The remix of the year- Rob Da Bank, Radio 1. 2009s surprise success story, are South Londons masters of understatement The XX. While after a storming set of festival appearances, and a platinum selling debut album, Florence & The Machine have been inescapable this year. After the XX supported Florence on her sold-out UK tour a plan was hatched for them to remix her cover of Candi Statons You Got The Love. And while she is known for her over-the-top pop moments, the XXs quiet and whispery approach meant this was always going to be an exciting prospect. The result? Well, the reaction speaks for itself. Within hours of its appearance on the internet, it became Hype Machines most popular track. While at time of writing its the single most tweeted about song in the world right now. On the airwaves, Zane Lowe and Rob Da Bank have heralded it their remix of the year. And justifiably so. If you had to pick a track thats captured the genre-splicing sound of rave in 2009, its this. Taking elements of classic 2-step garage, uk funky, and bass-line, with the famous Candi Staton lyrics being mumbled by the male/ female duo of the XX, against Florences high-pitched parts, this truly is a remarkable piece of music. For once, believe the hype.
