SummersRadio™ New Music! Paul Ritch!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Paul Ritch - 'Common Sense' (Original Mix) Paul Ritch is a dj/ producer from Paris and he's just released his new EP called 'Circus' this week! The EP is released on the SCI + TEC Digital Audio label which is based in Washington D.C. It has five tracks - the original mix of 'Shake It', along with a remix from Daniel Stefanik - as well as 'Common Sense' - and two dj tool tracks. I prefer 'Common Sense' out of the two main tracks - and I was just thinking the other day how common sense doesn't really seem to be that common at all! I really like the artwork on this one too... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! MixHell!

SummersRadio™ New Music! MixHell - 'Antigalactic' (Remixes) MixHell are a duo from Brazil - featuring Iggor Cavalera - best known as the drummer for Brazil's Sepultura - and his wife Laima Leyton! MixHell 'aims to fuse together the best and most uplifting elements of the rock and electronica scenes to create a „Rock-tronica“ effect.' Nice - I've been describing my dj sets as 'rocktronica' for years!

MixHell have just released their new 4 track EP on Boysnoize Records called 'Antigalactic' today! It contains the original version, followed by a 'Mumbai Science Remix', the 'In Flagranti Special Forces Mix', and 'Gui Boratto's Out Of Bounds Mix'. This clip gives you between two and three minutes of each version - in the order posted.

The original mix is a nice bouncy electronic number and Mumbai Science add some nice trippy keyboard bits and a more techno feel (you can tell when the mix changes as they say 'exclusive` before each one), In Flagranti slow it down and make is spacier - and Gui Boratto goes for a more minimal effect. I like them all but I'm leaning towards the 'Mumbai Science Remix' as being my favorite so far... what do you think? Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Death Cab For Cutie!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Death Cab For Cutie - 'You Are A Tourist' Bellingham Washington's Death Cab For Cutie have released their new single online today! It's called 'You Are A Tourist' and it's the first single from their forthcoming new studio album (their seventh) called 'Codes And Keys', which is released on May 31st! It's available now on itunes - and they're also planning to record a video for the song on April 5th - in just one take! Tune into http://youareatourist.com/ next Tuesday at 4pm (Pacific time) to watch. It's scripted, so it could be flawless - but it's live and they're only doing one take, so who knows - but it's an interesting idea. Of course at his point we don't know if it's a straight ahead performance piece or something elaborate with special effects galore - either way they still have a week to practice though. This is 'You Are A Tourist'... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Danger Mouse & Jack White!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Danger Mouse & Daniele Luppi featuring Jack White - 'Two Against One' Since 2005 producer extraordinaire Brian Joseph Burton aka Danger Mouse and Daniele Luppi have been composing a spaghetti western album! Jack White and Norah Jones are the main vocalists on the album that also features musicians who played on the original Ennio Morricone scores from the 60's. If you didn't know, a spaghetti western is a sub-genre of western films that were dubbed as such because the films were largely produced and directed by Italians - and originally filmed and released with Italian dialogue.

The album is called 'Rome' and is released on May 16th. The first single 'Two Against One' will be a limited (1,000 copies) 7" release in the U.K. to coincide with Record Store Day - which is April 16th! Despite being a spaghetti western composition, Jack White's vocals makes 'Two Against One' sound very much like it could be from a White Stripes album - but then they always had a western look and feel to a lot of their music, so it's a great fit... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Justice!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Justice - 'Civilization' So we finally get a proper full version of Justice's new single - not a snippet, not a live version, and not a cut from the Adidias commerical with sound effects all through it - this is 'Civilization' - the full version in high quality HD sound! The new single will be released exclusively through itunes on April 4th (5th in North America) and then available through other outlets on the 11th. *update* It's available on itunes today (29th) - a week early! There's no word yet on a physical release for the single, or an official release date for the French duo's new album, but here's the new single... Enjoy!

Saturday 26 March 2011

SummersRadio™ New Music! Olivier Giacomotto & Damon Jee!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Olivier Giacomotto & Damon Jee - 'Spaghetti' Olivier Giacomotto is dj/ producer from Bordeaux France - as is Damon Jee - and they've just released a brand new EP called 'Cheerleaders'! It's out on the Definitive Recordings label - which was started by Canadians John Acquaviva and Richie Hawtin in 1992 - and is based in London Ontario. It has four tracks - the original versions of the title track and another called 'Spaghetti', as well as a remix of each song. This is the original mix of 'Spaghetti'... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Remix! Ellen Allien!

