SummersRadio™ New Music! Comon!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Comon - 'Da Da Da' (Original Mix)

Comon has just released a new cover of Trio's 1982 classic 'Da Da Da'! Who is Comon (with one m) you may ask? According to the label Toolroom Records they are 'shrouded in mystery' and so they shall remain... for now. The single features this 'Original Mix' and a remix from Tom Flynn - although one might argue that this is more of a remix than a cover anyway- as it samples the original quite extensively. It's currently available exclusively on Beatport: http://www.beatport.com/#release/comon-da-da-da/919883

This year marks the 30th anniversary of the release of the original 'Da Da Da' which became a hit all over the world and has been recorded in several languages. It was Trio's only hit outside of Germany and the group disbanded just two years later in 1984. The song became popular again in 1997 when it was used in a Volkswagen commercial.

Comon utilizes keyboard samples and vocals from the original German version of the song but updates it wonderfully for 2012 as a groovy tech house number... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Slam!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Slam - 'Vespula' (Original Mix)

Glasgow's Slam have certainly been prolific lately - it seems like they're releasing a new single or a remix every other week! This week we have a new EP called 'Vespula' released on Sweden's Drumcode label. The EP features three tracks - the title tune, 'Resume', and 'Metus', and it's currently available exclusively on Beatport: http://www.beatport.com/#release/vespula/913261

The song 'Vespula' is a massive techno stomper that also features some cool artwork that's equally trippy and creepy. I double dare you to stare into the insect creature's ginormous yellow eyes for the full eight minutes... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ Classic Remix! Starsailor!

SummersRadio™ Classic Remix! Starsailor - 'Four To The Floor' (Thin White Duke Mix)

After posting the latest remix from Jacques Lu Cont aka Stuart Price I thought I'd post one of my favourite old school remixes he's done - this one under his Thin White Duke moniker. Starsailor released 'Four To The Floor' as the third single from their second album called 'Silence Is easy' in 2004. For many years only an edited version of this remix was available physically, but this full 8:12 version is now available digitally on itunes... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! John Dahlback! Jacques Lu Cont!

SummersRadio™ New Music! John Dahlback - 'Take This Thing Back' (Jacques Lu Cont Remix)

From about 2002 to 2006 Stuart Price aka Jacques Lu Cont (best aka the Thin White Duke during that period) was one of my most favorite producers/ remixers. However in more recent years it seemed to me that he'd just run out of ideas and simply started recycling his own formula over and over. His latest remix out this week is of John Dahlback's new single 'Take This Thing Back' - the 50th release on Chris Lake's Rising Music label - and it's currently available exclusively on Beatport: http://www.beatport.com/#release/take-this-thing-back/913179

I'm happy to say that this is a surprisingly amazing remix - although it does rip off one of his own previous productions as per usual - the disco basslines of his underrated one off 2003 single as Man With Guitar in this case. However as the song progresses he wisely forgoes the mainstream dubstep and electro synths parts of the original, and instead turns the vocal hook into a Daft Punk 'the fun back in the funk' style loop and surprisingly leads the song into acid techno territory. Then just when you think you know what's going on the fire alarm goes off! :)

This is the Jacques Lu Cont remix of John Dahlback's new single 'Take This Thing Back'... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Ant Brooks!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Ant Brooks - 'Skreamer' (Original Mix)

Ant Brooks has just released his new EP called 'Skreamer' this week! The Coventry, England artist/ producer's new EP features two tracks - the title track and a song called 'Kymo'. It's released on the 1605 Music Therapy label and it's currently available exclusively on Beatport: http://www.beatport.com/#release/skreamer-ep/912839

'Skreamer' is a lively semi-disco house number that features some wickedly hypnotic keyboard bits that work their way in around the two minute mark. They sound a bit like the string sound one might hear in a slasher film - but altered - perhaps that's where the title comes from. Regardless this uplifting tune is guaranteed to liven up your weekend - this is 'Skreamer'... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Remix! Gui Boratto!

