ADELE - ROLLING IN THE DEEP (JAMIE XX RESHUFFLE)
http://stereogum.com/637331/remixtape-vol-i/mp3s/
Jamie from the XX once again puts his remixer hat on and adds to his dazzling array of reworkings with this mess-around of Adele's most recent single. It's not quite up there with his unbelievable remix of Florence & The Machine - You Got the Love but the minimalist electronica additions to the bluesy, ballsy original make for a rather brilliant listen. Also available at the link above is an entire album of recent remixes collected by Stereogum, including Mogwai re-imagining Yuck's Rubber and Diplo's remix of Sleigh Bells' fantastic Tell 'Em.
JACK RUNDELL - SMALLEST KID IN SCHOOL

Ipswich singer-songwriter Jack Rundell is nice enough to make pretty much everything he wrote from 2005-2009 up on his website to download for free. My favourite of his songs, which tend to channel the spirits of Adam Green, The Holy Modal Rounders and The White Stripes to make a brilliantly quirky anti-folk-punk-rock racket, is Smallest Kid in School. The song is a tale of befriending, and feigning affection for, a weirdo so as to get to drive his awesome car.
MOBY - SEVASTOPOL

Moby is back with his own unique brand of chin-stroking, radio friendly vegan techno music in the form of the Be The One EP, available to download all over the place. Whilst, in these days where we have things such as MGMT and Holy Ghost!, this may seem to be rather less relevant than when Moby was first becoming something of an icon there is still something equally soothing and challenging about Sevastopol as it beeps and boops and soars in equal measures.
