The spare and smoldering electro/guitar bits comprised by the xx LP are ripe for remix reduction, the latest coming from 23-year-old L.A. producer Jason Chung aka Nosaj Thing. His take on the best new artist of 2009′s “Islands” comes on the heels of a redo for Chalotte Gainsbourg (Radiohead and hometown brethren Flying Lotus before that), pitting its native vocals inside trip-hopped, stereoscopic synths and trickly beats, locating the xx’s “Islands” somewhere between Bristol and Flying Lotus’s Los Angeles.

Here’s that Radiohead take in case you’re missing it:
xx is out, and Nosaj Thing has an LP his own titled Drift out via AlphaPup.

“…and it’s AWESOME!” should be the 2nd part of that headline.
Love me some Nosaj Thing.
That was terrible. I have been wanting to hear that song remixed for a while. Makes me wonder why people even bother. I mean great do it. Show your friends. Don’t bother the rest of us. That could be done so much better just using the sounds already there. Or maybe a dubstep version?
I hate remixes. But the Reckoner remix is just so tasty.
not awesome. this remix made the most beautiful parts of this song, monotone and meaningless.
I think even Dubstep would have done a better job.
