:papercutz – Lylac (Helios Remix) from :papercutz on Vimeo.

I had never heard of :papercutz before but stumbled upon this via @lizzyville on twitter. She manages a great site and was giving this vid a nod so here we are. First things first, the song is really great. Add the gorgeous, lush images which come courtesy of Japanese animation star Daihei Shibataof and you get what I believe is supposed to represent the beginning of life –heady stuff– and you also get a great piece of art. <via>

Creep

Wednesday, February 17th, 2010

Slowly getting details about this new project made up of two females from Brooklyn going by the name of Creep…

They are Lauren Dillard + Lauren Flax and up until today I had only heard the 63 second slice of music on the duo’s MySpace. I asked when we will get to hear some additional music and here are the details from LFlax:

2 new original songs will be up in the next coming weeks to our myspace with Romy from the xx singing.
Set to release on TriAngle records (Kompakt’s sublabel) in the spring time.

**Update 02.19.10**
Robin from 20 Jazz Funk Greats just sent an email clarifying the label situation…
this is robin from tri angle. just wanted to make a few things clear in relation to the post you wrote about creep, as you have been slightly misinformed. tri angle is not a sublabel of kompakt, it is merely being distributed by kompakt, so if you could make that change that would be appreciated because it’s quite important to me. to be honest nothing was supposed to have been said about the project at this point in time, so i’m a little thrown off by everything that has taken place over the last day..

I am excited to hear what Romy will sound like over the top of some dark+glitchy sounds such as these.

They just sent this remix.
Baghdaddy – Hot Shit (Creep Remix)

Jamie xx for Annie Mac

Last Friday on BBC1 Annie Mac debuted a new mini-mix curated by Jamie from The xx. I’ve posted a couple of these mini-mixes here before, it’s kind of bewildering how someone can cram 20 tracks (tracklist in comments) into a 5 minute mix but that’s what these are about and the results here are pretty great.

Jamie xx Mini Mix for Annie Mac

Due to the amount of well-done but low bitrate remixes making the rounds lately rumors have started swirling about a remix album featuring The xx. There is also supposedly a remix album from The xx in the works. The group is taking on Gil Scott-Heron’s latest, I’m New Here.

So maybe we are slowly piecing this thing together…

The xx – Islands (Nosaj Thing Remix)
The xx – Islands (FaltyDL Remix)

One of the best albums of the year: The xx

Tuesday, February 9th, 2010

One of the most interesting and best things I’ve heard all year just came to me a week ago. The xx have created one of the most understated, beautiful and totally moving albums I have heard in a long time.

The debut single from the band, “Crystalised” has received copious amounts of press from NPR, Guardian, the nme and many others. Crystalised is an album highlight along with VCR, Shelter, Infinity… basically of the first 7 tracks only “Islands” is a bit of a lull and even it is good.


The xx – Crystalised

I can guarantee this album will be on my, and many of my blog-brethern’s, best of year lists. This is an album that is near impeccable, beginning to end. The one misstep for me is Basic Space which unfortunately is being released as the second single. The song does nothing for me, I hope others do not feel this way because it’s really not a good entree to The xx. Since it’s a single you can count on many remixes…

The xx – Basic Space
The xx – Basic Space (M.A.T.H.E.S Remix) (aka Micachu)
The xx – Basic Space (Pariah Remix)

The U.K.’s FACT Magazine (go there for the tracklisting) commissioned the group to curate the latest edition of their mix series. This 30 minute set showcases some really great artists and provides a little window into The xx’s influences and contemporaries.
