Stone Roses, Blur, Phoenix, Red Hot Chili Peppers Headline Coachella 2013

The line-up is out for the 14th Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, and there’s a lot of reasons for music fans to be excited, especially those obsessed with early-’90s UK music. Friday night will feature co-headliners Blur and The Stone Roses, two seminal UK acts that have reformed in recent years, much to brit-pop lover’s delight.

Saturday proves it still possible for newer bands to hit massive success, with French indie-poppers Phoenix handling headlining duties, followed by UK phenoms The xx. Sunday offers veteran fare with the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, two acts who have been making music since before the average Coachella camper was born.

Other highlights include Resident Advisor’s #1 DJ of 2012, Seth Troxler, the recently reformed LA hip-hop legends Jurassic …

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.

Jamie XX FACT Mix

Lots of DJs do frequent mixes, but few seem as prolific as Jamie XX, who has been turning out a memorable collection of songs with great frequency for places such as the BBC (Essential Mix and 6Mix) and the Numbers podcast. Or maybe we just pay more attention to Jamie’s collections because we can always count on a varied and excellent tracklist from the XX beatmaker.

The litest set comes in the form of a 30-minute FACT Mix, which is quite a bit shorter than the two-hour epic Essential Mix that just aired two weeks ago. But it’s still a tight package worth a quick listen.

Jamie XX :: Essential Mix (MP3)

Jamie XX has more or less become a one-man facinating beat brand, pushing out an amalgamation of electronic sounds more eclectic than 100 random club DJs combined. So we’re excited as all get-out to check this two hour mix he did for BBC Radio One’s legendary Essential Mix program (a show that usually isn’t so inventive itself). The mix opens with a classic from Orbital, and then gets deep with interesting gems from Floating Points, James Blake and Jamie’s own reworkings of Gil Scott-Heron and Radiohead.