SummersRadio™ New Remix! Gui Boratto - 'This Is Not The End' (Michael Mayer Mix)

Gui Boratto has just released his new single 'This Is Not The End' this week! We first featured 'This Is Not The End' (which features the vocals of his wife Luciana Villanova) as one of the standout tracks when his album 'III' was released last September: http://summersradio.blogspot.ca/2011/09/summersradio-new-music-gui-boratto.html

The song has now been released as the third single with three brand new remixes - from Michael Mayer, Ame, and Boratto himself - and it's currently available exclusively on Beatport: http://www.beatport.com/#release/this-is-not-the-end-remixe/916606

This remix from Kompakt label boss Michael Mayer punches up the original nicely and features some fine vocal effects as well... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Metric!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Metric - 'Speed The Collapse'

Metric have just released another new song from their forthcoming album online today! Metric release their fifth studio album called 'Synthetica' on June 12th and while not an official single 'Speed The Collapse' has been released online today as a sneak preview. You can revisit the album's first official single 'Youth Without Youth' here: http://summersradio.blogspot.ca/2012/04/summersradio-new-music-metric.html

'Synthetica' is available for pre-order now on itunes - featuring five bonus track songs called 'Reflections'. It will also be available physically on cd, on numbered limited double coloured white vinyl from their official website (http://ilovemetric.com/) and there's even a super limited 'Stereobox' version (which sadly has already sold out) that features a custom made 3D viewer.

The band are currently shooting a video for 'Youth Without Youth' and they posted this great photo of singer Emily Haines from the session looking rather intense on their Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/metric) earlier today:

                      

For now the band have released another lyric video for the sneak peak of 'Speed The Collapse' - one of eleven songs on the new album - which also features a collaboration with the artist who wrote yesterday's featured song 'I'll Be Your Mirror' - the Velvet Underground's Lou Reed on a track called 'The Wanderlust'! 

This is the third track on 'Synthetica' called 'Speed The Collapse'... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music/ Cover! YACHT - 'I'll Be Your Mirror'

YACHT have released a cover of the Velvet Underground & Nico classic 'I'll Be Your Mirror'! The band just posted this 'new beat' cover on Soundcloud yesterday - but it was actually released as the b-side song on their new six track EP for their latest single (also a cover) 'Le Goudron' - which is released on DFA Records, and is available on itunes.

                      

This a respectful electronic cover featuring minimal synths and lovely harmonies that echo the beauty of Nico's original performance... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Whitey!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Whitey - 'Saturday Night Ate Our Lives'/ 'Civilizashun/ Nobody Made The Monster'/ 'See You Next Time'

London's Nathan White aka Whitey has just released his new album online called 'Lost Summer'! The album features nine tracks and he's decided to release it independently on his Bandcamp page here: http://njwhitey.bandcamp.com/album/lost-summer-new-album

                       

Whitey aptly describes the album as 'The future colliding with the past' - and it's an interesting mix of indie rock, experimental electronica, and eighties synth pop and new wave. 'Lost Summer' has a great flow and feel to it from start to finish. You can listen to the entire album from the link above but I've chosen to feature my three initial favorite tracks upon first listen.

The fourth track 'Saturday Night Ate Our Lives' seems like an obvious choice for a single. It ponders ones thoughts following perhaps not just a another wild Saturday night out - but one (or more?) that may have been rather excessive. Yeah, I know that feeling :) Meanwhile the music itself is so upbeat and cheerful (including cowbell!) that I reckon it will (ironically?) soundtrack many a Saturday evening party this summer anyway - I know it will be at Club English Bay here in Vancouver (aka my apartment)... Enjoy!



This is the opening track on 'Lost Summer' - 'Civilizashun/ Nobody Made The Monster' and I must say that it's quite the grand introduction/ creation... Enjoy!



This album closer is called 'See You Next Time', and like the rest of the album it features some great reflective lyrics. I love the line 'If we can run through the night we can follow where the lost have gone'... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ Classic Cover + Free Download! Rob Crow!

SummersRadio™ Classic Cover + Free Download! Rob Crow - '(Keep Feeling) Fascination'

It's the May (twofour) long weekend! Time for barbecues and camping - sun and fun... only Mother Nature seems to have other plans - for Vancouver at least. The skies could hardly be greyer and heavy with rain - so I've decided to post a bit of a seasonal cover of a classic uplifting tune today.

