WONGIE JAM OF THE WEEK: jamie xx feat young thug & popcaan - i know there's gonna be (good times)

jamie xx feat young thug & popcaan - i know there's gonna be (good times)
easily one of my fave jams of the year until you start to listen to the lyrics from young thug & popcaan, then it's like 'ew...' but then the retro jam kicks back in and all is forgiven! the most divisive jam of the year for me really...

WONGIE SONG OF THE WEEK: jamie xx feat romy - loud places

jamie xx feat romy - loud places
with his debut album 'in colour' set for a summer release, jamie xx brings us his latest single featuring his xx co-member romy madley croft on vocals. the melancholic chill ballad evolves into a gospel-esque singalong with the sadness deeply rooted through the tune. it's all sorts of brilliant really!

wanna hear more tracks from the upcoming album? check out some songs below!

INDIE DANCE BITCH DANCE: the xx - sunset (jamie xx edit)

the xx - sunset (jamie xx edit)
why the WHOLE xx album didn't try to beef up their sound is beyond me (jamie xx is a member of the band for gosh sake!) this is a very nice version with a kooky french tv video to boot. remix the whole album jamie xx!!!

WONGIE SONG OF THE MONTH: drake feat rihanna - take care

drake feat rihanna - take care
[this gorgeous video by yvonne lemoine just adds to the haunting melancholic genius that samples the original  jamie xx/ gil scott heron produced song. i have been playing this non stop for the past week and i'm obsessed. OBSESSED i tell you!!!]

WONGIE SONG OF THE WEEK: gil scott heron and jamie xx - i'll take care of u

gil scott heron and jamie xx - i'll take care of u
[oh my gosh, how awesome is this song? opening up as a solemn bluesy number then the track spins into a club anthem all the while keeping the mellowness of it's initial offering! kudos to jamie xx for showcasing his continued musicality genius, especially when remixing the likes of a legend like gil scott heron!]

[aw yeah, the 1st wonderful remix of the year falls upon my beloved adele tweaked by the equally favored jamie from the xx! it's a quirky funked up stomp and just the way 2011 should be!]
