SummersRadio™ New Music! Macromism!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Macromism - 'District Zero' (Original Mix)

Macromism are a duo from Padova, Italy consisting of Mattia Saviolo and Eugenio Zampieri who've just released a new EP called 'District Zero'! The EP features four tracks - the original mixes of the title track and a song called 'News From Barcelona' - and a dj tool track for each song. It's released on the SCI+TEC Digital Audio label and it's currently available exclusively on Beatport: http://www.beatport.com/#release/district-zero/965275

The title track is an epic journey clocking in at just over eleven minutes that features an almost scary poltergeist style voice (of a lurker perhaps, or maybe just an dj with a deep voice?) that wants to see you dance! Why just watch though - a song this alluring is bound to make you move... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Gary Beck!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Gary Beck - 'Skiver'/ 'Unaware'

Gary Beck has just released his new full length album called 'Bring A Friend'! 'Bring A Friend' features ten tracks including the first single 'Before The Crash' which we featured last month: http://summersradio.blogspot.ca/2012/08/summersradio-new-music-bonus-track-gary_22.html The album is released on Glasgow's Soma Records label - in fact it's their 100th album release - and it's available now on itunes.

I'm going to feature not one but two more tracks from it - because it's that good. First up is 'Skiver' - the sixth track on the album - which I declare to be an instant Stoner House™ classic! 'Skiver' has an ominous feel to it with it's pulsating bass, wavering keyboards and hypnotic vocals - and the production is nothing short of astounding... Enjoy!



'Unaware' is the fifth track on 'Bring A Friend' and it's one of a couple songs on the album infused with some acid techno goodness ('D51' is also awesome) and like every track on the album it's sonic perfection... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Remix! Late Nite Tuff Guy!

SummersRadio™ New Remix! Late Nite Tuff Guy - 'I Can Feel It' (LNTG Rework)

Cam Bianchetti aka Late Nite Tuff Guy is a dj/ producer (formerly known as HMC) from Australia who's just released a new rework of Phil Collins' 'In The Air Tonight' retitled 'I Can Feel It'! Wait a second... Phil Collins? Yes. I had a discussion with a friend today when I was pondering this post - the first question was 'Is Phil Collins cool'? We wholeheartedly agreed that he is not. Was he ever cool and/ or did he write some great songs? Perhaps and absolutely, respectively.

                    

If I was to pinpoint where the shift took place I'd say it was in the mid-eighties - after the massive success of his third solo album 'No Jacket Required' and the Genesis album 'Invisible Touch' he aged quickly, and his music became watered down and bland ever so rapidly. But I for one cannot deny the unique atmosphere encapsulated in his debut solo single 'In The Air Tonight' - and the drum sound - amazing! It's a good song to space out to :)

So while I may cringe when I think of what Phil represents now, a good song is a good song, and a good remix is a good remix - and today's song is both! LNTG's rework extends the original - adds a bit more ambiance, some vocal effects, a kick drum - and he thankfully keeps the massive drum burst towards the end intact... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Lola Dutronic!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Lola Dutronic Featuring Stephanie B - 'Everybody Loves You When You're Dead'

Toronto duo Lola Dutronic have released a new video for their latest single 'Everybody Loves You When You're Dead'! 'Everybody Loves You When You're Dead' is from their new album (their fourth full length) called 'Everyone's A Star' which is released on the Red Star Digital Music label. The thirteen track album is available on itunes now and it will also see a physical release on cd on October 11th.

                          

'Everybody Loves You When You're Dead' is a clever tune about rock and pop stars who die young - and how quickly their shortcomings are forgotten when they pass on. The lyrics - like all good comedy - are amusing because they're true. They make some great points - how most people didn't fawn over Nick Drake until years after he was gone, how Sid Vicious never managed to become a good bass player - and how a premature or unexpected death equals some of the artist's best chart placings of their careers.

What makes this song so instantly likeable - aside from the brutal honesty - is the sweetness of the vocals and the catchy chorus. Rarely does a song about death sound so uplifting! And the irony isn't lost on the band - as they even ponder the possibility that their own greatest fame may also be posthumous. The song features over a dozen guest backing vocalists including members of the Tom Tom Club and Gang Of Four.

