![Gorillaz - Doncamatic + Crystalised (The xx Live Cover) [Video]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/2992092_lg.jpg)
Some new updates in the immense world of Brit-pop/general all-things-music genius, Damon Albarn , this one concerning the Gorillaz . Collaborating with vocalist Daley on their latest single, "Doncamatic," the animated/stylized collective have released an accompanying music video for the relaxed track that is to be included on a release that was created entirely on an iPad. In addition, the band stopped by BBC for an in-studio session of which included a great cover of The xx's hit "Crystalised." Check out the respective videos below. Gorillaz - "Doncamatic" (Feat Daley): [...]
October 25th brings the release of a new DJ Kicks album, this time sculpted by German techno / ambient beats legend, Apparat. I have for you today - “Sayulita” his exclusive contribution to the mix, described perfectly by the guys at Dj-Kicks as: "A 130bpm track that he admits contains the elements he was embracing at the time. Harnessing the shaky, organic percussion, big hoover like bass sounds and the erratic guitar chops that cut through the rising pads it blends somewhat brilliantly with Joy Orbison’s “The Shrew Would Have Cushioned The Blow” on the mix [...]
Ερμής είναι, όπου θέλει πάει. Και σαν υδράργυρος γλιστράει, δηλητηριώδης και απρόβλεπτος. Πολύ θα θέλανε στο Mercury Price να έχουν όλα αυτά τα χαρακτηριστικά, γι αυτό προφανώς, ψηφίζουν πάντα ότι δεν περίμενες ποτέ να ψηφίσουν. Άκου τώρα, να έχουν υποψήφιους τους Foals και τους Wild Beasts και να ψηφίσουν τους xx για καλύτερο, αριστερό και πρωτότυπο (χαχα ράκα!) γκρουπ της χρονιάς. Τέλος πάντων. Τουλάχιστον οι φετινοί νικητές είναι στη μακρά λίστα αγορών μου. Ενώ για την Speech Debelle πέρσι ούτε που το σκέφτηκα!
Not sure how I feel about this one... The XX - Shelter (Tiga Remix) ( Drop IO ) ( Alt Link YSI ) Maybe a grower?....I can't quite make up my mind. x
Mash-Ups, Covers, and Remixes often seem to rub people the wrong way. I like to think of them more as interpretations. Just take them for what they are. No one is going to make a Bob Marley song as well as Bob, but you can interpret it in a new way. So here are some covers and mash-ups that I have been into semi-lately. DOWNLOAD all the songs HERE 1. Andrew Bird – Imitosis (Four Tet Remix) [...]
[ via ] Highlight from UK trio’s 2009 debut and potential mercury winner. Choreography takes on new subtleties. The xx play this year’s Bestival in the Isle Of Wight come September. MFM can announce that we’ll be covering this festival with extensive day-by-day coverage.

I thought thought to myself, I already have this so I don’t need this but then I saw a song on the 3rd disc that I didn’t recognize, the song [...]
There's nothing like South By Southwest. Music bleeding from every wall, forming the ultimate live mixed tape of every musical style that will try, and probably fail, to live up to any sort of commercial expectation. Food- BBQ ribs, pork, brisket, sausage- forming the ultimate gastro mixed tape of authentic American tastes that will try, and probably fail, to keep you out of a shoddy port-o-poddy out back at Stubb's. Booze- Shiner, Lone Star, Dixie, and whatever other alcoholic combo floats your proverbial boat that will form the ultimate fuel to take in said music and BBQ [...]
Click image to download full album Song: Download audio file (01-Intro.mp3) What Others Say: You just picked up the XX album (illegally most likely), and you are ready to find out if the hype is for real, or if its just more disposable blog-fuckery. You hit the kush, lean back, and press play. The intro kicks in: there are no discernible vocals and no hooks. Its just one big build. And it just keeps building. By the time [...]
We've missed out on a bit over the last few days because, as some of you may have realised, our site was plagued by a big fat "Account Suspended" message the last few days. Don't go stressing out though, we're not in any trouble as such - just went over our server limit due to a huge spike in visitors, so can't really complain about that. Hopefully February will be a better month for us here! Anyway, A-Trak has collab'd with fellow Canadian Drake on a remix of Drakes 'Money To Blow', appropriately naming it 'Loonies To [...]
David Guetta is as busy as ever - he's just about to release his latest single featuring Kid CuDi "Memories" taken from the album One Love for which we can expect the video any day now! He's also just dropped an unreleased track featuring Novel, who also appears in the track "Missing You". Guetta continues his RnB influence in the new track "Hero", combining soulful vocals over an upbeat dance track. David Guetta - Hero (Featuring Novel) David Guetta - Memories (Featuring Kid CuDi) (David Guetta's Fuck Me I'm [...]
Beautiful new video from The XX to accompany my favourite song on the album, latest single, 'VCR'. Watch it and fall in love, as if you haven't already... x
Move over Tori Amos, Kate Bush and Bjork. You have to check out Florence + The Machine . A band that just debut in 2009 and is hitting it big time. It is fronted by singer Florence Welsh. This album has been out since July 6, 2009 and just hit it big all over the UK and Europe. Still the album has not made it to #1 in the UK (thanks to the death of Michael Jackson) but maybe in 2010 it will finally make it due to the mass promotion it has surrounded [...]
2009 is over already? It doesn't seem like long ago that I was writing my best of 2008 list and here I am again, doing the same for the final year of the noughties. Like I said last year, I find these lists a real conversation starter, or argument starter considering none of us ever agree. But I'm going to stress that this is my personal top ten and I must admit, it was a tough choice...but here goes. 10. LILY ALLEN - IT'S NOT ME, IT'S YOU [...]
photo: Watchcaddy Just a quick one today, and what better way to start then with The XX. Having already made a name for themselves in '09 with easily one of the best albums of the year, the band from London are now showing us some more of their skills. Only this time it's with their remix of Florence + The Machine's - You've Got The Love . The best way to sum up the end product would simply be - Incredible. The band lay their own chilled out [...]
words: Jamie Milton originally scribed for gigwise.com When The xx first emerged, a lot of the press began to fall head over heels in love with the vocals above the beats, the minimalism, the vital components of what makes the self-titled debut so irresistibly dense and inventive. Oliver Sim and Romy Madley-Croft were the voices in question - Sim's husky, soulful voice harmonising with Madley-Croft's simple, retrospective tones. You wouldn't have been a fool in thinking that this was just a two-piece who relied on tape players [...]
when the XX are involved, less is certainly more. MP3: Florence & The Machine - You Got The Love (XX Remix) end of the night come down
Having trouble figuring out exactly where the hell you want to be this week for CMJ? Do you get inundated with text-based invites and need something visual to crunch on? Well then today is a good day for you for...
Now this is not what I was expecting...Wow. When I came across a track titled 'Florence + the Machine - You've got the love (The xx remix)' I expected a straight remix. I expected a fantastic remix of course, because you should not expect anything less than amazing when it comes to The xx, but I did not expect this absolute perfection. Samples of FATM's already great cover, mixed up with the charming and beautiful vocals provided by Romy and Oliver of The xx, all layered over the top of some amazing chest thumping beats. [...]
