SummersRadio™ New Music/ Remixes + Free Download! The xx!

SummersRadio™ New Music/ Remixes + Free Download! The xx - 'Angels' (Pacific Nations' Der Rausch Remix)

The xx released their new single 'Angel' on Facebook just days ago - and already there are nearly 40 remixes posted on Soundcloud alone! 'Angel' is the first single and first track on their sophomore album called 'Coexist' which will be released on September 10th on the Young Turks label.

So I listened to pretty much every remix - nearly every possible electronic subgenre is covered - a few are turrible, but there are some quite remarkable ones as well. I've chosen my two favourites of the lot here starting with this amazingly epic spacey transformation from London's Pacific Nations.

                   

I like how they maintain the ambiance of the original and expand on it at the same time. It begins with great hypnotic vocals effects, gradually building up as it floats along perfectly - the is 'Pacific Nations' Der Rausch Remix'... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Music! The xx!

SummersRadio™ New Music! The xx - 'Open Eyes' (Demo) The xx have just released a new demo online on their website called 'Open Eyes'! No official word yet on whether or not the song will appear on the final tracklisting of their new album which is due out in the first half of next year - but this demo was made during it's recording. The album will be the follow up to their acclaimed self titled 2009 debut - which the London band hope to have completed in time for the festival season.

Apparently their new album is inspired by club music - although you certainly wouldn't know that from listening to this - The xx sound like their usual sparse low-key selves. I've always preferred their remixes to their originals, but as this is only a demo, who knows what it might actually sound like when it's completed. For now though, they sound a bit sleepy - like they've had a bit too much turkey this weekend and the tryptophan is kicking in. :)

This is the demo version of their new song called 'Open Eyes'... Enjoy!

The xx - Night Time (Pále Bootleg Remix) by Pále

Classic! Deep Dish featuring Everything But The Girl - 'The Future Of The Future (Stay Gold)' This song began it's life as an instrumental Deep Dish single in 1996 called 'Stay Gold' - two years later the vocals of Tracey Thorn were added and it was renamed 'The Future Of The Future (Stay Gold)' and again released as a single - the song was also featured on Everything But The Girl's last album of new material 'Temperamental' in 1999. This is the club classic 'The Future Of The Future (Stay Gold)'... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Cover! OMD!

SummersRadio™ New Cover! OMD - 'VCR' Somewhat surprisingly The xx cite Orchestral Manoeuvers In The Dark - better known as OMD - as one of their influences. Perhaps in a show of mutual admiration OMD have recently released a cover of The xx's 'VCR'! The synths make it sound like it easily could have sat along side 'Joan Of Arc' on their classic 1981 album 'Architecture & Morality' - Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ Best Of 2010! The xx - Remixed!

SummersRadio™ Best Of 2010! The xx - 'VCR' (Four Tet Remix) This remix from fellow Elliot School alumni Four Tet came out this September. A fan has the remix accompanied by footage from the 1940 animated film 'Fantasia' which I believe Avatar owes a bit to... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ Classic! The xx - Remixed!

SummersRadio™ Classic! The xx - 'Crystalised' (Rory Phillips Remix) Like The xx, Rory Phillips is a Londoner - and this remix came out last year. While The xx have their appeal I still found them a bit lethargic overall initially - but I credit this particular remix by Rory Phillips (followed by many others of course) for making me see them in a different light! As this came out in 2009 it won't be tagged as part of the Best Of 2010 - but it is a modern classic - and if you missed it the first time around I also highly recommend checking out the Slyde remix of this song posted on Nov. 15th - Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ Best Of 2010! The xx - Remixed!

SummersRadio™ Best Of 2010! The xx - 'Stars' (LAZRtag Remix) The xx are an indie rock band from London that met while studying at Elliot School - other notable musicians who've studied there include Burial, Hot Chip, and Four Tet! Their self titled debut album was released in August 2009 and it won the Mercury Music Prize this September. While the album itself came out last year, 2010 was the year of remixes for The xx, with a number of producers turning their low-fi whispery tunes into full on club classics. While most remixes are unofficial, I certainly wouldn't be surprised to see a proper remix album released sometime in the future, as there are a lot of great transformations out there... this is 'Stars' remixed by L.A.'s LAZRtag - which came out in June - Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ New Remix! The xx!

SummersRadio™ New Remix! The xx - 'Crystalised' (Slyde Remix) Well there certainly hasn't been any shortage of great xx remixes lately... Enjoy!