Now that barbecue season has theoretically arrived Kingsford has been advertising their slo-mo charcoal briquets again in a commercial that features a cover of The Human League's '(Keep Feeling) Fascination' by Pinback's Rob Crow. Crow strips the synth pop dance tune down and transforms it into a beautifully chilled and wonderfully produced acoustic based tune.

Strangely this fantastic cover does not seem to have been given an actual release so it's not available for sale anywhere - but you can find a free download of the tune here courtesy of the Singing Serpent blog: http://www.singingserpent.com/blog/2010/06/25/kingsford-charcoal-slo-mo/

So it may be soggy outside, but let's not let it dampen our long weekend spirits - this is Rob Crow's brilliant cover of '(Keep Feeling) Fascination'... Enjoy!

The b-side 'Anatema' is my favorite of the two - please note that this is an edit - the full song is 7:05... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Shit Robot!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Shit Robot - 'Space Race'

Dublin's Marcus Lambkin aka Shit Robot is releasing a new single on Monday! The 'Teenage Bass'/ 'Space Race' EP is released on DFA Records and will be available as a download and also on a limited 'hand finished' 12" vinyl single from DFA's webstore here: http://shop.dfarecords.com/

                      

'Teenage Bass'/ 'Space Race' is the first release in a new series of 12"'s from DFA called 'The Green Machine' although there's no further information available on exactly what that entails just yet.

This is the b-side track - a largely instrumental and aptly named synth tune. (click to listen below) Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ Rare Remix! Donna Summer!

SummersRadio™ Rare Remix! Donna Summer - 'Grand Illusion' (CD Extended Edit)

LaDonna Adrian Gaines aka Donna Summer passed away earlier today after a lengthy battle with cancer. Known as the 'Queen Of Disco' in the seventies, her influence on dance music is immeasurable - may she rest in peace.

Rather than feature one of her many hits I've chosen a rare remix (naturally) of one of my favorite Donna Summer songs - one which was never even a single. 'Grand Illusion' is a track from her 1980 album 'The Wanderer' and it was actually released as the b-side to the title track. The song was written by Summer and Giorgio Moroder and produced by Moroder and Pete Bellotte.

'Grand Illusion' is impeccably produced and it creates it own atmosphere - it's best to listen to it in the dark to feel the full effect :) This 'CD Extended Edit' takes the original song from just under four minutes of hypnotic mysteriousness - to over nine minutes of bliss... Enjoy!

France's Olivier Giacomotto has teamed up with Spainish duo Amo + Navas aka David Amo and Julio Navas for a new EP called 'Together'! The EP features two tracks - the original mixes of 'Get Together' and 'Dance All Night' - and is released on the Definitive Recordings label. It's currently available exclusively on Beaport: http://www.beatport.com/#release/together-ep/910074

It's the b-side 'Dance All Night' that is most to my liking here with it's fine bassline kicking in at the one minute mark - cowbell follows. Soon the chilled robots being to speak, and at 3:20 in the penguins start taking flight... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Soulsavers Featuring Dave Gahan!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Soulsavers Featuring Dave Gahan - 'Longest Day' (plus full album stream)

British duo Soulsavers are releasing their new album featuring the vocals of Depeche Mode's Dave Gahan next week! 'The Light The Dead See' is the band's fourth album and is released on May 21st on the V2 Records label. The album has twelve tracks and features the lyrics and vocals of Gahan throughout - on all but two short instrumental tracks.

This is the first official single from the album called 'Longest Day' - sounding a bit like some of Depeche Mode's more gospel tinged moments... Enjoy!



As of today you can stream the entire album either from Soulsavers official website here: http://www.thesoulsavers.com/ or on Soundcloud courtesy of Cooperative Music here: http://soundcloud.com/cooperativemusic/sets/soulsavers-the-light-the/s-OG6OR (or on the player below)

My first impression is that this album has a lot of depth - it's definitely worth checking out - early favorites are the second track 'In The Morning', 'Bitterman' (track 9), 'Take' (track 11) and the album closer 'Tonight'.

SummersRadio™ New Video! Trailer Trash Tracys!

