Self Control with Sunday Girl and Fenech-Soler

Laura Branigan covered Self Control from Raf who originally made it. Sunday Girl makes a fabulous cover of Branigan's version and Fenech-Soler makes a superb remix of Sunday Girl's version. Complicated? Not really, and to make everything clear for you, we got them all here for you.

Fenech-Soler has always been favourites of Tracasseur and with this remix they once again show their skills. Give it up for the four-piece band from the U.K and check out their album "Stop and Stare".

Sunday Girl is also from the U.K. but she's only a one-man show. Only 21 years old born as Jade Williams. The stage name Sunday Girl is from when she was young and worked in a pet store every Sunday. All customers used to call her "Sunday Girl". This Sunday Girl you should keep your eyes on seven days of the week in the future.

Raf's version got a nice rap as bonus versus the other versions about 4.45 into the track. Don't miss out on that one.

Midsummer round up

We've been away the whole weekend to celebrate Midsummer, one of Sweden's most important holidays. In Sweden we celebrate Midsummer different from most people. We're dancing around a maypole, wearing traditional folk costumes, wearing crowns of wild flowers on our head, eating pickled herring with new potatoes and of course drinking a lot of "snaps". It's the Sweden way of fun.

But now we're back and have to make to a little round up from the inbox. Today there will be no words due to the weekend's hangover, but the music is good though.

Overthrill

Overthrill is one of the producers who best keeps the legacy of the Justice-esque electro alive. The interesting thing is that someone who sounds so French actually is from Paderborn in Germany. Well, Sebastian Bentler isn't just another of those Justice clones who popped up like mushrooms around 2007, he mixes it all up with a lot of techno and funky disco. But there's still something of that intense epic feel, that I liked most about the French duo, in Overthrill's music. "The Upper Worlds" EP was released in early April on Thrillin' Records. Pick it up on Beatport!

Kids At Midnight remixed by Digitalfoxglove

Our friend Digitalfoxglove from Germany should be nervous right now. His team is up against Ghana in only one hour. The first match against Australia was a walk in the park but they lost against Serbia in the second. So now they have to win and as Digitalfoxglove said to me in the chat a while ago: "dare them Germans if they lose".

Speaking of Australia, Digitalfoxglove doesn't seem that he was nervous making the remix of Australian Kids At Midnight. Like always with Digitalfoxglove, it's great stuff. If I should give a simple explanation, he's a pro.

So with this post I want to give all my best to Germany and Australia. But I also cross my fingers for Serbia, because we got a lot of great fans there and we are going there this summer to play at the Exit Festival. Go Germany! Go Australia! Go Serbia!

Fine friends of the Brilliantine label are about to release their fourth release; Sweet Track from Somerville, Massachusetts. It's his debut single named "Two-Way Mirror" and it's a nice one. I can hear the sound of Swedish indie pop bands combined with dreamy electronica. It's very pleasant!

We got some of the tracks from Brilliantine for sharing but only in lower quality so we recommend that you head over to some of these places to buy the whole release in full quality; Beatport, 7Digital, Juno Download, Amazon, DJTunes.
