The xx are one of the more influential bands from the UK in recent times and have taken their dream/pop sound to a different level than most. It's what makes their songs perfect for remixes, and the latest of "Hot Like Fire" fits right in. BeazyTymes remixed this and the 17 year old Chicago native added the right amount of chillwave and slight trap elements. It engages your ears from the beginning and does not let up. Stream below.

If you like your music talked over and barely-listenable, then boy do we have a treat for you tonight! So far from The Great Gatsby soundtrack we've heard The xx 's "Together" and Florence + The Machine 's "Over The Love" , but tonight, tonight we bring you a doozy. It's Beyoncé and André 3000 's cover of [...]
![[new]: The xx – Together (From The Great Gatsby Soundtrack)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4913445_lg.jpg)
In addition to Lana Del Rey and Florence + The Machine , we now get to hear The xx's new song contribution to the soundtrack for The Great Gatsby . It has some slick production and features a sleepy mood setting vibe, with cinematic strings and all. They pulled out all the stops for this one. We can expect to hear this during an important scene during the film's climax, one would think. Take a listen below.
Last week we got a taste of the forthcoming star-studded Great Gatsby 's star-studded soundtrack in the form of Florence + The Machine 's gorgeous "Over The Love" . And now we've got The xx 's "Together" : one of their most gorgeous and intimate tracks to date, as they incorporate a string section(!!) into their signature minimal production and icy boy-girl vocals pairing. See for yourself. The soundtrack is set for release on May 6th and will include more original music from [...]
Apparently, the new soundtrack for The Great Gatsby is looking to be one of the best because the artists that have been named and the tunes thus far are really good. The latest to appear off the movie score is called "Together" by The xx . The song is a haunting journey from beginning to end, which if you know the story of The Great Gatsby , then this will be a solid fit. You can stream the full track below and pick up the soundtrack on May 6th internationally and May 7th in the States. [...]
![[Listen] The xx: "Together" / "Reconsider" (Jamie xx Full Edit)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4913010_lg.jpg)
Por ahí de Diciembre comenzó a circular una grabación extraída de la presentación de Jamie xx en el Boiler Room, en donde podíamos degustar de una pequeña probadita de la edición que hizo de " Reconsider ", el bonus track que aparece en la edición digital del segundo álbum de The xx . Hasta cierto punto, a veces estoy de acuerdo con la idea de que Jamie xx debería de lanzar un álbum compuesto de ediciones de cada uno de los tracks que le dan vida a " Coexist ", pero por otra [...]
From it all starting "in a bedroom in South West London, after school, drinking too much Pepsi" to selling out shows internationally, it's fair to say that THE XX are damn hot property. They can now add to their heavy portfolio as their track 'Sunset' (from their latest record Coexist ) has been remixed by UK dance label Hot Creations co-owner, JAMIE JONES . The visuals of this YouTube upload feel as though we're looking at microscopic matter having a cheeky dance. Makes sense revealing the [...]
![[Listen] The xx: "Sunset" (Jamie Jones Remix)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4868272_lg.jpg)
Esta muy claro que " Sunset " es el tercer sencillo oficial que se desprende de " Coexist ", así que en una de esas y proximamente nos estaremos encontrando con la novedad de que The xx ya se encuentra trabajando en su respectivo vídeo oficial, ya que además en las últimas semanas la gente de Young Turks ha estado soltando un par de remixes de este track a través de Youtube, como el caso de esta remezcla que el productor Jamie Jones ha hecho de " Sunset ", extendiendo la toma original en un oasis dance de [...]
Deptford Goth 's debut album Life After Defo mixes youthful heartbreak with expert production to create one of the most fascinating records of the young year. The brainchild of Daniel Woolhouse, Deptford Goth mines R&B while taking equally from the singer-songwriter era to create a quiet album that's heavy on atmosphere, emotion, and intriguing production choices. Like all great albums, Life After Defo takes a while to truly grab hold of you. But, when it does open up, it's a revealing album that brings the [...]
Hawaiian born DJ Kim Ann Foxman took on The xx 's "Sunset" and put her own unique dance spin on it. Yet, if you are thinking about ignoring this, listen up because The xx are big fans and shared this remix on their Facebook page . From that post on their fan page, it's clear that The xx were grateful and really dug what she created. The remix incorporates new tempos that will get you moving in your seat and Foxman increases the happy vibes in it [...]

