James Yuill "This is Sweet Love" (Prins Thomas Sneaky Edit) (Moshi Moshi 2008)

James Yuill 'iis a talented English singer/songwriter who just released his debut album Turning Down Water for Air. Usually when I think of edits, I think of older songs getting redone for dancefloor impact, but Thomas picked a recent track he was into and looped the jumpy acoustic guitar riff and soft hi-hat tick until he had an edit that worked. He transformed a gently loping folk song into a breathy minimal techno track just by adding a beat.
