You know XXXChange’s production and remix work for Spank Rock, Amanda Blank, Santigold, Thom Yorke, Daedelus, Wiley and many more so it’s good news then that Shock and Transmission have teamed up to bring him over for his first ever Irish date on Saturday June 27th in The Button Factory. Sample some Alex XXXChange tunes after the jump.
Also, did y’all hear FEVER RAY is playing Oxegen? Crazy stuff..
Amanda Blank – Might Like You Better
Santogold – LES Artistes (XXXchange Mix ft Movado)
Thom Yorke – The Eraser (XXXChange mix)
Unreleased/rejected remix. See XXXChange’s full explanation. It includes this:
“the Atlantic team love the direction you took it in, but as a remix… they feel that there are to many “feelings” aka “moods” to keep the average dance floor patron interested and remembering the song, they would like for you to remove some of the diversity (imagine that) and keep it a straight dance floor song”
The Virgins – Rich Girls (XXXChange mix)
Another unreleased remix:
Beck – Nauseau (XXXChange mix) (Divshare)

Damn! Fever Ray at Oxegen. Yet another stolen from EP. Fingers crossed they come back for Stradbaly September.
Obviously I meant first ever Irish solo gig being a prolific producer/ Dj in his own right.
Yeah, Shut up Thomas.
