The xx | Chained (John Talabot & Pional Blinded Remix)
John Talabot and fellow Spaniard producer Pional (pictured above) have come together to rework the lead single from The xx ’s latest record, Coexist . The collaboration first caught our attention when Jamie xx ’s played out a clip of it during his recent Boiler Room set in Berlin , but it’s a pleasure to be treated to the track in it’s entirety.
The sprawling, eight-and-a-half minute piece references The Streets’ “Blinded by the Light,” and if you listen closely, you’ll understand why. The pair’s stammering synths that, along with the percussion, generate that dance floor groove are lifted from The Street’s opus.
We haven’t heard anything on an official release of the remix yet but you’ll know when we do.
