Taking the lead track from [...]
Billie Ray Martin: Techno's Unsinkable Femme Fatale: mediajorge: While we're shameless...
What you have here is the voice of Miss Billie Ray Martin, here in her The Opiates guise with producer Robert Solheim, and the slick groove of Swedish Disco duo Drop Out Orchestra . If that's not enough to have you hitting the play button then there's something very wrong with you. Those wicked Disco licks and cosmic synths are the perfect backing to completely redefine Billie's vocals into a smooth, late night jam. Billie's soulful, slightly husky, delivery leans itself effortlessly to Drop Out's laid back vibe. Funking into the night! [...]
Here's the new mix by the always amazing Drop Out Orchestra. This mixtape is very special for us, since it features Drop Out Orchestra's new brilliant rework of "Super Car" by Rolla Scape (the new side-project of our favorite Greek artist K.BHTA). Enjoy the ride. Tracklist: 01. Copycat - Disco Thang 02. The Treatment - On and On (Leca Remix) 03. Satin Jackets & Rocco Raimundo - This Is The Love 04. Casual Encounters - Casual Boogie (Drop Out Orchestra Remix) [...]
Billie Ray Martin 's 'Twisted Lover' originally appeared on the 'BRM New Demo's 2003' album in it's 'Old Version' form. Now the lovely Ms. Martin has seen fit to give away this brand new version of the track. What was once a Deep-House flavoured SynthPop track has now upped the tempo and upped the analog Disco. Racing Moroder-esque arpeggios drive the track along and seem to morph Billie's vocals from the soulful lament of the original to a huge diva performance. Add to that some infectious synth melodies and you have a huge ol' track! [...]
Ah, the summer of '95! To quote Bryan Adams, those, quite possibly, were the best days of my life. (And if my friend and then-No. 1 wingman Dave is reading this, he'll no doubt agree.) I was working at People magazine, living in New York City's East Village, and spending Friday nights at Sound Factory Bar and Saturday nights at the Roxy and Sound Factory, the legendary after-hours club in Chelsea. That's where I'd dance the night (and morning) away, flirting with beautiful strangers under the strobelights to a soundtrack dominated by [...]
Here's the video for Billie Ray Martin and Robert Solheim's The Opiates project's track 'Anatomy Of A Plastic Girl'. The video, directed by Jörn Hartmann is as evocative as the track's subject matter, a dark tale of beauty gone wrong. 'Anatomy Of A Plastic Girl' is taken from The Opiates début album 'Hollywood Under The Knife' due out on Disco Activisto Records, 21st October. Buy The Opiates' music from: [...]
The Opiates is the some time collaboration between our favourite Electro Diva Billie Ray Martin and Norwegian musician Robert Solheim. The are gearing up for the release of the 'Rainy Days And reMixes' EP in September ahead of their first full length album 'Hollywood Under The Knife' later in the year. The lead track from the EP, 'Raony Days And Saturdays' is a beautiful lament over nostalgia that never existed. With hints of electronic Trip-Hop and a moody synthetic atmosphere tempered by a strain of hope in Miss Martins vocals. The EP comes chock with [...]
Billie Ray Martin's back with a new venture - The Opiates. This is a collaboration with Robert Solheim. They have a new release - Rainy Days and Remixes EP - out next month. This is a return to her former glories with Electribe 101 ( here ) and evokes memories of her classic collaboration with Spooky ( here ). More on Billie here . There's a minimix of the EP to listen. Her voice is in fine fettle. It still has that distant, creepy lovesick air. The music is described as dark electronic pop. And [...]

Tweet When I was but a wee lad, one could always find me laying on my bed with the radio blaring. In the days when top 40 radio actually played dance music, more specifically Euro-dance, it was always a treat to hear Your Loving Arms by Billie Ray Martin come on. My ears immediately perked up and off the bed I went. The destination was the mirror where I would pick up a hair brush and valiantly attempt to belt out BURNING INSIDE, YEAH. BURNING [...]
