I'm a big fan of The XX and would categorize their sound as very dark, gloomy, and romantic. I can't quite compare them to any other bands out there at the moment, which makes them that much more enjoyable and great to listen too. On this Turbo release their song "Shelter" gets a proper remix from Turbo Recordings founder (and one of my idols), Tiga. From electroclash, to electro house, and even dark techno, regardless of what direction he takes a song, Tiga always manages to put his original and unique twist on things. The combination of The XX and Tiga, has given this tune a bit of a trip hop feel to it, very reminiscent of Portis Head and 90s Sneaker Pimps. I can definitely see it on the same play list as those bands. This track is full of emotion and can be categorized as a break up song or love song alike. Soothing meets dismal at the same time, I love it.
