvard Bass for his newest release! The pair have just released the two track 'Jumbo Mumbo' EP on the Relief Records label featuring the original mixes of the title track - and a song called 'Kickin It' - and it's currently available exclusively on Beatport: http://www.beatport.com/#release/jumbo-mumbo-ep/877475
I'm not a big fan of the vocal sample on the title track - I actually think they should have called this the 'Kickin It' EP - as it's the b-side that's the real standout here. The song is a classic disco/ house/ techno hybrid - think Giorgio Moroder style backing synths with classic Green Velvet soul filled vocals. The only thing I wish were different about this track was that it was twice as long - ten minutes instead of five (this video is edited slightly) because it's that awesome! Enjoy...!

SummersRadio™ New Music! The Magnetic Fields!
SummersRadio™ New Music! The Magnetic Fields - 'The Horrible Party'/ 'God Wants Us To Wait'/ 'Andrew In Drag' (video)
Boston's Magnetic Fields are performing in Vancouver tonight! When I last posted The Magnetic Fields it was in December to announce this show - but there wasn't any new music available at the time, so instead I posted three of my favorites from the band which you can check out here: http://summersradio.blogspot.ca/2011/12/summersradio-concert-news-magnetic.html
Their new album 'Love At The Bottom Of The Sea' was released on March 6th on Merge Records. The 15 track album is available on download, as well as on cd and vinyl. Now I wanted to post my favorite song from it first - 'The Horrible Party' - as it seemed most fitting for an ironic post St. Patrick's Day post - and not only for the song title itself - both the musical backing and singer Claudia Gonson's delivery sound almost Irish.
But alas, 'The Horrible Party' is not available for sharing anywhere. I tried to upload it to Soundcloud (with the download function disabled - as always) but it was blocked by EMI Australia. I must say that it's a sad state of affiars with all the modern technology we have, that you can't simply play a song for someone - unless you use illegal file sharing sites - which I've never endorsed. All I want to do is allow people to hear it - not steal it - just listen to it in hopes that they'll like it, and consider buying it. I'm having a deja-vu here - you can check out my recent rant against UMG and the new Arcade Fire track here if you missed it: http://summersradio.blogspot.ca/2012/03/summersradio-new-music-arcade-fire.html
*UPDATE* 'The Horrible Party'! The last line of the song is the clincher... Enjoy!
So - on to my next favorite track on the new album then - which is available to share on Youtube - for now anyway!
This is the album's opening song called 'God Wants Us To Wait'... Enjoy!
'Andrew In Drag' is the first official single - and video - from the new album. It features some catchy lyrics - although I've never been a fan of the f-bomb - and I don't mean fuck :) 'Andrew In Drag' is also available as a 7" vinyl single - I like the slight variation on the album's covert art for it's artwork:
This is the video for their latest single 'Andrew In Drag'... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! John Lagora!
SummersRadio™ New Music! John Lagora - 'Down' (Ramon Tapia Remix)
As today is St. Patrick's Day naturally I considered posting a song from an Irish artist. However, I didn't come across one that had a suitable new release out. I thought about posting some new Alan Fitzpatrick - but I discovered that's he's actually from Southampton England. So instead I've just gone with a cool new song regardless of where the artist was from - it turns out that John Lagora is from Oberhausen Germany. Now most people celebrate St. Patrick's day by drinking beer - and I'm pretty sure that the German's (like myself) generally also enjoy drinking... you know, Oktoberfest and all - so it works me! :) So... Cheers!
'Down' is a track from Lagora's new EP called 'Contrast Part II' which is released on Mindshake Records. The EP features four tracks including the 'Original Mix' of 'Down', this remix by Ramon Tapia, 'Maersk', a track called 'Dink' (!) and is the follow up to last summer's 'Contrast' EP. This song is a fine mix of Chicago Stoner House™ and trippy techno - and it features some cool cowbell sounds as well! The EP is currently available exclusively on Beatport: http://www.beatport.com/#release/contrast-part-ii/875722
Please note that this is an edit - the full song is eight minutes and eight seconds long - so you have more than three more bonus minutes to get down. This is the new remix of 'Down' from Belgium's Ramon Tapia... Enjoy!

So instead I've just gone with a cool new song regardless of where the artist was from - it turns out that John Lagora is from Oberhausen Germany. Now most people celebrate St. Patrick's day by drinking beer - and I'm pretty sure that the German's (like myself) generally also enjoy drinking... you know, Oktoberfest and all - so it works me! :) So... Cheers!
'Down' is a track from Lagora's new EP called 'Contrast Part II' which is released on Mindshake Records. The EP features four tracks including the 'Original Mix' of 'Down', this remix by Ramon Tapia, 'Maersk', a track called 'Dink' (!) and is the follow up to last summer's 'Contrast' EP. This song is a fine mix of Chicago Stoner House™ and trippy techno - and it features some cool cowbell sounds as well! The EP is currently available exclusively on Beatport: http://www.beatport.com/#release/contrast-part-ii/875722
Please note that this is an edit - the full song is eight minutes and eight seconds long - so you have more than three more bonus minutes to get down. This is the new remix of 'Down' from Belgium's Ramon Tapia... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Hot Chip!
SummersRadio™ New Music! Hot Chip - 'Flutes'/ 'I Feel Better'
London's Hot Chip have just released a new song online called 'Flutes'! It's not clear at this point if 'Flutes' will be the first official single or not - but it's definitely the first new song released online from their forthcoming new album (their fifth) called 'In Our Heads' which is set for release on June 11th on the Domino Records label.
