"This has been our first week of shows for two years", says Oliver Sim as he glances over coyly at the packed Grand Hall of Battersea Arts Centre, "so you might have to bear with us." Since 2010, The xx have cemented themselves in the public consciousness as a force to be reckoned with. To say they've exploded would be an understatement, as performances at Coachella and Bonnaroo and a Mercury Prize win have demonstrated. But that was two years ago and since then, the musical landscape has shifted quite seismically. The group's distinctive brand of dreamy R&B [...]
Back in 2010, I was in Munich, Germany visiting a friend. Fantastic Mr. Fox the movie happened to be playing in theaters so on a dull night, we went. After the movie, having woke up from her mid movie slumber, my German friend dryly noted, "German's don't like those kind of movies" while she disapprovingly shook her head. Now, I don't know what she meant by that. I'm sure some German's like stop-motion and witty humor, but that's not the point. The point is, there exists another Fantastic Mr. Fox (a.k.a. Stephen Gomberg) that I'm sure the Germans WILL like. [...]

As you may know, The xx have been working on a new album for a few months now. Back in December the trio sent out this lovely demo called "Open Eyes" , and just a few days ago they announced some European tour dates . Last night, in one of those show in London, the band played a new song. At first it sounds like one of the xx's more sparse tracks (something along the lines of a Romy Madley Croft-fronted "Fantasy" ), but then out of nowhere come [...]

Considering all the drama that's been surrounding her, Azealia Banks has made it quite clear that she has an attitude and a personality, but when it comes to music, Banks has everything down pat. Her latest track is "Jumanji", a song that will appear on her next mixtape. Over some steel drum production that seems to draw influence from Jamie xx , Azealia proves yet again that she has the talent to back up her attitude. I mean, it's kind of hard to hate when she's killing everything she [...]
Four Tet 's brand new smasher. "Jupiters", takes a second for all the enjoyment to come. I was kinda not feeling the drowning synths, but when the ridiculous bass drops, along with this sort of bubbling back and forth sound, everything is right in the universe. Again, I'll remind you, at over 5 minutes have patience with this one! Track will be out later in 2012 on his label, Text .

Back in 2009, The xx wowed everyone in ear shot with their somber and sexy debut album xx. Since then, the group's beatmaker, Jamie Smith (otherwise known as Jamie xx) has been making an arguably bigger name for himself, dropping the stellar "Far Nearer" 7", along with a top shelf selection of remixes and a [...]
After taking all of 2011 off, Mercury Prize winning trio the xx are making their big return to the stage in less than a fortnight. The band––which has been working on a follow-up to 20092s XX for a while now––has announced several European shows (mostly festivals). Is it safe to assume a brand new xx album is coming this summer? Maybe! Check out the dates below: Continue reading: The xx Announce First Shows of 2012 Read more articles like " The xx [...]
The Future Garage (FG) movement has been picking up massive momentum over the last 2 years, so I figured it was about time that we created an article which highlights the cream of the crop for all the Vacayers out there. UK radio station boss, label owner, producer, DJ, and inventor of the term 'Future Garage', Whistla, is definitely the man to ask about FG. He says "FG is just a starting point not the end destination. It's a collection of DJs and producers who wouldn't fit comfortably in the [UK Garage] oeuvre or the dubstep one. They are somewhere [...]

A few days ago, Drake told NME, "For me, the David Guetta stuff just doesn't work. I don't really wanna go there." We were glad to hear it. Even more exciting, though, are his nods to the undercurrent of more interesting electronic music. He's worked with Jamie xx and SBTRKT, and after explaining why Guetta isn't his first pick, he said the he'd rather work with exciting producers to "turn the club upside down." While he's name dropped a few of the biggest talents in the loosely defined scene, there's a whole host of other artists and sounds out [...]
