This remix of Florence and the Machine by the xx [yes yes I’ve already posted tracks by them, but remixes are different right?] is ammmmazing… I was lucky enough to catch the free show at Zulu records recently. While I don’t think you’ll find anyone saying their music is crazy ground breaking, technically difficult, or that they are amazing musicians, but they have something that, when combined with the minimalist composition, and their almost hesitant performances, lets them get away with duets of all things. ;-) The fact that their remixes are so well done seems indicative of a true understanding of musical composition rather than a just-by-luck stumbling upon a pleasing formula, and hopefully we see further remixes.

The twelves have also been doing some good remix work too, on top of their own material, they came to Van recently and I wish I’d gone to see them, but it was a Sunday, and a lazy one at that if I remember correctly… ;) There’s a million remixes of radiohead but really, why stop now haha

And wow, just wow, this shit is hilarious, dj parker remixes caspa w/ a bunch of ridiculousness, but it’s kind of actually awesome, I could definitely dig some good crossover like this in dubstep like Parov Stelars (and others) jazz/30s/house fusion was to house music. [Which… somehow… I haven’t posted any of yet… okay coming soon.]

dj parker – wheres my monkey
