Spreading like wildfire across the blogs, here’s our new favorite band The XX with their splendid 2-steppy reworking complete with duelling boy/girl vocals of the track “You’ve Got The Love” from Florence And The Machine. (Via Fact Magazine)

British quartet The XX have taken the blogs and also the lovely Grindin crowd by storm, well deserved of course with their timid and beautiful electropop. Here’s two remixes of the single track “Basic Space” (released digitally next week), the first one comes courtesy of Astronomer (maybe better known as Alex Egan of Skull Juice fame), the second remix comes from Montreal producer/dj Lunice. Both of them transports the track towards the dancefloor but they go about in quite different ways where Lunice glitches it up while the Astronomer extends it to almost 7 minutes throwing in some bass, handclaps and synths making it more of a set opener.

London four piece The XX will release their debut album “XX” on August 17th (on Young Turks Records). The XX is definetely one of the bands to watch in 2009 with their tender and melancholic pop filled with soft sung boy/girl vocals.

This mix for Fact Magazine was mixed by Jamie Smith, who produces as well as plays in the band, and it features CocoRosie, Sticky and Ms Dynamite, Four Tet, Zomby, Burial + plenty of the band’s songs alongside exclusive edits and solo material.
