Este año, The xx regresó a los escenarios lo hizo con nuevas canciones listas para ser ejecutadas en vivo. Tres de estas, todas sin nombre, ya las pudimos revisar hace pocos días pero abajo, compartimos una lista (construída por MTHRFNKR) con cinco temas en total, todos nuevos de Jamie xx y compañía. La nueva música [...]

Wait What, the man who brought rave reviews to his first two project The Notorious XX and NASD Out is back with anotha’ one. For the past few years house and dubstep have dominated over what was once a blooming genre, the Mash-Up. Slowing venturing into an awkward step-child role of dance music, the mash-up has been pushed aside and over-abused, but there are still a few producers who can play that card pretty well. Wait What is one of those producers. “Tingo,” is compilation of tracks mixing together some unlikely and extraordinary artists.  Some of the tracks featured on ...

"This has been our first week of shows for two years", says Oliver Sim as he glances over coyly at the packed Grand Hall of Battersea Arts Centre, "so you might have to bear with us." Since 2010, The xx have cemented themselves in the public consciousness as a force to be reckoned with. To say they’ve exploded would be an understatement, as performances at Coachella and Bonnaroo and a Mercury Prize win have demonstrated. But that was two years ago and since then, the musical landscape has shifted quite seismically. The group’s distinctive brand of dreamy R ...

Unveiling material from their forthcoming second album on the final date of a three-night run , the xx  performed in front of visuals resembling the inside of a plasma globe , the kind you touch in science lessons to demonstrate the flow of energy through the body. If any band is an expert in the intricacies of bodily contact, it's the xx, whose self-titled debut spent most of its running time shirking the outer world to hide beneath the duvet, staring deep into another's eyes. Romy Madley Croft, Oliver Sim and Jamie xx 's gentle but potent alchemy was one ...

…is on their way back on track. Bliss! Since their self-titled debut album ‘The XX’ in 2009, the band somewhat more or less separated. Or something like that. Call it family councelling? Since then, Jamie Smith - more known as Jamie XX - has become one of the most sought after producers and beat makers within the more minimalistic field of the music world. However, the rumour circulating from lip to lip, from mouth to mouth, from face to face, is that the group is coming back as a unity. According to sources the trio played a few gigs back in London ...

Any fears that the xx might go the full David Guetta on the London electronic pop outfit's upcoming sophomore album appear to be misplaced. In December, producer Jamie xx suggested the follow-up to the group's

Das Düsseldorfer Open Source Festival feilt weiter am Line-up für dieses Jahr. So vervollständigen jetzt unter anderem Singer/Songwriter Honig sowie die Indietroniker von The Hundred In The Hands die lange Liste der Acts. Die Veranstalter des Events, welcher am 30. Juni stattfindet, haben bereits die Disco-Punker WhoMadeWho bestätigt ( motor.de berichtete ), die Anfang des Jahres mit ihrem groovenden Album " Brighter " die Kritiker beeindruckten. Zudem werden sich auch die Indietronic-Newcomer Breton die Ehre geben, welche laut eigener Aussage große Kraftwerk -Fans sind. Demnach dürften sie auch große Freude an den Neo-Krautrockern von Stabil Elite finden, die sicherlich zahlreiche Songs aus ...

If there’s any artist’s new releases I geek out on, it would definitely be Four Tet. Born as Kieran Hebdan, the UK native has built a steady following over the years with his introspective electronic tracks. With appeal ranging from experimental to mainstream, Hebdan is definitely one to know in the electronic world. A definite genre pusher, his 2010 album There Is Love In You was arguably one of the best of the year, catapulting Four Tet ...

Visit Indie Shuffle to download. Sounds like: Burial, Jamie xx, Gold Panda Song: Four Tet - Jupiters [download here ] What's so good? Multiple planets by the same name? If Four Tet’s Kieran Hebden gets his way, why not! Structured as what almost sounds like two separate songs, “Jupiters” takes the listener through an array of electronic experimentations, surfacing after roughly two minutes with something that sounds quite similar to the emerging UK garage sound of Four Tet’s hometown, London. I generally don’t think that all listeners will have the attention span for this one, but, there’s ...

Minimalist indie rock trio The xx blew everyone away in 2009 with their phenomenal eponymous debut album. Since then, new material has been scarce. A few snippets have trickled online and sonic architect Jamie xx has launched promising solo ventures by going straight to the dancefloor. The tortured, restrained angst that characterized xx, though, has [...]

On my cloud, that is. Standout among many a chill remix of Gil Scott-Heron's glorious last stand by boy wonder Jamie  xx  Smith. Gil Scott-Heron & Jamie xx - My Cloud

A few days ago, Drake told NME, “For me, the David Guetta stuff just doesn’t work. I don’t really wanna go there.” We were glad to hear it. Even more exciting, though, are his nods to the undercurrent of more interesting electronic music. He’s worked with Jamie xx and SBTRKT, and after explaining why Guetta isn’t [...]

You’re in for an awesomely surprising treat. Fort Romeau has released an incredible remix (exclusively for FACT Magazine) of Dauwd’s 2011 hit “What’s There.” In itself, this is noteworthy; however, the most interesting thing about the release is that Fort Romeau is also the keyboardist from La Roux, which probably 99.9% of you would never guess from this release – I know I sure didn’t. The remix is ...

He is expected to work with Jamie xx on the follow up to 2011's 'Take Care'