SummersRadio™ New Remix! Ellen Allien - 'My Tree' (Ripperton's Backlash Remix) Berlin's Ellen Allien has just released a new EP and remix album!

The 'Dust Remixes' album features 12 remixes and the EP features 3 of those. This is the first track on both the album and the EP - 'My Tree' - 'Ripperton's Backlash Remix'... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Friendly Fires!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Friendly Fires - 'Live Those Days Tonight' It's been a long two and a half years since England's Friendly Fires released their self titled debut album - but their record label XL Recordings just posted their new song online today! It's the first new single from their forthcoming album called 'Pala' - released on May 16th in Europe and the 24th in North America. This is 'Live Those Days Tonight' - looking forward to some remixes on this one... Enjoy!

Tuesday 22 March 2011

SummersRadio™ New Music + Free Download! WhoMadeWho!

SummersRadio™ New Music + Free Download! WhoMadeWho - 'Every Minute Alone' (Tale Of Us Remix) WhoMadeWho are a three piece band from Copenhagen that have just released their new single today! It's called 'Every Minute Alone' and it's available as a two track 12", and as a three song download on Italy's Life And Death label - hence the EP is actually called the 'Dead Remixes'. It features remixes of 'Every Minute Alone' by Tale Of Us and Michael Mayer (vinyl and download) and a third one from both Tale Of Us and Seth Troxler (download only - available exlusively on Beatport).

The single 'Every Minute Alone' is from WhoMadeWho's forthcoming mini album called 'Knee Deep'- which is released on the Kompakt label on April 25th. Kompakt has also made another exclusive version called 'The Circle Remix' available as a free download on Soundcloud which you can get here: http://soundcloud.com/kompakt/whomadewho-every-minute-alone-the-circle 


This is the 'Tale Of Us Remix'... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Remix! Daft Punk/ Crystal Method!

SummersRadio™ New Remix! Daft Punk - 'The Grid' (Crystal Method Remix) Another new remix from the forthcoming soundtrack remix album 'Tron Legacy R3CONF1GUR3D' released on April 5th! (see the Sander Kleinenberg post below for the full tracklisting) WOW!  Do The Crystal Method ever do a number on this one - I love this remix - Enjoy!!

SummersRadio™ New Remix! Daft Punk/ Sander Kleinenberg!

SummersRadio™ New Remix! Daft Punk - 'Tron Legacy (End Titles)' (Sander Kleinenberg Remix) Well here's something that you don't hear of everyday - a soundtrack remix album! Walt Disney Records have announced that they're releasing a collection of remixes of selected tracks from 'Tron Legacy' called 'Tron Legacy R3CONF1GUR3D'! It will contain 15 tracks and it's released on April 5th.

This makes perfect sense because I'm sure that more than one or two Daft Punk fans were a bit disappointed that the original soundtrack didn't have much in the way of clubby tunes - and those that were close were too short - but then as we all know it was written to fit the film. So considering Daft Punk's huge fanbase - which I suspect has widened even further with this soundtrack - I wouldn't be surprised to see this remix album become a top 10 hit as well. First here's a full tracklist for 'Tron Legacy R3CONF1GUR3D' - complete with details of who's done each remix:

Tracklist

01. Derezzed (The Glitch Mob Remix)
02. Fall (M83 VS Big Black Delta Remix)
03. The Grid (The Crystal Method Remix)
04. Adagio for TRON (Teddybears Remix)
05. The Son of Flynn (Ki:Theory Remix)
06. C.L.U. (Paul Oakenfold Remix)
07. The Son of Flynn (Moby Remix)
08. End of Line (Boys Noize Remix)
09. Rinzler (Kaskade Remix)
10. Encom Part 2 (Com Truise Remix)
11. End of Line (Photek Remix)
12. Arena (The Japanese Popstars Remix)
13. Derezzed (Avicii Remix)
14. Solar Sailer (Pretty Lights Remix)
15. TRON Legacy (End Titles) (Sander Kleinenberg Remix)

I'm already more excited about this than I was for the original soundtrack - so, let's hear a few shall we? Let's start at the end - because I like to do things differently here at SummersRadio™. This is 'Tron Legacy (End Titles)' remixed by Dutch dj/ producer Sander Kleinenberg... Enjoy!



SummersRadio™ First Day Of Spring! Saint Etienne!

