SummersRadio™ New Music! Mihai Popoviciu - 'Transitions' (Bootleg Mix)
It's our 1,111th post! Romania's Mihai Popoviciu has released a new song called 'Transitions'! 'Transitions' is one of thirteen new tracks on the 'Bla Bla Summer Sampler 3 Part 1'.
This is the third annual summer sampler for the Bla Bla label but the first time that it's in two parts - with part one focusing on techno releases while part two (with fifteen tracks) focuses on house and deep house. The compilation is currently available exclusively on Beatport: http://www.beatport.com/release/summer-sampler-volume-3-pt-1/1106771
'Transitions' (Bootleg Mix) is one of the compilation's standout tracks - featuring a positive message reminding us to focus on our goals - even when dancing... Enjoy!
SummersRadio™ New Music! Franz Ferdinand - 'Love Illumination'/ 'Right Action'
Franz Ferdinand have just released two new songs online! Both 'Love Illumination' and 'Right Action' are from the band's upcoming new studio album (their fourth) called 'Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action' which is released on August 26th (U.K.)/ 27th (North America) on Domino Records.
'Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action' will be available as a single cd or single LP - and as a hand numbered double cd or double vinyl package that features a thirteen track live album called 'Right Notes, Right Words, Wrong Order'.
'Right Words' (the single) is available for download now on iTunes - and 'Love Illumination' is released on Tuesday (July 1st - Canada). First up is 'Love Illumination' - I like the old school keyboard/ organ in this one... Enjoy!
'Right Words' is the first track on the ten song release - and as an introduction to the album it suggests that they're staying true to their catchy well produced guitar sound... Enjoy!
Now that 'More Light' is actually released it's clear that this is one of the finest albums (their tenth) of their lengthy career. It should be easy to choose a third single but I suggest the dreamy 'River Of Pain'. This doesn't appear to be an official video so a fan must have put this together yet the visuals suit the song perfectly... Enjoy!
SummersRadio™ New Music! Hiver - 'Teasel' (Tobias. Remix)
Hiver are a duo from Milan, Italy consisting of Giuseppe and Sergio - who've just released a new EP called 'Blue Aconite'!

The EP is released on Belgium's Curle Recordings label and it's currently available exclusively on Beatport: http://www.beatport.com/release/blue-aconite-ep/1105746
I was particularly drawn to the spacey 'Teasel' - and this remix by Tobias. is even more atmospheric... Enjoy!
SummersRadio™ New Music + Free Download! AM & Shawn Lee - 'Steppin' Out'

'Steppin' Out' was originally released by Joe Jackson in 1982 as a single from his album 'Night And Day'. AM & Shawn Lee's cover is quite faithful to the charming original but with more contemporary keyboard sounds and a slightly more laid back feel - and if it's to your liking you can download a copy for free by clicking on the arrow below...

Olga Bell's vocals remind me of Shirley Manson and Garbage's brilliant debut album - before all their songs started sounding rather sludgy. 'Know Yourself' also features some wicked cowbell action... Enjoy!

It's released on Sian's own Octopus Black label and it's currently available exclusively on Beatport: http://www.beatport.com/release/shame-cube/1108639
Both versions of 'Shame Cube' are outstanding, so I couldn't choose just one to feature. Let's begin with the 'Original Mix' which builds and throbs around some uniquely comical vocal samples... Enjoy!
Brooklyn's Victor Calderone adds a number of spacier elements to the mix... Enjoy!

'Higher' features a short vocal sample 'Get higher baby' from the song 'White Lines' by Grandmaster Melle Mel - which was released in 1983 on Sugar Hill Records. While the 'Original Mix' of 'Higher' is a fusion of house and dubstep elements, this remix from France's Brodinski is more of a techno/ dubstep hybrid... Enjoy!

'
Bonus Track! 'Silent To The Dark' was the band's debut single released in 2001 and included on their 2002 debut album 'Holes In The Wall'. An edited version called 'Silent To The Dark II' was re-released later that year. This is the original album version in all it's nine minutes of glory!
I love how the song unravels around 3:21 in and takes you somewhere else entirely before reeling you back in near the end - it's nothing short of an epic masterpiece... Enjoy!
The trumpet in yesterday's Moonrags post reminded me the horns in one of my all time favorite songs - the 12" Version of The Boo Radleys song 'Lazarus'! 'Lazarus' was first released as a single in 1992 - an edited version was included on their 1993 album 'Giant Steps' - and then it was re-released with remixes in 1994.
This original '12" Version' extends the reggae influenced tripped out intro for a couple minutes until around 2:54 where the full wall of sound guitars kick in... Enjoy!
