version3.0

I got reminded a couple of times last week that I haven’t posted any music lately. Here I was thinking that no one paid any attention to what I was posting up. I promised those people that I would get back into it on the regular, so this is my first mix of the month in about 6 months. It’s not a new mix, but it has been on high rotation for me since I got hold of it last year.

This mix comes from remixer-in-demand and one third of The XX, Jamie XX. Apparently he was commissioned by uber-cool Parisian/online store Colette to produce this, and it was given away free with purchase.

There is a reasonably chunky vein of dubstep running through this mix, but it also has enough UK garage and more downbeat electronic vibes thrown in to keep it interesting. I totally love that track from The Streets he drops at the beginning, which is apparently an old B-side on one of the single versions of ‘Has it Come to This?’. There are plenty of other highlights. Check the track list below and get amongst it.

If you dig this I can thoroughly recommend you pick up Jamie XX’s remix album that he did with Gil Scott-Heron, We’re New Here.

Sometimes the best cure for a bad mood is just to make a bit of music. By coincidence ISO50 posted up this lovely little music grid ‘Sound Matrix’ from SEMBEO. Just click on some squares to start creating. It doesn’t get more simple than that.
