A true heap of remixes are raining over this summer, this one from Four Tet who never fails us, I heard he went to school with Hot Chip, is this true? anyway this one is pretty stripped down and direct. Matthew Dear preps his album release by dropping a Poolside remix of his recent single Her Fantasy, the edit is laid back and defines their “daytime disco” personas. Fort Romeau ramps up the tempo on Picture’s debut on Cascine, the dub edit has a hint of more upbeat than i’d expect, definitely feeling house piano. I’m not sure if this Hatchback mix of Grovesnor ever made it to vinyl but its at summer jam level once you get comfortable with Grovesnor voice, its almost reaching this slow electro Rod Stewart feel, thats kind of impressive.
I have been trying to catch The Field live for years I think, sadly this is the closet i’ve gotten, totally love it, I thought I wouldn’t like the drummer but I was dead wrong.
Oh man – The Field looks great. And you’re right – that drummer’s an unlikely win. Nice restrained style.
And they are jamming on Elektron gear: great, innovative machines with a great retro look. (I’m sure you can appreciate it).
Matthew Dear’s remix is awesome.
james hetfield on drums everyone, with his flam rolls and his tom growls (and i think he’s cute!)
Agree with you on The Field – great stuff! Have also been trying to catch him live for a long time. In a few weeks he performs in my home town(Stavanger, Norway) – frustratingly just that one weekend when I’am abroad…the hunt continues:)
Great mixes! Coincidentally, Four Tet, Burial, Hot Chip, and the xx are all alumni of the same school I believe…
I got to see them awhile back in Seattle and was just blown away. Their visuals were incredible as you can see here…

at the show the visuals were presented in B&W and I think that really helped sell the illusion better than the color version.
