The Putney lad has past form turning thoughtful material into hands-in-the-air bangers. Check out this driving reworking of ‘Bloom’, a Radiohead track which opened their wilfully obtuse 2011 album ‘The King Of Limbs’.
It goes both ways though; the talented spinner managed to turn Adele’s colossal ballad ‘Rolling in the Deep’ into a spiky, deconstructed dancehall stutter.
Merging cutting edge artistry with a working DJ’s instinct to keep the floor fillers coming, his early take on Glasser’s track ‘Tremel’ kicks off as a patchwork synth-squelch grinder, before a closing victory lap off cheerful 90s garage.
The xx themselves are fresh from proving to be worthy festival headliners, and are about to embark on a major tour including dates in San Diego, Salt Lake City, Miami, Mexico City, Auckland, Melbourne and wrapping up in Sydney on January 20th.
Jame xx’s remix of ‘On Hold’ was released at midnight today
