Jamie XX - SeeSaw (Feat. Romy) (Nic Fanciulli Remix)
A deep, dark and twisting remix of Jamie XX and Romy's 'Seesaw', which comes courtesy of Saved Records boss Nic Fanciulli. Love the originally, and really, really like this.
Jamie xx - All Under One Roof Raving
A bit late on this one, but some tracks are too good not to post. Premiered as a special delivery on Annie Mac's Radio 1 show last Friday night, the legend that is Jamie xx comes through with a brand new piece of music set for release on Young Turks on August 11th. The track, entitled 'All Under One Roof Raving', samples Mark Leckey’s 1999 short film, “Fiorucci Made Me Hardcore”, features plenty of Jamie xx's signature steel drums and was created as an ode to UK rave culture. Real music.
Jamie xx - Untitled (Unreleased)
Ripped from his 'Live at Night + Day Berlin' mix, presented by RBMA Radio, here is a new piece of music from the wonderful Jamie XX. No word on a title, release date or what this is, but whatever it is, it is great and very much welcomed. Beautiful, as always.

The XX - Sunset (Jamie XX Edit)
Jamie XX takes one of my favourite tracks from The XX's sophmore album and gives it a subtle injection of Dance. This guy's work rate is second to none, and what he produces is never short of wonderful. Get it HERE.
The xx - Sunset
'Sunset' is my favourite track from 'Coexist', which is the highly anticipated sophmore album by The xx and is set to be released September 10th on Young Turks. The album is once again produced entirely by Jamie Smith, and the progression in his (and the band's) style is evident from the outset, with an even more mature and thought-provoking sound than we heard on their critically acclaimed self-titled debut. Love the House vibe on this particular track - pre-order HERE.
Rebecca Ferguson - I'll Take Care Of U (Gil Scott-Heron x Jamie XX Cover)
Whilst on her current UK tour, X-Factor runner-up Rebecca Ferguson has been performing a cover of 'I'll Take Care Of U', which is taken from Gil Scott-Heron & Jamie XX's collaborative album 'We're New Here'. The YouTube version says that it's a cover of Drake & Rihanna's version, but Drake's verses are nowhere to be heard, and I have a feeling that Miss Ferguson knows enough about music to pay tribute to the late Gil Scott. Either way, it's sick, and she is still to play another 15 dates, including London’s Theatre Royal on March 13th before ending up at Liverpool’s Echo Arena on March 17th.
Drake - Take Care (DJ Cable Edit)
The ever impressive DJ Cable comes through with a spinna friendly edit of Drake's latest single, Take Care, which features Rihanna and samples Gil-Scott Heron/Jamie XX.
"As you know, the ladies love that “Take Care” joint, but in all honesty it’s a bit too mellow; especially when it comes to dropping it in the middle of a set.
I’ve basically added some 808s and the Think break, sped up the tempo a little bit, and given the arrangement a quick shuffle. The tune ends on a loop of the Gil Scott-Heron sample.
The end result is a slightly beefed up version, with a DJ friendly intro."
Jamie XX - Far Nearer
Here is Jamie XX's debut single on Numbers - he has stayed true to his roots, being as unique as ever, making the slightly bizarre vocals work perfectly with the steel drum infused beat. You can listen to the track below and then get your copy from Numbers. This young man is what is commonly known as a genius.
