NOT SO NEW: Jamie xx - Beat For

Listen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zgX5ASrQT1s
Any track where the top comments on Youtube are: "This song sounds like when you're coming up on E, AMAZING!" and "Masturbation time!" is always going to be a winner. 2011 marked a massive turn for Jamie xx with the release of his Gil Scott-Heron remix album where he finally stepped out of Romy and Oliver's long casting shadows of minimalist depression and fully confirmed himself as one of the most talented producers on the scene. Before that there had been a few remixes and sets floating around from Sir xx, the real stand out being Mix For Colette, featuring everything from the hard hitting, no nonsense Street Score by The Streets to the uplifting, life promoting In The Morning from Egypt. Beat For offers a small taster for the full hour long set so if you rate this then it's fully worth the Google application to track down the extended mix - Peaks'n'Troughs
