Reconsider – The XX (Exempt & Henry Green Rework) [SKIDS Remix]

Stockholm may be more than a stone’s throw away from the tropics, but that hasn’t stopped Scandinavian Oscar Harlaut, the producer behind SKIDS, from trying to make a splash in the tropic-house scene. Now, I’ve ranted before about how monotonous the genre has become since Kygo caught fire last year. At least it makes it that much more exciting when I come across something unique and polished, and SKIDS’ take on Reconsider definitely fits that bill. It’s a remix, of a cover, of a The XX song. As much as this track is an example of the talent SKIDS has to offer, it’s a testament to some real songwriting prowess from The XX — if your original work can be reinterpreted through so many different stages of genres and artists, and still sound amazing, then you’ve really got something.
