Four Tet Remixes The XX :: “Angels” (Four Tet Remix) (MP3)

As with any major release nowadays, the number of remixes, both official and bootleg, can be overwhelming. So how does one decide which rework of a band as beloved as The XX is worth listening to? How about asking Jamie XX of the group itself, who debuted a remix of their current single, “Angels” done by Four Tet, whose recent remixes of indie luminaries such as Radiohead, Vampire Weekend and Battles (plus his own superb catalog of work) has made him one remixer you can certainly count on.

HEAR Radiohead Bonus Remixes (MP3)

The remixes keep coming from the Radiohead camp. Having supplied an endless series of quality reworking, leading up to the release of TKOL1234567, Radiohead have decided to give up a few alternate mixes from Jamie XX, Nathan Fake and Anstam from the ones that appeared on the two-CD release. We can assume that this is the last of the collection, but who knows what else is in store.

HEAR Thom Yorke BBC 6Mix (MP3)

Radiohead seem to have come to a new point in their storied career, where their own music seems almost secondary to the fact that they bring a constant awareness of new sounds to a mass audience that might not otherwise invest the time in finding new music themselves.

To that end, Thom Yorke took to the mixing board for this week’s BBC 6Mix with a two hour selection of songs that are “inspiring” him right now. And while there’s a lot of obvious selections in the set—J Dilla, Caribou, Jamie XX, Flying Lotus—the real tresures are found in the inclusion of artists such as Dabrye, Ricardo Villalobos & Max Loderbaur, Tapes and Steve Poindexter, whose music flies under all but the most dedicated music fan’s radar.

There is also of course selections from the recently released TKOL 1234567 remix collection, as well as a not before heard “club” mix of Jamie XX’s version of Radiohead’s “Bloom.”

You can glance the tracklist after the jump and stream the full session on the BBC website.
