Já que Berlim está assim um bocadinho longe de nós, hoje a melhor forma de seguir o Night + Day desta cidade é mesmo pela rádio. Tal como aconteceu em Lisboa, o festival e a rádio da Red Bull Music Academy ( RBMARADIO ) formaram uma parceria para transmitir os concertos de hoje ao vivo. Já chegamos um bocadinho tarde para o início do cartaz , mas ainda podemos acompanhar a actuação dos The xx a partir das 20h. E, entretanto, seguimos o festival pelos olhos dos curadores no instagram . [...]

I love remixes of The XX. And I love Bodhi. So imagine how excited I was when I saw this? whilst this is a fairly old song, I feel it deserves a bit more attention. Bodhi takes the track on a whole new future house spin, adding in some beautiful chord play whilst still maintaining [...]

The xx draw remixes out of beatmakers in piles. Their sparse composition allows DJs plenty of flex space to tweak and twist the fragile Brits in every direction. Unfortunately, this often results in messy splices, broken and bloody shadows of the original tracks that sound like wet trash. When it's done right, however, an xx [...]

Foi no final de 2012 que ouvimos pela primeira os London Grammar , projecto misterioso resumido na página de facebook com a breve referência: trio de Londres. "Hey Now" serviu de cartão de visita da banda que deixou a música falar por si, até ao lançamento do EP de estreia Metal & Dust, que apresentou por fim o alinhamento formado por Hannah Reid, Dot Major e Dan Rothman ao mundo em Fevereiro. Faixas como "Hey Now", "Metal & Dust" têm vindo a consolidar a banda como uma revigorante promessa a manter no radar, com a [...]

We know yr probably done with "Angels" (we thought we were too) but we can't help but fall deeply in love with KOTKEE's beautiful 3 A.M. re-imagining (and we stress re-imagining, as we've never heard the oft-covered track quite like this) of The xx hit. KOTKEE - Angels (The XX Cover) KOTKEEE ( Facebook ) Rating 8.3

London Grammar are often hailed as ‘the new xx’. I can imagine why people compare London Grammar with The xx , but there are as many differences as similarities. It’s probably the production that reminds people of The xx in a certain way; the guitar- and bass play show similarity, especially in Wasting My Young Years . One of the main differences though is the kind of classical sound London Grammar breathes. Actually,it is this classical and velvet sound that distinguish London Grammar from all the [...]

With a mammothly eclectic lineup of world class talent spread across three European tour dates, THE XX 's 'Night & Day' run of shows was always guaranteed to be a herculean and very special undertaking. The plan was simple, to run three large XX curated concerts in Lisbon, Berlin and London spanning entire days and featuring performances from the likes of JOHN TALABOT , MOUNT KIMBIE , JAMES MURPHY ( LCD SOUNDSYSTEM ), JESSIE WARE , KINDNESS , MYKKI BLANCO , POLICIA , SOLANGE and of course JAMIE XX [...]
Over the weekend The xx threw their first festival, Night + Day, in Lisbon. The first of three shows featured acts like John Talabot, James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem, and of course a performance from The xx. Held on the water near an old castle the festival was completely curated by members of The xx, from the location down to the acts. Check out this recap video and attend the next Night + Day if you happen to be in Berlin or London during May or June. The post Video: The xx - Night + Day Lisbon [...]
The xx have announced two support acts for their gig at the O2 on 26th June. Warp-signed ambient duo Mount Kimbie and Sydney haze-poppers Jagwar Ma have been enlisted to perform ahead of the Coexist trio at their first Irish arena show. Producer/percussionist Jamie xx will also be making a mad dash along the quays and across the river to make his rearranged date at the Button Factory that evening. Doors for that are at 11pm. Tickets for the xx at the O2 range from [...]
Os The xx lançaram há pouco um vídeo que reúne imagens do Night + Day , que decorreu em Lisboa no dia 5 de Maio. Com um remix de John Talabot e Pional para "Chained" como banda sonora, o vídeo mostra-nos desde os últimos preparativos até ao final de tarde, já de recinto composto, e termina com o concerto mais esperado da noite. Relembrem aqui a nossa reportagem do evento. Andreia Duarte
Last night between revision sessions I was trawling through the darkest deepest areas of soundcloud and youtube in search of something special, and I stumbled upon this. This is an absolutely stunning mashup, showcasing the beautiful vocals of Bastille with the deep and mesmerising chords from the XX's 'Angels'. Perfect for any revision playlist, enjoy [...]

With his remix of The xx's "Hot Like Fire" making ground into being an Internet smash, teen-aged producer BeazyTymes opts to follow the "If it ain't broke..." motif for his latest tune, a return to the The xx catalog that finds him taking on the band's debut album cut "Shelter" and giving it a modern-day jeep jam bump with a sprinkling of trap rattle n' snap, booming bass and some eardrum seducing R&B chords. After hearing these two recent two gems, Beazy can do us a favor and turn this XX-re-imagining thing [...]

Mother's day is the time to remind where we are coming from. Time to celebrate and honor your mother by saying "thank you, mum" and giving her a hug or at least a phone call. In most of the world's countries today is mother's day (the second Sunday of May). Besides calling your mother or The post The 10 Best Songs for Mother's Day appeared first on Nothing But Hope And Passion - NBHAP - Music Magazine & more .

A few weeks ago, BeazyTymes shared a remix of The xx's cover of Aaliyah's "Hot Like Fire," and it was obvious that the young producer was on to something. Earlier today, he uploaded yet another xx remix to his Soundcloud, this time, looking back at material from the UK band's debut album. BeazyTymes once again [...]

Frank Yang Things move quickly these days; this I know and understand, and yet it still manages to astound me sometimes. The ascent of London's Daughter , for example. It wasn't much over a year ago that the trio was still largely unknown, only getting on my radar by old-fashioned word of mouth and becoming one of my favourite discoveries of SXSW 2012 . When they came around to make their Toronto debut last October - still a ways off from releasing their debut album or making any real promotional push - they still [...]
