Review / Description
————
If it’s a PR’s wet dream and a canny move by XL Recordings, Jamie xx’s remix of Gil Scott Heron’s 2010 album I’m New Here also results in moments of awesome, arresting soul. Scott Heron is a master of the kind of music I’m talking about, and with his remixer’s grasp of the heart of a track already proven (by remixes of Florence And The Machine’s ‘You’ve Got The Love’ and Adele’s ‘Rolling In The Deep’ respectively), Jamie meets Scott Heron’s propensity for pained tension to reanimate the urban soul of dubstep.
Several genres are actually involved here. By a subtle predominance of dubstep tropes, though, and his dexterous movement between genres, Jamie reminds us that he belongs to a generation synchronic to dubstep whose ability to move across decades and styles is so technologically enhanced that there is no staying put anymore. As well as affirming Jamie’s finger-on-the-pulse understanding of dance music (which is already familiar via his DJ sets), the production shares the minimalism of his Mercury-winning band The xx. The result of this combination is that tracks like ‘Your Soul and Mine’, where echoing sounds pan in and out over a beat that sounds like Kode 9, while in the background disembodied, pitched-up vocals seem to signify juke as much as dubstep, and Scott Heron’s deep spoken-voice is looped like a Chicago house chant, are as simplistically elegant as they are stylistically fluent. On ‘Home’ and ‘My Cloud’ Jamie gives Scott Heron’s heartache a delicate Flying Lotus/Mount Kimbie type of treatment. On ‘Home’, his vocals are only discernible enough to convey vaguely something about domestic pain. But between the distracted skipping of the beat and the struggle for Scott Heron’s already strained words to find their way into the mix, there is exactly that tension between stress and escape that I mean.
