The Saturday Mix #47



The xx - Shelter (Tiga Remix)
I think this is single-handedly one of the best The xx remixes out there. Tiga (who by the way will be in Singapore for the Singapore F1 GP entertainment lineup) has run this classic through the dub machine and what's come out is pure aural pleasure. 101% satisfaction guaranteed. The heavy dub beat contrasts starkly with Croft's languid minimalist vocals and it feels spectral as it feels sensual. The bpm remains untempered, and prolly for good reason. It's at a really sweet pace, and now coupled with an out of this world dub beat, it would bring out the sexy of everybody on the dancefloor.

While I'm a bit busy here, hence only posting one song, I honestly think this remix itself could hold it's own. Anywhere.
