The Tell No Lies and Romantic Traffic singles turn 30 this year. After the huge success of Nova Heart and the Arias and Symphonies album in 1982, the band would next team up with super producer Nile Rodgers (Chic, David Bowie, Madonna, Daft Punk) to record some of their most popular songs ever.

Included on this 30th Anniversary EP are the previously unreleased Candy Apple and several songs from the Listen To The City movie by Ron Mann. As an added bonus, this collection also includes a brand new retake on Romantic Traffic sung by Sandy Horne.

Vancouver artist/producer Chin Injeti just received two 2015 nominations for albums he was involved with. First nod goes to Eminen’s Marshall Mathers—up for Rap Album of the Year on which Chin was a writer and co-producer of the hit single “Survival”. Second nod goes to and Aloe Blacc‘s Lift Your Spirit in the R&B Album category. Chin wrote and co-produced Blacc’s single “Can You Do This” and produced the vocal arrangement on the hit single “The Man,” which was utilized in the Beats Music Super Bowl commercial campaign.

Vancouver/Edmonton duo Yes Nice have just launched a remixed version of their video “White Washed Walls”. It was directed by Jonathan Balazs who took advantage of having to stripe in the new audio by adding some new effects to the video. The song was remixed by Scott McKellar from the band. The song is the debut single from their “Warm Gun” album which will be released in the spring of 2015 via Sparks/Universal Music Canada. CBC Radio3 has already supported the track as it hovered in their Top Ten for 8 weeks peaking at # 5. Commercial radio stations across the country have started to spin the song as well. The new Indie 88 in Toronto played it several times in their ” Your First Listen” feature. Alan Cross also picked the song in his Top 11 Countdown and SiriusXM have supported it on both of their channels, The Verge and Iceberg.

The remixes were also released on iTunes and Bandcamp this week. Listen to the remixes below.
