SummersRadio™ New Music! Thievery Corporation!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Thievery Corporation - 'Take My Soul'/ 'Stargazer'/ 'Fragments' Washington D.C. duo Thievery Corporation release their new studio album of original material - their sixth - today! The album is called 'Culture Of Fear' and features their trademark mix of styles including downtempo, trip hop, dub, reggae, acid jazz, hip hop and lounge music. It contains 13 tracks - with a mix of vocal numbers and a few instrumentals. Vocalists include longtime collaborators Lou Lou and Sleepy Wonder - as well as several new contributors including Mr. Lif, Ras Puma, Shana Halligan (of Bitter:Sweet) and newcomer Kota.

Their website describes the new album as 'a simmering and hazy collection of atmospheric gems that recalls their early production work but reflects a thoroughly contemporary zeitgeist of socio-political angst and unease.' Rob Garza and Eric Hilton are never ones to shy away from politics, and both the album title ('Culture Of Fear') and the artwork - featuring a large 'hidden' camera - are common words and objects of discussion in today's society. This point is further driven home with song titles like the album opener 'Web Of Deception' and the seven minute plus instrumental called 'Tower Seven' - named after the 47 storey building which collapsed on 9/11 even though it wasn't hit by a plane. 

Despite it's political overtones the album musically speaking is chock full of relaxing beats, and is released just in time for some summer chillin' in the sun. Here are three standout tracks from 'Culture Of Fear' - first up we have 'Take My Soul'... Enjoy!



This is the fifth track on the album - one of a couple reggae tunes - called 'Stargazer'... Enjoy!



I like the overall spacey feel of this instrumental number - the eleventh track on the album - called 'Fragments'... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! White Lies!

SummersRadio™ New Music! White Lies - 'Holy Ghost' White Lies release their new single 'Holy Ghost' today! 'Holy Ghost' is the third single from their second album called 'Ritual' which was released in January. The song will be available on a limited green vinyl 7" - the single itself is remixed by Alan Moulder and the b-side features a remix from the Bookhouse Boys. Another remix by Shitdisco is available on itunes. (in the U.K.) This new video is directed by Canada - which is a 'directing collective' that is actually from Barcelona - who've previously made videos for Battles, the Vaccines and the Scissor Sisters... Enjoy!

                              

SummersRadio™ New Music! Bjork!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Bjork - 'Crystalline' I mentioned a couple weeks ago when I posted two Bjork 'teaser videos' that I would post the new song in full when it becomes available - and so here we have the full length version of her new single 'Crystalline'! 'Crystalline' is the first single from her forthcoming seventh studio album called 'Biophilia' - which is due for release on Sept. 26th. The song starts off quietly with the focus on her vocals until some minimal beats come in at about 50 seconds in - which carries you along dreamily until a sudden explosion of drum machine fireworks madness shakes you awake in the last minute...
Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Remix! Richard Dinsdale & Wally Lopez!

SummersRadio™ New(ish) Remix! Wally Lopez & Richard Dinsdale - 'Shamba' (Luigi Rocca Remix) Surrey's Richard Dinsdale (that's Surrey U.K. - not the Vancouver suburb!) and Madrid's Wally Lopez initally released their new single 'Shamba' at the end of March. It was released on Italy's 303lovers label and featured the 'Original Mix' and the 'Sideburn & Redondo Remix'. About a month and a half later they released the 'Luigi Rocca Remix' - which I instantly fell in love with! The original mixes have a distinct world music/ house vibe - which is just fine - but I loved how Rocca transformed it by adding a massive rolling bassline and a number of trippy keyboard bits.

HOWEVER there was only a 2 minute sample available on Soundcloud, so I thought I'd wait until someone posted the full version somewhere. So I waited. And I waited. And waited. But I can wait no more! While there's still no full version posted anywhere (legal of course) 303lovers has recently posted a longer edit on youtube - just a titch over 3 minutes long - this shall have to suffice. It's a great remix you see, so you must hear it - and it would sound awesome as part of the soundtrack to anyone's summer of 2011! The full remix is 6:38, and if it's to your liking it's available exclusively on Beatport. This the 'Luigi Rocca Remix' of 'Shamba'... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Umek!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Umek - 'Get Sucked' You can always count on Slovenia's Umek and his label 1605 Music Therapy for a great club tune - and his latest release out this week is no exception! This is the 'Original Mix' - and the only mix thus far - of 'Get Sucked'... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Remixes! Pascal Mollin & Pan-Pot!

SummersRadio™ New Remixes!

The song has just been re-released under both artists names - featuring 4 brand new remixes! This first one is from Italy's Joseph Capriati... Enjoy!



The EP also features remixes from Pig & Dan, Dustin Zahn, and this one from Thorsten Heiser and Pascal Mollin himself... Enjoy!

It's the first single from their forthcoming third album called 'La Liberacion' which is due for release on August 29th.

SummersRadio™ New Music! YACHT!

SummersRadio™ New Music! YACHT - 'Tripped And Fell In Love' YACHT began in 2002 as the solo project of Portland Oregon's Jona Bechtolt. He released three albums between 2002 and 2008 - when the project officially became a duo with the addition of long time collaborator Claire L. Evans.

YACHT released their first album as a duo in 2009 called 'See Mystery Lights' on DFA Records - and they've just released their second album today! It's called 'Shangri-La' and it's also out on the DFA label. It contains ten tracks including the first single 'Dystopia (The Earth Is On Fire)' and the new single 'Utopia'. The wonderfully titled 'Tripped And Fell In Love' is the ninth track on the album and would certainly be a wise choice for single number three... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Ladytron!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Ladytron - 'Ambulances' Ladytron have just released another song from their new album! Last month we featured the first single 'White Elephant' from their fifth studio album entitled 'Gravity The Seducer' which due for release on Sept. 12th - 'Ambulances' is the new official single and is available for download on itunes for just 69 cents...

SummersRadio™ New Music! Igor Cold & Ilya Malyuev!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Igor Cold & Ilya Malyuev - 'For Little' (Ilya Malyuev Version/ Igor Cold Version) Igor Cold and Ilya Malyuev are two Russian producers who've just released a new ep called 'For Little'. It's out on Moscow's Somebody's Story label and contains two distinctly different versions of the title track - one version by each collaborator! I think one might appreciate this song best if heard in the order that I first did - although either way both tracks are great - first up we have the wonderfully dreamy 'Ilya Malyuev Version'... Enjoy!



And here's the club friendly 'Igor Cold Version' of 'For Little' from the 'For Little' EP which is available exclusively on Beatport ... Enjoy!
