Desde que escuchamos a The xx por primera vez hemos podido identificar su sonido como único, sencillo, nostálgico y hasta minimalista. Escuchar sus canciones son sinónimo de momentos relajados e íntimos, hasta ahora. André VII , uno de los productores de música electrónica con más renombre de nuestro país, se dio a la tarea de realizar una versión completamente bailable de " Chained " , uno de los himnos de la banda. Lo que es realmente destacable es que en este remix no oficial, André ha conseguido conservar la esencia nostálgica del grupo a [...]

Nickel n'est autre que le projet solo du Hambourgeois Robert Nickel, moitié du duo Hey Today! ( Kitsuné , Turbo ). Il sortira son premier EP ZYGYM sur le label français Police le 28 janvier prochain. Pour nous mettre dans le bain voici son tout récent remix du titre Chained des XX .

There are some acts that producers and DJs just can't get enough of when it comes to cranking out remixes. And if you have browsed Potholes regularly in the past year or so, you have probably noticed that we, too, are never satisfied when it comes to find new interpretations of our favorite artists and their music. Previously, we highlighted our favorite takes on Danny Brown tracks , which continue to get flipped into new and intriguing directions. But today, we're talking a stroll from Detroit to London to show love to some of the [...]

Andre VII , el polifacético artista mexicano, director de Sicario Music , co-fundador de Electrique Music , miembro fundador de bandas como The Wookies, Vice fever, Golden Dead Boyz y en solitario como DJ y productor, se acaba de marcar un gradísimo remix para " Chained ", tema origimal de The XX incluido en su último álbum " Coexit ". Y es [...]

I'm going to be honest; there are way too many XX remixes. Tumblr is saturated with them and even on Facebook, I see friends posting cringe- worthy mixes done with Kanye West or even worse, Notorious B.I.G.For a while, it seemed that every remix I stumbled upon was a cheaply done mashup with the minimalistic "Intro." So it's a breath of fresh air to find a remix of an XX song that is rarely mixed and done well. The original of "Fiction" is a long lost [...]

In a sense, Kid Smpl's remix of The xx's "Fiction" demarcates the logical furthest extent of the London trio's vision. It's made up almost entirely of infrequent, out of breath kicks, melancholy keys and atmospheric found sounds. Rommy's vocals are pushed so far into the mix that they almost operate as random found sounds and the beat (when there is one) is as airy and atmospheric as they come. Without expectations, Smpl has crafted an effortlessly beatific night time anthem that achieves more with less and might remind some listeners why they fell in love with The xx in the first [...]
A while back, we posted a remix of one of Kid Smpl 's tracks "What Kept Us." That was the first time I became acquainted with the artist and he has been on my musical radar ever since. Today, the Seattle based musician has decided to release a remix of his own, choosing to alter the XX's poignant track "Fiction." Smothering the vocals of the original, the listener will only be able to hear mumbles as Kid Smpl gently lays over his own assortment of echoing piano chords and atmospheric samples. Reminding me of productions from other producers such [...]

Artwork: Yannis Dragasakis Here we go. It may be the first days of the New Year, but we're still listening to our favorite albums, tracks, remixes and EPs of 2012. It was certainly an amazing year for us during which we started our radio show "OFF The Road", we shared with you some exclusive La.Ga.Sta. mixes by Duke Dumont, Beni, Pharao Black Magic, and we dropped our free 14-track "Late Summer Compilation 20123 with lots of fresh tunes, already downloaded by more than 20.000 vroomers! Many thanks for your support. Today, [...]

I don't know what it is about The xx but they keep delivering singles and re-edits that I cannot stop listening to. The minimalist style allows for other artists to come in and fool around, but what I appreciate the most about this band is their willingness to play around with their own stuff. One lesson I learned in art school is that no work is ever completely finished. This can be a burden to some (me being one) it is also a freedom. An idea has a beginning point, but its end is infinite. Ideas evolve and [...]

Jamie xx does some reworking of his own (well, mostly his own) material, changing up The xx track "Sunset". While keeping the vocals of Romy Madley Croft and Oliver Sim in tact, Jamie extends the song by nearly double its original length, adding in an incredibly catchy bassline, sweeping synthesized drones, and a slew of solid drum machine effects. The result is a much clubbier track than the original, but in no way is that a negative. Check it out below and let us know what you think of Jamie's rework, and for comparison we've also included [...]
The xx released their sophomore album, Coexist , this past year and I must admit-I was a pretty bad fan. The only time I really listened to the LP was when I was trying to fall asleep and to this day I honestly can't really tell one song for another, aside from the first track. Anyways! "Sunset" is good. So, this is essentially a metaremix , as Jamie xx already produced the original version. I think he makes it better, doesn't overdo it...but that's not really his thing. What do you guys think? Do you like [...]
Jamie xx must not have felt entirely satisfied with the final edit of "Sunset" that ended up on his band's second record, 20122s widely acclaimed Coexist , so here's a stretched-out, grooved-up new mix he's just released for streaming. We like how he keeps Romy Madley Croft's and Oliver Sim's confessional vocals unedited at the forefront while mixing in shuffling, clubby drum machine, sweeping sci-fi drones, and an irresistible, dreamy bassline. Check it out. Read more articles like " Jamie xx remixes the xx "Sunset" " [...]
