Did they or didn't they break up? After swirling rumors of exhaustion and tensions after 1/4 of superpower babies, The XX, departed, much was to be weighed in on the hows and whys of the sudden news. All we can gather is that the 20 year old young'un was spent...after a nonstop touring schedule, it's not hard to imagine why.
But that's not to be focused on, because we are drooling over a blogger fave's new mix of the London troupe's iconic song, Shelter.
Death to the Throne has long been popping up here in Beastonia. And while he is bummed out that he didn't notch into DJ Mag's Top 100 list, that hasn't stopped him from cranking out a major mix, which we might be able to call his personally vendetta'd opus against the results.
He says: "Apparently, I don't make enough "guido" house. If anything, I thought I made too much, but I was wrong. So I made this remix, which sounds like David Guetta having sex with another David Guetta, while being watched by a bunch of David Guettas."
Whether he's being serious or silly, there's one fact that is undeniable.
We are in love with this mix and no list can make us say otherwise.

This mix is good but unfortunately reading that he made a mix to get back at the charts is a turn off. It makes you feel like you're listening to a product, not music.
Get over it. Do you always look into an artist's motives in creating a piece of music before you decide whether or not you like it? If so you have been listening to products, not music, your whole life.
It's a good song you wankers.
ooooo its a product
ooooo i listen to better music
Stick a pinger up your bum and dance.
Cheers
good song? where?
it's a cynical move but one done with intent to gain blog fame/heat. but like 17899 shitty justice edits before it it'll only back fire as it'll just be used as a dj tool by the dumber end of the dj spectrum and DTTT will vanish into obscurity.
check the what kind of breeze do you blow, rory phillips and astronomer mixes for takes on the xx that compliment the band
are you suprise though? this remixer has pretty much only remixed whatever is hot on hype machine, lykke li, MIA etc..
How ignorant can y'all be? DTTT is a talented remixer and does a fabolous job here. I've listened to the 'higher end' of the DJ spectrum (acc. to the recently published top 100) play Guetta...and this is way better.
this song is crap
Something to say?
