Robert PM presents a remix of Glassio‘s ‘Summertime (Kept the Blues Away)‘ for toucan sounds this December.
Originally appearing on the 2020 album ‘For The Very Last Time’, Irish-Iranian musician Glassio’s ‘Summertime (Kept the Blues Away)’, a sun-soaked slice of indie pop, receives the remix treatment on toucan sounds. Glassio revisits his track with a remix from label boss Robert PM, and the release arrives just in time for their New Year’s Eve party at Mercury Lounge in New York City, which will feature Glassio and French Horn Rebellion.

Robert PM transforms ‘Summertime (Kept the Blues Away)‘ into a deep and driving track by adding a 4/4 pattern, fluttering arps, and resonant low-end to the mix, creating a dynamic and engaging listen from beginning to end. Glassio’s own ‘Italo Mix’ follows, with lively claps, heavy-hitting disco toms, and a chugging bassline setting the stage for classic Italo-disco tropes. Both the instrumental mix of Robert PM’s remix and the emotive original track appears on the EP’s final track, which is only available digitally.
When I first heard the original version of this song, it reminded me of one of my favorite things to explore deep in my memories, which is summertime growing up in Wisconsin. I think back to those summers and how it seems anything was possible to happen. We can keep the blues away, we can go dancing, we can fall in love. – Robert PM
