Ah, yes, finally something new from the great London-based DJ xxxy this time in the form of a trap-drum pad/house vocal/instrumental hybrid remix for Polish artist XX▲N▲XX (we’re not sure either how you pronounce that). This xxxy remix is part of a new “Disappear” EP package from XX▲N▲XX which is due August 12th on U Know Me Records.

So here at b3sci we’re pretty big fans of EBTG, Walking Wounded & Temperamental are classics. The massive worldwide hit a/k/a the song that most 90’s bros know them by “Missing” occupies an odd place in the Everything But the Girl canon, as while the original was a more subdued track much in the duo’s subtle but at that time rapidly evolving toward dance style; the version that was a US #2 was a remix. So while melodically great, the version that remains seared in the consciousness of anyone who was conscious in the late 90’s is definitely a bit of a pastiche of its era. “Missing”s great melodic lines, though, get a superb rescue and a 2013 modernization from favorite of the blog Maths Time Joy and singer Kimberly Anne. We like it a lot.

Absolutely. love. it. The power, focus, content, killer instinct, conviction; everything about the Salaam Remi-produced “Clocks” is right, we need more of this in rap, hip hop, MUSIC right now. We can’t not stress enough how massive a talent this girl is. Kat Dahlia’s My Garden LP is due in February.
