Jamie xx Remixes BBC Newsnight Theme and Gil Scott-Heron

By Tim Cashmere
Sun, 20 Feb 2011 14:47:47 +1100

The theme to the BBC news program ‘Newsnight’, which airs at 10:30pm weeknights, has had an overhaul by Jamie xx, who has been on a remixing rampage of late.

The remix doesn’t chance the crux of the song much. The epic horn section is still there, but a little bit of reverb is added and a cool beat.

Have a listen to it here:



In other Jamie xx remix news, the remixed version of his collaborative album with Gil Scott-Heron hit stores this week. It goes by the name of ‘We’re New Here’ and consists of remixes of Scott-Heron’s first studio album in sixteen years, ‘I’m New Here’ from last year. A word from the wise, the remixed version is filled with beats that will leave your brain frantically trying to make sense of the sensation it is hearing.

    A note from the band: " Today we are debuting a video for a song we did not write. 'We Almost Lost Detroit' began as a homage to one of the great artists of our time, Gil Scott Heron. Ever since we formed as a band roughly two years ago, we've drawn a very high level of inspiration from this song. So much so that we felt compelled to record our own version, and put it on our first ever full-length album last year."
