Listen! The xx – Chained (John Talabot & Pional Blinded Remix)

We have a sprawling, 8 and a half minute remix of The xx for you. Like most remixes of The xx, the track takes the original, minimalist tracks, shakes them up, and gives them a kick in the ass. I love The xx, but I think their next step should be a reflection of Jamie xx’s DJ skills mixed with their at-times upbeat live show – no more brilliant minimalist albums, please.

This remix is done by John Talabot and Pional and lifts a beat from The Streets’ Blinded by the Lights. Give it a listen below.