The video features a montage of music stars who've left us - it's fun to see how many you can name - and I like the cheeky intro graphics... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Stand Up Against Heart Crime!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Stand Up Against Heart Crime - 'I Need No Sun'/ 'Birth' (Live At Razzmatazz Club)

I reckon I've found the perfect song to post for the first day of fall in Vancouver... Stand Up Against Heart Crime have just released a new EP for their latest single 'I Need No Sun'!  The brilliantly named Stand Up Against Heart Crime are an indie dream pop/ electronic band from Barcelona, Spain. They've released one single called 'Lost In Time And Space' and a self titled EP last year - both are available on Bandcamp here: http://standupagainstheartcrime.bandcamp.com/

                     

'I Need No Sun' is the first single from their forthcoming debut full length album (date tba). The new 'I Need No Sun' EP features four tracks - the original plus three remixes - and it's available now on itunes. The remixes aren't available to share just yet (although I do recommend the 'Rho Remix') so we'll feature the original today. The song has a nice laid back Tangerine Dream vibe to it musically and I like the minimal lyrics - particularly the line 'I need no sun, I have my own'.

Their sound seems to have matured/ evolved rapidly. The production on this new song seems light years ahead of last year's releases - which were well produced - but I'd call this one expertly produced! I look forward to hearing their debut album - you can keep up with band on Facebook m'here: http://www.facebook.com/standupagainstheartcrime?ref=ts

Enjoy...!



This appears to be a new instrumental song called 'Birth' - recorded live this spring - which might provide us with some more insight into what their debut album will sound like. This song spikes my anticipation level - dare I say - sky high AND I also hope that they come to Vancouver someday soon as I'd love to see them live as well!  'Birth' is a perfect example of indie rock and electronic music (and I do love both) melding together flawlessly... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ Classic Remix! Ian McCulloch!

SummersRadio™ Classic Remix! Ian McCulloch - 'Lover, Lover, Lover' (Indian Dawn Remix)

Yesterday's fine rework of Leonard Cohen's 'By The Rivers Dark' reminded me of another excellent Leonard Cohen remix (this one a cover) from the vaults! In 1992 Echo & The Bunnymen's lead singer Ian McCulloch released his second solo album called 'Mysterio', that included a cover of 'Lover, Lover, Lover' from Cohen's fourth album - 1974's 'New Skin For The Old Ceremony'.

McCulloch's cover of 'Lover, Lover, Lover' was released as the second single from 'Mysterio' and the 12" and cd single featured two remixes by Mark 'Spike' Stent. The 'Indian Dawn Remix' is now available on the 'Candleland & 'Mysterio (Extended Editions)' on itunes. This remix transforms the song into a world music influenced dance track that still maintains the integrity of the original... Enjoy!

'Dark Doo Wop' is one of four tracks on MS MR's debut EP called 'Candy Bar Creep Show' which is available now from their official website here: http://www.msmrsounds.com/ and it's officially released on itunes tomorrow.

                   

MS MR describe their sound on Facebook as 'Glitch Pop, Soul Fuzz, Electroshock' and as the song title suggests 'Dark Doo Wop' explores the darker side of pop. This video directed by David Dean Burkhart fits the song's lyrics perfectly - as it mixes images of romantic innocence with visions of world destruction... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Remix! Oxia Featuring Miss Kittin!

SummersRadio™ New Remix! Oxia Featuring Miss Kittin - 'Housewife' (Miss Kittin's Wipeout Mix)

France's Olivier Raymond aka Oxia has just released a new remix EP for his single with Miss Kittin called 'Housewife'! 'Housewife' first appeared as a track from Oxia's second solo album called 'Tides Of Mind' which was released in May on the InFine label.

The new remix EP out this week includes six remixes and it's currently available exlcusively on Beatport: http://www.beatport.com/#release/housewife-feat-miss-kittin-remixes-ep/965587

                     

I love Miss Kittin's vocals - she can make the most ordinary words sound interesting, seductive and fun! It's her own remix of the song in this package that's most to my liking here. She transforms the bass heavy housey original into a full on space disco adventure - this is 'Miss Kittin's Wipeout Mix' of 'Housewife'... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Pet Shop Boys!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Pet Shop Boys - 'Memory Of The Future'

Pet Shop Boys have released their eleventh studio album called 'Elysium' this week! That's the good news. The bad news is that they've lost their irony! I couldn't stand the album's first single 'Winner' and I deemed it unpostworthy. I reckon that I'm not the only fan who felt that way as it debuted at #86 on the U.K. Singles Top 100 - and then vanished the very next week - far and away their worst chart placing for a lead single off of a proper album ever.

I'm waiting to hear the remixes of the next scheduled single 'Leaving' (released October 15th) before deciding on that one. How can the Ironic Duo write a song called 'Winner' without any irony in it anyway? Blasphemous!