Cuando conocí a The xx no pensé que su montaje en vivo tuviera una potencia auditiva como la que han venido manejando desde el lanzamiento de " Coexist "; y es que en si cada una de las canciones que han entregado hasta el momento no cuentan con una textura explosiva, o que sea capaz de abarcar todo nuestro entorno para dejarnos completamente sordos. Pero eso es lo que ha hecho de The xx algo especial e intimo, y con ello también logran transmitir una tensión romántica que se agradece demasiado al final de un día [...]
Been awhile since I posted something from UK trio The xx , but here were are with their live cover of Kings of Tomorrow 's 2000 single, "Finally." They performed this yesterday at BBC Radio 1's show Live Lounge Late and absolutely nailed it. I love the groovy guitar line, chill beat, and the vocals that accompany it. I don't think there is anything these guys can't do. Stream below. Fresh? Tweet
![[Listen] The xx: "Finally" (Kings of Tomorrow Cover)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4815830_lg.jpg)
A diferencia de los dos covers que The xx presentó desde que arrancó el año, en este que acaban de colgar a través del soundcloud de Young Turks si se puede percibir que Jamie xx estuvo presente en el estudio de grabación, ya que en los anteriores solamente aparecía Romy y Oliver haciendo versiones demasiado relajadas que incluso, muchos por ahí comenzaron a presentar como un formato acústico de The xx . Bueee, lo que si es que esta versión que grabaron en la BBC Radio 1 de "Finally" de Kings Of [...]
If Oliver Sim from The xx were to cover a song by Depeche Mode featuring Hurts ... well, that would sound exactly like Thomas Azier . He is a Berlin-based but originally Dutch multi-instrumentalist and plays some splendid electropop with occasional darkwave influences. Thomas started getting some exposure in 2011, when he supported Finnish pop female trio LCMDF (that stands for Le Corps Mince De Françoise ) but [...]
Those of you not from the UK probably won't bat an eyelid when I say this, but today I'm writing about Woman's Hour . Not the long-running BBC Radio 4 female-oriented show, but the band - although the latter are named after the former, because it's "something they grew up with". I'll be honest, I haven't often listened to the show, but at this point I'm happy to stick to the band. They're a four-piece from Kendal in the Lake District, and they've actually been playing together for quite a while. However, [...]
GEMS is a duo who make carefully crafted music, as can be heard on their three blissful songs released to date. All is intentional in the way they are arranged: the melodies, vocals and lyrics work together to give a haunting yet sublime state of feeling. This synaesthesia in their music may lead you feel that you’re being surrounded by the cold, but it's also as refreshing as a morning breeze or drifting cradled by strong ocean waves. The duo is Lindsay Pitts and Clifford John, a couple who have been making music and living [...]
If you've had a lonely, loveless Valentine's Day so far, let The xx with their sunny disposition and bright clothes cheer you up, with their cover of Beyoncé's heart wrenching "I Miss You" . The track was co-written by Beyoncé and Frank Ocean for her 2011 album 4 , but The xx are taking the track to new heights (or lows depending on your level of depression), with their barely-there atmosphere [...]
Ok, The xx últimamente han andado muy afectuosos con todos sus escuchas, así que para hacer de este día de San Vaneltín algo mucho más especial, hace unos cuantos minutos decidieron presentar este cover que le hicieron a "I Miss You" de Beyoncé , track que además contó con una participación muy especial por parte de Frank Ocean . Este cover de The xx fue grabado este 12 de Febrero en Austin, Texas, y ustedes lo pueden disfrutar después del salto. The xx: Website / [...]
Last night at Solange 's show at XOYO in London she wasn't content with killing it already that she had to bring out The xx 's Oliver Sim to provide vocals on a cover of Nicole Ray's 1998 R&B jam that featured Missy Elliot . Check out the subdued, laidback, black and white version of one of the late-902s best R&B tracks (original below too), with Oliver dropping some near-spoken-word lines and singing along to the chorus. The xx's [...]
![[Listen] The xx: "Chained" (Oneman Remix)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4724140_lg.jpg)
Hemos vuelto a esos días en los que semana con semana aparece un nuevo remix de The xx en la red, lo cual sigue comprobando el hecho de que cada una de las canciones de " Coexist " tenían mucho más para dar en este formato, a diferencia de todas las versiones de estudio pero hey! Tal vez con esto aprendan de su pequeño desliz para ponerse las pilas y no privarse de tantos recursos para su tercera producción. Pero bueno, en esta ocasión ha sido Oneman quién se ha encargado de hacer su propio remix de " [...]