SummersRadio™ First Day Of Spring! Saint Etienne - 'Spring' (Foxbase Beta Mix) 'Spring' first appeared on Saint Etienne's debut album 'Foxbase Alpha' in 1991. This version is from the limited 2009 release 'Foxbase Beta' reproduced and remixed by Richard X. I've always liked when a singer with a beautiful voice has spoken parts in a song - and few voices are as heavenly sounding as when Sarah Cracknell says 'with the love I've got you'll forget about her...' Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ First Day Of Spring!

SummersRadio™ First Day Of Spring! Artist/ Track: Unknown (if you know for sure please tell me!) I was just enjoying the sun on this first day of spring - and coincidentally the first flower on my balcony bloomed this morning! I wanted to share this video - it's interesting in that it shows a split second after each bunch of flowers peaks - reminding us of the cycle of life... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Stefano Noferini!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Stefano Noferini - 'Words' Italy's Stefano Noferini has released another new single - hot on the heels of last month's excellent 'Bibong' EP on the revamped Azuli label! 'Words' is released on the 1605 Music Therapy label - and it's a bouncy hypnotic tune - almost like a disco/ ska/ house hybrid... Enjoy!

Friday 18 March 2011

SummersRadio™ New Music! Lutzenkirchen!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Lutzenkirchen - 'Dread Phase' (Original Mix) Munich's Tobias David Lutzenkirchen better known as simply Lutzenkirchen, has just released his latest single called 'Dread Phase'! It's out on the Respekt Recordings label and has two tracks including a remix from Hertz - this is the original. Great production on this one - and I like the spiders/ artwork... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ Classic Remix! Moloko!

SummersRadio™ Classic Remix! Moloko - 'Sing It Back' (Mousse T's Feel Love Remix) Yesterday's Mason/ Roisin Murphy track reminded me of this classic remix of Moloko's biggest hit. 'Sing It Back' first appeared on Moloko's second album called 'I Am Not A Doctor' released in 1998. Then in 1999 it was remixed by Boris Dlugosch and became a massive hit reaching the top 10 in the U.K. and hitting  number one on the U.S. dance charts - this version was then included on their third album 'Things To Make And Do'. This remix by German dj Mousse T is a bit rarer - and was released in 2000 as the b-side to their single 'Indgo'... Enjoy!


SummersRadio™ New Music! Mason featuring Roisin Murphy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Mason featuring Roisin Murphy - 'Boadicea' (Mason's Battle Scarred Mix) So I wanted one of today's posts to be from someone Irish - and also be something that was new - and of course quality - and I found exactly what I was looking for! While Mason are a Dutch duo this track features the vocals of Roisin Murphy - the Irish singer who was formerly one half of Moloko - who has also released two solo albums and collaborated with a number of other artists including Crookers, David Byrne & Fatboy Slim, Boris Dlugosh and Tony Christie. 

'Boadicea' has just been released on Mason's own Animal Language label - which they started in 2008 - with a whopping 9 remixes! I like this one by Mason themselves - it starts off innocently enough - and before you know it, it transforms into a chunky Giorgio Moroder style disco number... Enjoy!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

SummersRadio™ New Music! MSTRKRFT!

SummersRadio™ New Music! MSTRKRFT - 'Beards Again' The Toronto duo of Jesse Keeler and Al-P - better known as MSTRKRFT - have just released their new single from their forthcoming (as yet untitled) third album! It's called 'Beards Again' and it sounds like a cross between MSTRKRFT and Keeler's previous band Death From Above 1979 - who announced just last month that they had reformed - so electronic beats with heavy(ish) guitar riffs then... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Burial, Four Tet & Thom Yorke!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Burial, Four Tet & Thom Yorke - 'Ego' London's William Bevan - better known as Burial, and Kieran Hebden - better known as Four Tet - have just released a new 12" - in a magical indie/ electronic collaborative threeway with Radiohead's Thom Yorke! It's a two track single (both songs feature Yorke's vocals) released on Four Tet's label Text Records - that includes 'Mirror' and this song called 'Ego'... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Alex Kenji!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Alex Kenji - 'My Oscar' Alessandro Bacci aka Alex Kenji is a dj/ producer from Pisa Italy. He co-owns the labels Hotfinger and 303Lovers with Manuel De La Mare and Luigi Rocca (Marshall) - and he's also coming to Vancouver on June 11th to Ginger 62!

