The Kills mixtape from the house of jj has been kicking round since Xmas Eve last year. The Swedish duo cut-up familiar samples and songs, adding their Balearic R&B finesse. Like other outstanding mixtapes of this season (MIA's Vicki Leekx, Polo Club's Don't Believe The Hyper Colour), it's remained close at hand/ear. And the track that's most returned to is 'Believe'. On 'Believe', jj Auto-Tune the US urban diva Nicki Minaj from a radio interview where she finally broke her silence about her beef with Lil Kim. Not only do jj make a bitchy swipe sound sweet (similar to how they made dirty party anthem 'Birthday Sex' sound like a love song when they covered it) but right at the end they slip in a wonky snippet from Abba's 1981 disco 12" 'Lay All Your Love On Me'. Class.