As a lifelong fan I still love them overall, but they've lost their way here - for the first time they sound old. 'Elysium' is their first album recorded in America - and I beg them never to do so again. It was produced by Andrew Dawson in Los Angeles who's worked with Kanye West, Jay Z, Snoop Dogg (although you'd never guess from the lack of beats here) and 30 Seconds To Mars (!) to name a few - so he's to blame.

Some people are comparing the album to the brilliance of 'Behaviour' - perhaps simply because it's laid back - but on that album they sang about NOT being boring. 'Elysium' is no paradise (as the title suggests) it's just too lifeless - far too adult contemporary. It would be a good album to put on if you want to take a nap. I feel guilty saying that but it's a case of cruel to be kind. As a former music journalist surely Neil Tennant would want me to be honest here - not every artist's new album is their best ever - even though they're always promoted that way.

However I admit that I still need to give the album more time to grow on me, but I can't ever imagine listening to the album's eighth track 'Hold On' without cringing. There is one song that was to my liking immediately though - 'Memory Of The Future' - the tenth track on the album (perhaps because it's one of the few with a pulse). It's classic Pet Shop Boys - with it's gurgling synths, beautiful strings, disco hi-hats, and romantic but not sappy lyrics - I reckon it sounds like it could be track seven on 'Introspective'... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Remix! The Scumfrog featuring Sting - 'If I Ever Lose My Faith' (Carl Cox Remix)

Jesse Houk aka The Scumfrog has just released a new remake/ remix EP of Sting's 'If I Ever Lose My Faith'! The EP is billed as 'Scumfrog featuring Sting' as it samples the original vocals from Sting's 1993 hit of the same name from his 'Ten Summoner's Tales' album. The EP features five new remixes of the song and it's released on the Armada Music label.

This hypnotic remix from techno legend Carl Cox resembles the vibe of New Order's classic 'Blue Monday'... Enjoy!

It's currently available exclusively on Beatport: http://www.beatport.com/#release/flap/957597

So far one of the b-side tracks 'Dot' is most to my liking so I'll begin with it - a spacey techno/ disco hybrid that flies through a few asteroid fields... Enjoy!



The title track 'Flap' is also solid... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Silent Servant - 'Invocation Of Lust'

Juan Mendez aka Silent Servant has just released his debut full length album called 'Negative Fascination'! 'Negative Fascination' features seven tracks and it's released on the Hospital Productions label. It's available as a download as well as on limited edition vinyl here: http://boomkat.com/vinyl/568939-silent-servant-negative-fascination-album

Silent Servant was one of the founding producers of the Sandwell District label which began in 2005. His overall sound is perhaps best described as industrial techno although 'Invocation Of Lust' evokes some of Tangerine Dream's hypnotic nature - only darker with a hint of acid techno... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Matador!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Matador - 'ENTER Svinx' (Original Mix)

Matador and Hobo have just released a new EP called 'ENTER.GROOVES'! Gavin Lynch aka Matador is a dj/ producer from Dublin and Hobo is a Canadian dj/ producer from Sarnia, Ontario who's now based in Berlin. The camera seems to like these two :)

                    
                                                         Matador

                                
                                                          Hobo

Their new EP features six tracks - two of Matador's and four of Hobo's. It's released on the Minus label and it's currently available exclusively on Beatport: http://www.beatport.com/#release/enter-grooves/964420

'ENTER Svinx' (each song title is preceded by 'ENTER...' which appears to be a brand of sorts) is the third track on the EP and is a playful hypnotic tune featuring piano scales climbing over a chugging bassline with cowbell sprinkles and bonus spacey siren sounds! If this song was ice cream it would be a full on sundae... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Atoms For Peace!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Atoms For Peace - 'Default'/ 'Other Side' (Stuck Together Remix)

Atoms For Peace is a five man experimental/ electronic 'supergroup' that includes Radiohead's Thom Yorke, their longtime producer Nigel Godrich, Flea from Red Hot Chili Peppers - as well as their current live percussionist Mauro Refosco and drummer Joey Waronker. They've just released their first proper single online called 'Default' - following their split single debut with Other Lives called 'Other Side' last month.

'Default' is available as a one track single on itunes now in many parts of the world with a Canadian release scheduled for Tuesday the 10th. The band's debut album doesn't have a firm release date set yet but it's not expected until 2013. Although written with different personnel the song is not unlike some of Yorke's 2006 debut solo album 'The Eraser' or Radiohead's more recent forays into electronic music... Enjoy!