SummersRadio™ New Video! Trailer Trash Tracys - 'Los Angered'/ 'I Love How You Love Me In The Flesh'

London's Trailer Trash Tracys have just released a new video online for their latest single 'Los Angered'! 'Los Angered' is from their debut album called 'Ester' which was released in January on the Double Six Records label, and it's available as a download as well as on cd and vinyl.

The band aptly describes their influences on Facebook
http://www.facebook.com/trailertrashtracys?ref=ts as melodic reverberation. Singer Susanne Aztoria provides dreamy vocals reminiscent of Debbie Harry over drifting guitar effects. This is their new video for 'Los Angered' which also features lots of brightly coloured goo... Enjoy!



Bonus Track! Trailer Trash Tracys debut album 'Ester' has also been released with a limited edition bonus disc called the 'Satar Rah EP' which features five new and previously unreleased tracks. It's currently available exclusively from Rough Trade Shops here: http://www.roughtrade.com/site/shop_detail.lasso?search_type=sku&sku=345097#

One of these bonus tracks is a magical medley of two classic songs - a cover of Blondie's 'In The Flesh' that also incorporates a portion of the Paris Sisters 'I Love How You Love Me' - which was produced by Phil Spector and later covered by Beth Orton. The result is an ethereal soundscape that could have easily been featured in a David Lynch film... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ Coldplay Beastie Boys Tribute + Free Download!

SummersRadio™ Coldplay Beastie Boys Tribute + Free Download! Coldplay - '(You Gotta) Fight For Your Right (To Party!)'

While countless musicians have been paying tribute to the Beastie Boys Adam Yauch this weekend, Coldplay have posted a particularly heartfelt live tribute on their website titled 'RIP MCA'. It features the band covering the Beastie Boys classic '(You Gotta) Fight For Your Right (To Party!)' which they performed at a concert at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles on Friday night, after hearing of Yauch's passing earlier in the day.

Coldplay often incorporate unique and rather unexpected covers into their live performances and this actually isn't the first time that they've covered this song, but not surprisingly there's a beautiful sadness inherit in this particular stripped down performance with Chris Martin adding the line 'We're sending all our love to the Beastie Boys' at the end.

SummersRadio™ Rare Remixes! Beastie Boys!

SummersRadio™ Rare Remixes! Beastie Boys - 'No Sleep Till Brooklyn' (LFOMG Remix Featuring Bass Nation & Jason Dennis)/ Franz Ferdinand vs The Beastie Boys - 'Triple Take'

Many music fans have been saddened by the passing of Adam Yauch aka MCA of the Beastie Boys earlier today - myself included. I've been a long time Beasties fan - especially for how they pioneered mixing hip hop with punk and rock. I have a copy of their 1983 single 'Cooky Puss' on cd single and the original 12" pressing of their 1985 single 'She's On It'!  I was also lucky enough to meet them back in the 90's, so today I shall feature two rather rare remixes as a small tribute.

'No Sleep Till Brooklyn' was the sixth (!) single released from the Beastie Boys massive debut album 'Licensed To Ill'. The song was produced by Rick Rubin and features guitar riffs courtesy of Slayer's Kerry King. This remix is by Los Angeles producer Johnathan Rivers aka LFOMG - short for 'low frequency oscillator' plus 'oh my goodness' apparently.

Don't be fooled by the dubious name - or the fact that it says dubstep in the title below - this remix released online last November rocks! One of the things I like about it is how he (along with Bass Nation & Jason Dennis) takes the song further into punk and metal territory - the next level kicks in around 1:40... Enjoy!



The 'Franzie Boys' EP was a collection of mashups between Franz Ferdinand and Beastie Boys tracks made by a producer named McSleazy. The four track 12" single was 'unofficially released' on the Half Inch Recordings label in 2004. This is the first track on the EP called 'Triple Take' - a fusion of Franz Ferdinand's 'Take Me Out' and the Beastie Boys 'Triple Trouble' from their 2004 album 'To The 5 Boroughs'... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Secluded!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Secluded - 'Hidden' (Original Mix)/ 'Provoke' (Original Mix)

Hans Bouffmyhre had just released his second single under his new alias Secluded! Glasgow's Bouffmyhre released his debut as Secluded called the 'Dimension' EP on limited 12" vinyl and as a download on London's new EarToGround label. His new 'Hidden' EP is out this week on his own Sleaze Records label and it's currently available as a download on Beatport: http://www.beatport.com/#release/hidden-ep/899574 and it's also available on 12" as well from Juno: http://www.juno.co.uk/products/hidden-ep/451793-01/?scref=sc

                     

The 'Hidden' EP contains four tracks - the originals plus one remix of the title track and a song called 'Provoke'. There are fine remixes provided by Mike Dehnert and Shifted - but I'm partial to the originals in both cases here. Please note that these are label previews - both songs are actually 6:36 - so you get an extra two and a half minutes of awesomeness per tune.

