A painter paints pictures on canvas. But musicians paint their pictures on silence. ~ Leopold Stokowski No other quote sums up The XX's critically-acclaimed (and deservedly so) debut album. If you don't have, get it right now . Sometimes, the notes you don't play are just as important and XX is a great reminder of that. Here's an equally great subtle remix from Them Jeans and a genetically modified ambient version of 'Basic Space' by Mount [...]
OK, our real No1 is the OUR PRESENTS album , but we are not charting it why? cos it is above every limit, it's the ultimate love overdose from us to you THANK YOU again for our first two years!! talking about charting some of you asked, how the APC TOP 10 works so here is the formula we post the APC TOP 10 at the last Sunday of each month the main chart is based on the following things: - our love and taste - [...]
Hot as fire. Sweet like candy. Mellow like the calm sea but yet wild as an untamed beast. The xx gives you one of the best albums this year has to witness. It's their debut, but what a debut! The hype on the blogs in the world is not undeserved. Also keep in mind that the album not is released in the US yet... The xx consists of four youngsters from London that are still teenagers. It makes their debut even more impressive. Because the sound is mature, steady and very very musical. Fantastic melodies and [...]
The xx have just release their debut album XX , a chill, melancholy feel, reflective of a rainy day, type album. Throughout XX the band switches between male and female vocals, but "Shelter" focuses on singer-guitarists Romy Madley Coft's slow voice and simple, yet beautiful guitar. The cosmic original already gets remix treatment from Them Jeans. Keeping Coft's pop-like voice obviously present, Them Jeans adds to the modern feel of the track by giving the track a dancey, upbeat feel. If the original is too "down in the dumps" check out the remix, it keeps [...]
The Xx has been making some major news with their new music. I just found that they will be playing with Friendly Fires at The Henry Fonda "The Music Box" in Los Angeles/Hollywood! Sounds like a HUGE show to me! I'm definitely there, and I know our friends and TILT fam will be there too! I've recently found this killer edit of The Xx song "Shelter" by THEM JEANS ! As a L.A. resident Them Jeans has really made his mark on the scene here. I've seen him live and heard a few other of his [...]
A friend has been bugging me about The xx . I got home late tonight and put them on. Good timing. They're music is made for the last-scotch-of-the-night, winding down, droopy eyelids hour. It is touches of electro, a dash of soul-bossanova, a little r&b and well-placed guitars all tied together by the guazey boy-girl vocals of Oliver Sim and Romy Croft. The London 4-piece plays a kind of downer-pop that may go down as my favorite release of the year. Thx QC. [...]
We posted the Them Jeans rework of 'Shelter' by The xx the other day and RCRD.LBL have posted up an original from the Los Angeles producer which is a nice dancehall influenced house cut that borrows the bass line from a Weezer song apparently. mp3: them jeans - only in jeans.
via Oliver Hibert Sorry for the hiatus- I made the unfortunate mistake of placing an 'empty' beer can on my windowsill and a strong gust of wind blew through and knocked the can right onto my laptop keyboard. Sucks. The Apple Store 'genius' guy told me the logic board was damaged, so I didn't touch it until I received another macbook . Got it for a good deal, too. So for almost two weeks of being down, now we're up & running once again! I have been aware that Danny Masterson, also [...]
The xx – Shelter ( Them Jeans drum edit) [ mp3 ] the debut album of The xx is out now and they asked Them Jeans to remix their current single, Shelter what a wise choice, cos this way they have a reserved spot in the APC TOP 10
The XX is an indie band from London. They make beautifully chilled out songs with alternating girl and boy vocals. The end product being the equivalent to a wool blanket and glass of hot chocolate on a cold Winter day. Their newest record XX has just been released on world famous label, Rough Trade . It's definitely going to be the soundtrack for many of an art school freshman this upcoming semester. Aside from a stellar original, Dim Mak DJ Them Jeans has already given one track the remix treatment. Making "Shelter" a tad [...]

Jason Stewart aka DJ THEM JEANS has been stepping up his remix game for the past year and with every new remix we see a different side of his musical palette. To say Them Jeans has a unique style is an understatement, he's done almost everything from the Yeah Yeah Yeah's, to Weezer, to Snoop Dogg, to bridging the gap between DubStep and Dirty South and he's done it all REALLY well! His latest remix is a Drums edit from the up and [...]

pic: 8mts Now that I'm back in the sweat furnace of Miami, I have more than enough time to get back to posting ear monsters for all you awesome readers of this here blahg. Whilst out in LA, I enjoyed quite a few drinks at quite a few clurbs, and was most impressed by two doods of unequal height and unprecedented radness (read: Them Jeans x Dan Oh ) Both are standup guys and were kind enough to hook GDD up at all the events they were playing at. Not only do they [...]
I was forwarded an email from DJ Them Jeans last night about a band that he thought we might want to feature on the site. A band that combines an amazing vibe with disco beats and a super fox singer a band by the name of POLLYN. Pollyn is Genevieve Artadi, Anthony Cava, and Adam Jay Weissman, a music machine from Los Angeles who began collaborating in 1999. Mix the voice of Sade, the sounds and beats of Peter Bjorn and John, plus throw in some M.F. Doom in the mix and [...]
Everyday we are sent at least 3 or 4 mixtapes from DJs/ Producers from accross the world asking us to put them on the site, we actually try to listen to all of them, but sometimes they just don't make the cut. Just this week alone I have been sent around 20 mixtapes and although I have gotten through around 14 of them. I have noticed one thing, none of these mixtapes are particularly good. No offense to the people who sent them to me, but I have to be honest. When making a mixtape [...]