Bonus Track! As mentioned 'Other Side' was released last month as a two track split single with the band Other Lives on the 50 Weapons label. It's available on itunes and it features an 'Atoms For Peace Remix' of the Other Lives song 'Tamer Animals' as the a-side if you will, and this largely instrumental 'Stuck Together Remix' of their own song 'Other Side' as the flip... Enjoy!

It starts out sweet and mellow but around 2:30 in it transforms into a full on techno monster - and then it morphs some more... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Jason Lytle!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Jason Lytle - 'Your Final Setting Sun'

Jason Lytle has just released a new song (and premiered the video) called 'Your Final Setting Sun' online today! 'Your Final Setting Sun' is from the Grandaddy frontman's second solo album called 'Dept. Of Disappearance' which is released October 16th on the ANTI- label. We previously featured the title track last month which you can revisit here: http://summersradio.blogspot.ca/2012/08/summersradio-new-music-jason-lytle.html

The final date of Grandaddy's European tour was just last night in London and lucky for us he's wasted no time in focusing back on his solo work. No word yet if this is an official single or not, but skateboarder/ artist/ filmmaker Mike Aho has made an official video for it. Lytle describes the song to Rolling Stone as "a kind of fast-paced Western synth rock song."

'Your Final Setting Sun' is certainly worthy of being a single - I dig the synths - and it's almost rowdy compared to some of the rockier songs from his debut solo album 'Yours Truly, The Commuter' (which I loved - so this one could be even better!). This fun video features a brainwashing cult and one young man who escapes... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! The Hacker!

SummersRadio™ New Music! The Hacker - 'White Funk' (Offset Remix)

France's Michel Amato aka The Hacker has just released a new EP called 'Satori'! The EP features four tracks - the original mix of the title track, and three versions of 'White Funk'. It's released on the Correspondant label (which is distributed by Kompakt) and it's available on both Beatport and Juno.

                   

The 'Offset Remix' is a nice spacey techno outing that expands into acid techno territory a couple minutes in... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Video! Spitzer!

SummersRadio™ New Video! Spitzer - 'Sergen'

Spitzer release their debut album called 'The Call' today! We previously featured the extended version of 'Sergen' a couple months ago which you can revisit here: http://summersradio.blogspot.ca/2012/07/summersradio-new-music-spitzer.html

The duo from Lyon, France have just released a video for 'Sergen' and it's quite unique. It features a herd of sheep on a journey across the countryside and it fits the song surprisingly well.

It's directed by Louise Hemon and I particularly like it around 2:50 in where a number of animals - starting with the dog - seem to pose for the camera like they're a cast member on the opening credits of Saturday Night Live or some sitcom... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Kollektiv Turmstrasse!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Kollektiv Turmstrasse - 'Ordinary' (Lake People's Circle Motive Remix)/ 'Lapacha' (Alex Q's Wir Geben Nicht Auf Mix)

Hamburg duo Kollektiv Turmstrasse have just released a new remix EP called 'Ordinary'! The EP is over 76 minutes in length and features a whopping ten remixes - four of a song called 'Lapacha' - and six of the title track. It's released on the Musik Gewinnt Freunde label and it's available on both itunes and Beatport (cheaper on itunes).

                   

What's particularly impressive about this EP is that the remixes are all such unique journeys that you'd never know that it was only two different tracks - as it flows like a great melodic ambient techno album should. I've chosen two standouts from it - first up is impeccably produced 'Lake People's Circle Motive Remix' of 'Ordinary' - the fifth track on the EP... Enjoy!



'Alex Q's Wir Geben Nicht Auf Mix' of 'Lapacha' is the opening track on the 'Ordinary' EP. It's accompanied here by a video simply featuring a couple of families having a day out at the beach, but it's shot so beautifully that it's actually quite surreal and it fits the song nicely... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Roisin Murphy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Roisin Murphy - 'Simulation' (Original Mix)

Roisin Murphy has released a new EP called 'Simulation'! Murphy has released five albums as one half of the duo Moloko, and two solo albums so far - 2005's 'Ruby Blue' and 2007's 'Overpowered'.

The 'Simulation' EP features three tracks - the original mix, as well as remixes by Mano Le Tough and Eric Kupper - and is her first new single in two years. She also provided vocals on Mason's track from last spring called 'Boadicia' which you can revisit here: http://summersradio.blogspot.ca/2011/03/summersradio-new-music-mason-featuring.html

The EP is released on the Permanent Vacation label and it's available now on both itunes and Beatport (half the price on itunes).

'Simulation' is a sleek disco/ house hybrid featuring Roisin's uniquely sultry vocals. The irresistible tune clocks in at over eleven bliss filled minutes and has the potential to become a true club classic... Enjoy!