His latest track 'My Oscar' is included on the 'Toolroom Knights' compilation mixed by Umek - that also features the two ace tracks that I posted yesterday. This song builds nicely until about the 2 minute mark when these spacey keyboard bits take it to the next level - for some reason when I listen to this I picture a video with hundreds of cats dancing (upright of course) at an awesome rave... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Hertz!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Hertz - 'Red Ryder' (Original Club Mix) Hertz are Pierre Jerksten and Petter Borgesson - a duo from Sweden. 'Red Ryder' is another exclusive new track on the new compilation called 'Toolroom Knights' - mixed by 1065 Music Therapy label boss Umek! Don't mind the brief Toolroom Records voiceovers - there are just two and then one at the end. And as always if you like the music please support the artist and buy the track! ('Toolroom Knights' is available on both itunes and Beatport) Although marketed here (on this Toolroom clip which loops to hypnotize you almost as much as the music!) as a house compilation, the 38 song set includes a wide range of sounds. 'Red Ryder' is equal parts techno and 80's style electro/disco... Enjoy!

Tuesday 15 March 2011

SummersRadio™ New Music! Umek vs Phntm!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Umek vs Phntm - 'Dead Space' Uros Umek aka “Fotr” – 'the Father of Slovenian techno and electronic culture' - has just released a new compilation on the U.K. label Toolroom Records today! It's called 'Toolroom Knights' - has 38 tracks - and is mixed by Umek. It contains plenty of new and exclusive tracks including this collaboration between Umek & French dj/ producer Phntm called 'Dead Space'. I like the use of the classic 70's disco horns on this one... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ Music News + Classic Mashup! Justice!

SummersRadio™ Music News + Classic Mashup! DJ Schmolli - 'Justice For Billie Jean' Today's big music news comes from Parisian duo Justice's Facebook page! They announced today that they're releasing their new single on April 4th! The song is called 'Civilization' from their as yet untitled forthcoming second album. Any audio posts of the song to Youtube and Soundcloud today have been quickly deleted on behalf of their label Because Music/ Ed Banger Records. Naturally I will post the song when it's possible to do so - but in the meantime here's a classic mashup by Austrian DJ Schmolli - of Michael Jackson's 'Bille Jean' and Justice's 'D.A.N.C.E' - with a dash of C&C Music Factory. This is 'Justice For Billie Jean'... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ Rarity! Underworld - 'Second Hand'

SummersRadio™ Rarity! Underworld - 'Second Hand' Underworld's 'Second Hand' first appeared as a b-side in 1994 - released only in Germany and Denmark! It was originally titled 'Thing In A Book' - clocking in at 20:14! It was the second song on the 6 track Danish cd for 'Dark & Long' and it was also released on the two part German 12" for 'Dark & Long' - listed as 'Dark & Long' (Thing In A Book Mix). It was then re-edited and shortened down to 9 minutes long - and retitled 'Second Hand' when it was released on the very first Cafe Del Mar compilation, which also came out in 1994. If you're able to hunt it down, I highly recommend the Danish 'Dark & Long' cd on April Records - at over 72 minutes long it's almost like a full length remix cd! This is one of Underworld's lesser known but finest songs... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Remix! + Free Download! Underworld!

SummersRadio™ New Remix! + Free Download! Underworld - 'Cowgirl' (Great Scott's Melty Face Remix) Scott Novich aka Great Scott is an artist/ producer from Houston Texas - and he's also the founder and station manager of Glitch.FM! http://glitch.fm/

SummersRadio™ New Music! Greg Kutnar! There's A Riot Goin' On!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Greg Kutnar - 'Criminamorphe' from 'The Riot` compilation on the Slovenian record label 1605 Music Therapy... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Farrel 8! The Riot Continues!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Farrel 8 - 'Discotech' So I've listened to all 40 tracks on the fantastic new compilation from the 1605 Music Therapy label called 'The Riot!' - some many times - and picked some more standouts to post! While largely a techno compilation 'The Riot!' embraces a wide range of quality sounds - I'd consider this song to be a bit of a disco-tech-house stomper - guaranteed to get people movin'... Enjoy!

Saturday 12 March 2011

SummersRadio™ New Music! Juan DDD & Johan Dresser!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Juan DDD & Johan Dresser - 'Pokus Lokus' Another fine track from the ace new 1605 Music Therapy compilation called 'The Riot!' (also see post below).  As described on their website: 'We didn't think that you had enough time to breathe since our last V/A compilation, so this time we bring you "The Riot!" so you can get the Techno monkey on your back again.' Techno monkey? I want a techno monkey! Anyone know where I can get one?

