First up, I might be two days late with the sharing of this charming and elegant offering from the angelic voice of Jessie Ware and the soulful tones of the man Sampha. I have been a lover (pun intended) of this tune ever since hearing it on Dark Sky’s FACT Mix but came to enjoy it even more when seeing the two of them perform it on Monday’s nights Young Turks takeover on the Boiler Room, I implore you to search Youtube in the hope that it gets uploaded as it’s an impeccable performance. Anyway enough of the ramble enjoy their track ‘Valentine’ if you like it as much as I do then you may be interested in the 7” heart shaped vinyl available from the Young Turks record shop .
From the angelic vocals of Jessie Ware to the haunting vocals of Romy Madley Croft of The XX who has provided her talents for fellow Young Turks’ stable mate Creep. I have gone for the remix by a man who had an excellent 2010 with his remix of Drake’s Fireworks receiving a nomination on the Dubstep Forum awards. High quality future garage with strings and vocals remnant of The XX, you can’t go wrong really.
I could fill this post with Young Turks’ related stuff as they are on fire as a label at the moment; I am going to save waxing lyrical about Jamie XX and Gil Scott Heron’s album until next month’s album reviews though and instead change the mood of the piece with some uplifting disco. The Magician offers up a piano-laden dance floor friendly rework of Lykke Li’s ‘I Follow the Rivers’. Free download is available for those interested.
From upbeat disco fun to an R&B slow jam as Jacques Green remixes Cassie’s ‘Must Be Love’ (featuring Diddy), first heard on the Jamie XX mix for Benji B earlier this year, a link for which can be found further down this blog in 3 J’s for January. I was delighted to track this remix down after hearing how well it blends with Mount Kimbie’s ‘Before I Move Off’ and have recently been moving down to the realms of 100bpm to incorporate this track into mixes. Again it is available as a free download, details of how to obtain are on the Soundcloud page.
Last but by no means least, a mix for your aural pleasure is another mix from TRM favourite Fantastic Mr Fox. Having provided this blog’s favourite mix of summer 2010 he was back behind the turntables to deliver another excellent selection of tracks in a bite size airing of 23 minutes.
