Koreless 4D/MTI

19 Year old Glaswegian Lewis Roberts aka. Koreless, heavily backed by the likes of none other than Gilles Peterson has released a killer EP 4D/MTI. Those who listen to Jamie xx's mixes might recognise MTI from his Benji B radio show mix, if anything a seal of quality from a man who is so hot right now. Koreless plays with vocal samples on both tracks, MTI, though being a B side in my opinion is actually the stronger track with an awesome drop and easily danceable beat to boot.

This one is dedicated to those working late at night as I've been doing myself for the last few weeks now and probably for another few weeks to come.

Rolling in the Deep (Jamie XX Reshuffle/Remix)

The xx made many if not most people's best of 2009 charts, and much of the credit thrown towards the young Brits is thanks to the production talent of Jamie who does remixes under the Jamie xx moniker. Applying the xx's trademark sound to tracks, stripping them down to their bare bones and showcasing their true essence as music with production ironically thrown out the window. If people didn't take notice with Jamie's remixes of Glasser, Jack Penate and Eliza Doolittle, they certainly rose up and embraced his reworking of Florence and the Machine who  reworked You've Got The Love; and to be honest if you were a producer who had a track reworked, and distributed with the Jamie xx sticker on it you'd be understandably pretty pissed off because in my humble opinion he's showing everybody how its done. He takes these tracks and not only makes them his own but makes them as some might suggest should have been made in the first place. 
Come 2011 and he's dropped another bombshell with a reworking of Adele's Rolling in the Deep. Speaking in architectural terms Jamie creates a modernist masterpiece where the song is honest in its materials/samples, practically minimalist, always focused and never detracting from the landscape/environment that is Adele's amazing voice that can at one moment can seem synonymous with sunlight gently piercing a tree's soft, fresh leaves and at the next sends the ground shaking and making you feel horrible for yet again getting on her bad side. 


Make sure to not only check out Rolling in the Deep (Jamie XX Remix) but also his reinterpretation of Gil Scott Heron's album 'I'm New Here' funnily enough entitled 'We're New Here'.
