The xx – “Sunset (Jamie xx Edit)”
Jamie xx already produced the xx’s “Sunset,” the most dance-informed song on his band’s 2012 sophomore album Coexist. But now he’s gone and remixed his own track, turning up the thump and converting it into a six-minute floor-filler, albeit one with a ton of negative space. It’s a great example of a remix that keep’s the song’s original allure intact while adding plenty of propulsion. Listen below.
Coexist is out now on Young Turks. Meanwhile, for the next few days, you can get the remix for free from iTunes.
