Helsinki’s
Renaissance Man have edited the thoroughly hyped
The XX remix of Florence And The Machine’s
You Got The Love, so technically we’re talking about an edit of a remix to a cover version of a remix, which is, of course, pretty insane. The jam is nice though, adding even more ravey gimmicks to the arrangement and breaking up The XX’s melancholic wobble with some dirty, rattling house beats.
You can download the track over at
The Fader, and get the The XX album
here, which still stands as one of the year's most compelling debut efforts.
