All this month, we're celebrating summer music at The Takeaway. Each week, a different musician is sharing his or her favorite songs of summer. Today's guest is Casey Spooner, of the Fischerspooner, a New York-based electronic duo. Spooner's solo album, "Adult Contemporary," is currently available. He's been working with a new group called Husk. You can download their first single, "Werque it Wow" for free here. Spooner has also been co-producing the "Ladies and Gentlemen" video blog series for Imagine Fashion. His summer mixtape includes the new single "PSY-CHIC" by SSION, who Casey Spooner says is his "favorite band in the world right now." Below is a video of SSION performing "PSY-CHIC" live in June. Spooner is featured in the song "BLONDE WITH U" from SSION's new album "BENT."
