OMD - Dresden (Bounce Darkside Remix)


Since launching Bounce at the start of 2012, we've been involved in a whole range of great projects. From radio and TV, through to events and live music. Creativity in audio is what Bounce is all about.

So I'm pleased to share with you our latest project which comes under the 'music production' banner!

Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark are one the UK's pioneers of electronic music. From their first hit 'Messages' in 1980, and throughout the last 3 decades, they've been writing and producing brilliantly catchy and clever electronic pop.

Their latest album 'English Electric' is their 12th studio album and was released last month.

Taken from the album, the single 'Dresden' has the hallmark OMD sound, and getting the opportunity to remix it for the Dresden EP was great.

The 'Bounce Darkside Remix' provides a moodier take on the song, and hopefully something fans of OMD will like, particularly if they're in a more melancholy place!

You can download the full EP with other mixes from John Foxx, Mike Jolly and Zebra and Snake. Get it from iTunes here.

In the meantime, here's a clip of the Bounce Darkside Remix for you. Enjoy!



And if you fancy checking out the album on Spotify...

Android Car Radio

I love gadgets. Especially ones connected with radio.

So when the Programme Director of client station Kronehit, based in Vienna, told me he had a new car radio, I was keen to check it out.

And when he told me it was the latest Android 'in car' radio he'd imported from China, I thought ... this, I gotta see.