Juan Deigo Mendoza is a dj/ producer from Colombia - as is Johan Dresser - and this collaboration is called 'Pokus Lokus' - I like the trippy keyboard bits that first appear about 2 minutes in - then how it slows down about 3 minutes in - and then when the keyboard sounds come back moreso at about 3:30... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Sam Paganini!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Sam Paganini - 'Pleasure' (Original Mix) Sam Paganini is an artist/ dj/ producer from Italy. His new song 'Pleasure' appears on the latest compilation from the 1605 Music Therapy label called 'The Riot!'. 1605 Music Therapy was founded in 2008 by Uros Umek - better known as DJ Umek or Umek - an artist/ dj/ producer from Slovenia. 'The Riot!' compilation contains a whopping 40 new tracks - and is available at a discounted price for the full album from Beatport (for $21.99 - as opposed to $2.49 per track) here:
https://www.beatport.com/enUS/html/content/home/detail/1/beatport#app=5f2&a486-index=9
This is 'Pleasure'... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Chemical Brothers!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Chemical Brothers - 'The Devil Is In The Beats' This is the fourth track on the 20 song score to the 'Hanna' soundtrack which is released exclusively on itunes this coming Tuesday. The film (which opens on April 8th) was shot in Bavaria, Morocco, Berlin, and Finland. Director Joe Wright cites David Lynch as a major influence and he says that 'it's not a typical action movie' rather more of a 'fairytale action movie drama'. 'It's quite a dark film in a couple of ways' he adds. This song sounds like it might be featured in one of the more upbeat surreal portions of the film - but with a title like 'The Devil Is In The Beats' - I can only speculate... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Chemical Brothers!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Chemical Brothers - 'Container Park' The Chemical Brothers have written the entire score to the new adventure thriller 'Hanna'! The soundtrack contains 20 tracks and is released exclusively through itunes on March 15 (Tuesday).

SummersRadio™ New Music! Fever Ray!

She released her solo self titled debut album as Fever Ray in 2009. 'The Wolf' is an exclusive new song from the soundtrack to the new dark fantasy film 'Red Riding Hood'.

SummersRadio™ New Remix Compilation! Ladytron!

SummersRadio™ New Remix Compilation! Ladytron - 'Seventeen' (Soulwax Mix) I first mentioned Ladytron's upcoming best of compilation called 'Best Of 00-10' back in October when I posted their new single 'Ace Of Hz'. The Best Of compilation comes out on March 28th - but the band has also decided to release a 'Best Of Remixes' compilation - which is out tomorrow! 

The 'Best Of Remixes' will be available only digitally and will contain 17 tracks. All of them have been previously released - so if you're a big time Ladytron fan like myself you may already have a lot of them, but if not this is an excellent collection of remixes. This is the Soulwax Mix of 'Seventeen' which was first released on the cd single in 2002 - where Ladytron rock out with full on guitars... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Arctic Monkeys!

SummersRadio™ New Music! Arctic Monkeys - 'Brick By Brick' Sheffield's Arctic Monkeys have just released a brand new song online this weekend called 'Brick By Brick'! Although it's not going to be the first single, it's the first new song to surface from their forthcoming as yet untitled new studio album (their fourth) due out this summer. 

Singer Alex Turner sounds a bit like Iggy Pop on this one - which is funny because Iggy Pop released an album in 1990 called 'Brick By Brick' which turned out to be his first recording to ever go gold. This isn't a cover song though - but you can check out Iggy in a rare reflective mood on his own lyrically superior 'Brick By Brick' song here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l0vHpOUOtyw 

Arctic Monkey's 'Brick By Brick' is very 60's sounding - particularly the chorus - which is also quite similar to Kasabian's 2009 hit 'Fire' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=agVpq_XXRmU 

So perhaps not entirely original then, but this is the Arctic Monkeys new song... Enjoy!

http://highhighsmusic.bandcamp.com/

'Horses' has been released just in time to stir up further interest in their SXSW performances on the 18th & 19th. High Highs have a nice summery breezy sound to their music - they make it easy to pretend it's sunny when it's not... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ Classic! Garbage!

SummersRadio™ Classic! Garbage - 'Queer' (Rabbit In The Moon "Disco 2000 Mix") 'Queer' was Garbage's second single (after 'Vow') from their self titled debut album (released in 1995) and their first single to reach the top 20 in the U.K. 

Rabbit In The Moon are a duo (formerly a trio) from Florida who actually remixed several of Garbage's early singles, as well songs from other artists such as Depeche Mode, Goldie, Orbital and Vancouver's Sarah McLachlan. 

This remix of 'Queer' was featured on the bonus disc of their 2007 best of compilation called 'Absolute Garbage'. The band began work on their latest studio album (their 5th) last year and have confirmed that they will support the release with a tour later this year... Enjoy!