As Secluded Bouffmyhre aims 'to explore a new techno vibe, inspired by sounds from Berlin & Detroit' and I must say that this combination is definitely to my liking! This is the 'Original Mix' of 'Hidden'... Enjoy!



This is the equally amazing 'Provoke'... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Remix! Paperclip People!

SummersRadio™ New Remix! Paperclip People - 'Throw' (Slam's RTM Remix)

Paperclip People (aka techno legend Carl Craig) have just released a new remix of their club classic 'Throw'! 'Throw' was first released in 1994 in the U.K. on the Open label - with the original version of the song clocking in at over 14 minutes long! You may also know LCD Soundsystem's cover version of it - which was released as a 12" single in 2010 - and included as a bonus track on their 'This Is Happening' album on itunes.

A new remix by Glasgow duo Slam has just been released this week on Craig's own Planet E Communications label, and it's currently available exclusively on Beatport: http://www.beatport.com/#release/throw-slams-rtm-remix/901392

Slam are respectful of the original but punch it up just enough - it's starts out quite similar but you'll feel it kick in deeper around 1:05 in. This is the new 'Slam's RTM Remix' of 'Throw'... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music + Free Downloads! Ewok Fur!

SummersRadio™ New Music + Free Downloads! Ewok Fur - 'Cloud Colored Sunshades'/ 'Woah, Golden Moon'/ 'Moving To Antarctica Sounds Quite Ok'/ 'Yellowdrone'

Germany's Ewok Fur have released a new EP online called 'Television Summer'! It's the brilliantly named band's second EP and the follow up to their self-titled (or is it title-less?) six track debut 'EP' which was released in November. 'Television Summer' features four tracks and is available as a download both for free or by donation from their Bandcamp page here: http://ewokfur.bandcamp.com/album/television-summer

                      

It's not often that an artist will tag their music as both 'shoegaze' and 'tropical' but this rather experimental EP contains many layers of sounds. Wall of sound is an apt description for music similar to this - but this is something more - a swirlwind of sound perhaps. I really like all four songs here but especially the opener 'Cloud Colored Sunshades' and then the second track 'Woah, Golden Moon' is even more magical and mind altering (you can use the arrows to move from track to track)... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Feature! Listen To All Of April's Posts In One Continous Playlist On YouTube! No Foolin'!

SummersRadio™ New Feature! You can now listen to all of April's posts in one continuous playlist on SummersRadio™'s YouTube channel!

SummersRadio™ created a YouTube channel on May 1st, 2010 - and now that it's been two full years I've decided that it's high time that I put it to use! So as of today at the end of each month I will create a playlist on YouTube for each song that was posted during the previous month - a monthly SummersRadio™ YouTubemix™!

You can now listen to all of April's posts as a continuous playlist - over 3 and 1/2 hours of music - just by clicking play once! And as time permits I will also be backtracking so that previous months will also be available as a continuous set for your listening pleasure.

So if you're entertaining - or just lounging around - and you want to hear quality music non-stop, be one of the very first humans to subscribe to SummersRadio™'s new (well - two years old - but now improved!) YouTube channel
here: http://www.youtube.com/user/SummersRadio/videos 

It will be just like listening to the radio - only commercial free - and with really good music! :)

There may be the odd tune that won't make it onto the playlists for technical reasons - if it's exclusive to Vimeo - or only available on Soundcloud or Bandcamp - but the majority will. For April there was only one song that I was unable to include. So be one of the first to subscribe to our new YouTube channel - check out our April 2012 SummersRadio™ YouTubemix™ here... Enjoy!