Domino Records have just posted this new video online of the band in the studio - featuring lots of spinning camera shots. Now I'm pretty sure that cameras don't get dizzy - but this is yet another SummersRadio™ 4:20 post :) - so even if you're not indulging in any illegal non-medicinal activity, you may feel some slight dizziness with this post anyway!
'Flutes' sounds like another fine Hot Chip tune - with typically soulful vocals and some occasionally trippy danceable synthesized grooves... Enjoy!
Bonus Track! 'I Feel Better' was the second single released from Hot Chip's last album - 2010's 'One Life Stand'. Yes, I hate that they use autotune in this song - of course you get the full irony of it in this video - but they're still using it! However, in time I've been able to forgive them for doing so - especially with beautifully simplistic lyrics like 'When you hold me, I feel better' :)
This is the highlarious fake boy band destroying video for 'I Feel Better'... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music + New Video! Orbital!
SummersRadio™ New Music! Orbital featuring Zola Jesus - 'New France' (video)/ (L-Vis 1990's Rewound Mix)/ (Tom Middleton Cosmos Mix)
It's time for a puppet show - hoo-ray! Orbital have just released their new video for their new official single called 'New France' - and it stars a large puppet lion who likes to party! 'New France' is the new single from their forthcoming eighth studio album - amusingly called 'Wonky' - which is set for release on April 2nd on the ACP Recordings label.
'Wonky' will be available on all formats including a regular and deluxe digital download, a single and double cd, and on vinyl as well. The regular download/ single cd features nine new tracks, and the deluxe download/ double cd feaures an additional five live audio tracks. All five are classics that were recorded live in Australia last year - including 'Lush', 'Impact', 'Satan', 'Belfast', and 'Chime/Crime'. The deluxe download also features two video tracks - for 'Never' and 'Straight Sun'.
The new single 'New France' is the first official single from the 'Wonky' album (although 'Never' and 'Straight Sun' have been released on the interweb) and it's available on itunes now. There's also a new four track remix EP of the song being released on Monday featuring remixes from L-Vis 1990, Tom Middleton, and The Hydraulic Dogs. First let's start with the party lion and the new video which isn't even officially on Youtube yet - it's 'unlisted' which means that only those with the link can see it - it doesn't even show up in Youtube searches!
This is the awesome brand new video for 'New France' which features guest vocals from American singer Nika Roza Danilova aka Zola Jesus... Enjoy!
The 'New France' remix EP out next week features the single version plus three mixes - and all three are pretty solid so I couldn't post just one. This remix from London's L-Vis 1990 is my favorite thus far - there are fewer vocals, some nice squelchy acid sounds, and it just seems to be the most Orbital to me :) ... Enjoy!
This 'Tom Middleton Cosmos Mix' is also to my liking... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Miike Snow!
SummersRadio™ New Music! Miike Snow featuring Lykke Li - 'Black Tin Box'/ Miike Snow - 'Devil's Work' (Alex Metric Remix)
Swedish electronic pop trio Miike Snow have just released their new album online this week! 'Happy To You' is the band's second album and the follow up to their self titled 2009 debut. There will be several versions of the release available - the deluxe digital version features 14 songs - two regular tracks plus two additional remixes, along with two video tracks and is available now on itunes.
The album will also be released physically on a single cd, double cd, and on vinyl on March 26th (U.K.)/ 27th (North America). The single disc features only ten tracks, the vinyl has all 12, and the 'Happy To You' Deluxe Edition double cd features the same 12, plus the two remixes featured on the deluxe digital version, plus an additional three remixes exclusive to this package!
'Black Tin Box' is not a single - yet - but I suspect it will be soon. It's certainly one of the album's standout tracks and it features guest vocals from fellow Swedish singer Li Lykke Timotej Svensson Zachrisson aka Lykke Li... Enjoy!
This is one of the remixes featured on both the deluxe digital and double cd version of 'Happy To You' - a remix of the album track 'Devil's Work' by Alex Metric... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music + Bonus Tracks! Gossip!
SummersRadio™ New Music! Gossip - 'Perfect World'/ 'Standing In The Way Of Control' (Tronik Youth Remix)/ 'Heavy Cross' (Burns Remix)
Portland's Gossip (now sans 'The') have just released their new single online today! 'Perfect World' is the first single from their forthcoming fifth album which is called 'A Joyful Noise' and is set for release on May 22nd. The eleven track album is produced by Brian Higgins aka Xenomania and 'Perfect World' is available on itunes as of today.
I have mixed feelings on this song - Beth Ditto's vocals sound amazing as always -but I find the musical backing terribly ordinary. I reckon that this has more to do with the 'hit' producer than the band itself. Regardless, I should mention that this is not unprecedented - although I'm indeed a fan of the band I tend to favor some of their remixes over some of the regular singles themselves. Thus I look forward to some remixes of this new single - and in the meantime I will feature a couple of remixes of their earlier tracks as well!
For now - this is the first taste of their new album - this is 'Perfect World'... Enjoy!
Bonus Track #1! 'Standing In The Way Of Control' was Gossip's breakthrough single - although it took a couple years to do so. It was first released as a single in North America in 2005, it was released in the U.K. the following year, and then it reached the top 10 when it was re-released in 2007. This remix is from the 2006 U.K. 12" single - this is the 'Tronik Youth Remix'... Enjoy!
Bonus Track #2! 'Heavy Cross' was the first single released from their 2009 album 'Music For Men' - this is the excellent 'Burns Remix'... Enjoy!
