Den zwei überaus angesagten britischen Bands steht in nächster Zeit ein Auftritt im Zürcher Mascotte bevor. Nach dem Klick zeigen wir, dass die Londoner auch im Zusammenklang sehr wohl funktionieren. Der geheimnisvolle Minimalismus der Shoegazer und das energiegeladene Stimmfeuerwerk der rothaarigen Florence - man könnte meinen, die beiden Welten, die hier aufeinandertreffen, hätten miteinander so [...]

Florence + the Machine – You’ve Got the Love ( XX remix) [ mp3 ] excellent video, excellent remix, we are in love [via BIGSTEREO ]

The XX are one of the years best "new" bands. Their full-length, self-titled, debut record has gotten critical acclaim from everyone and even gained them a spot on Pitchfork's highly touted "Best New Music" list. Like all bands these days, The XX are hopping on the remix bandwagon and taking their "r&b meets art pop" approach to other peoples songs. On their remix of Florence + The Machine , they use an acapella loop from the original track, splice it into some shuffling drum patterns and use a nice bouncy bass. They also layer their own alternating boy/girl [...]

We were utterly disappointed when Florence + The Machine did not win the Mercury, losing out to Speech Debelle instead. After all, her album was such a howler and more than deserving. We are hoping sales manage to make up for her disappointment! When we stumbled upon a remix of one of her tracks by the HOTTEST band of the moment, The XX , we were literally drooling. We had high expectations and they didn't disappoint. Its not just an ordinary remix they did, by lending their vocals to the track, [...]
I don't know masses about dance music, but I do have an opinion or two on remixes - formed while listening to the The Remix, a terrific show on Xfm, and dating back to the time when CD singles had four remixes and a radio edit as B sides. I think a good remix - much [...]

Hello boys and girls...so I haven't updated this in a while (I blame FAKE BLOOD ...quite rightedly I partied pretty hard as summer was running out. Why not? I had BESTIVAL , which was possibly one of the best experiences of my life so far. I visited Oxford for the first time (twice!) and love it there. I started a new college art course, and am busy with that as well as looking at universities. And it's my birthday next week! [...]

Words by Scott Curtis . When PMA asked me to create a mix for them I immediately started putting something together that was all encompassing, a mix to show what Living Ears was about in the past, the present and where I see the future of the site going. I put together a playlist that had just over 40 songs. As I started playing through it what quickly stood out was the number of incredibly strong tracks from the past 3 months or so that stood up to much of what I was pulling from [...]

Some of y'all were like "hey, EAR FARM, where done gone 'dem Free Music Friday MP3s from last week?!" Truth is, we were all caught up in our mini redesign and relaunch and needed some extra time to take care of business. But now! Now we are back, better than ever, with an extra-large Free Music Friday post that includes some free and legal music from a bunch of heavy hitters... just click the band name for the band's site and the song name for the MP3. In addition, we've got a bit [...]

The xx really are creating some great remixes, as well as great music, lately. The song wonderfully begins with an entrancing dream-like sequence followed by a beat which remains constant throughout the song. The duel vocal of the xx's two leads then play off each other with a quiet, subtly confident delivery that goes over incredibly. Silence fills after a simultaneously delivery of “Your love is real”. The song then explodes with Florence's soulful back and forth denial and acceptance of “You know it’s real”. This entire 5 minute 44 second song perfectly grasps the emotional highs [...]
You'd have to hope there isn't too much of a "you were the future - once" element to having the XX remix Florence And The Machine. It does sound good, though - RCRDLBL are doing the hosting , and the track is You've Got The Love. I wonder who'll be adding a bit of bright-eyed lustre to The XX by remixing them next year...

Olen The xx-ist siin rohkem kirjutanud kui ühestki teisest bändist, endal ka juba imelik, aga mis sa teed, kui nad nii hoogsad hiti- ja remiksimasinad on. Täna jälle. Florence & The Machine - You've Got The Love (The xx Remix) Ütleks küll, et siin on tegu pigem coveri või siis ehk coveri coveri (mitte hovery covery) kui remixiga, aga The xx käis Florence'iga koos just tuuril ja küll nad teavad paremini, kuidas au ja kuulsust jagada. Pilt [...]
The xx and Candi Staton, two bands/artists I doubt you ever thought you'd hear mentioned in the same sentence? Me neither! Well now you have, here's why... Those busy boys and girls who make up The xx have released another great remix. This time round it's a remix of a cover featuring new vocals, get that? 'You Got The Love' was originally a hit for The Source and Candi Staton back in 1991. Florence & The Machine covered the track for her debut album 'Lungs' and regularly performs it at [...]
