Urbané Transformation

We’ve got some big tracks this morning – all of which have been transformed one way or another.
First up is a the new effort from DJ E whose mashup with The xx and Mims reminds me of the hugely popular Tupac and Biggie remix that we featured last year. The xx create the perfect backdrop for a really good effort despite my dislike for Mims.

Next up is another artist who I wouldn’t dream of listening to unless it was treated with some heavy beats to mask the lyrical soppiness. Luckily Maximus Baxter have injected some life into McLean’s latest single.

[...] Ich will ja gar nicht sagen, was ich von The XX halte, weil mich sonst wieder alle mit angezündeten Mistgabeln aufspießen möchte; ich hab die Kids trotzdem auf Dauerrotation, weil Langweile ja bekanntlich ganz gut zum Einschlafen ist. Und, okay, so langweilig sind die auch wieder nicht, und außerdem habe ich The XX gehört, bevor irgendwer sonst sie gehört hat. So. Und im Mash Up macht’s noch mehr Spaß. Download. [...]
