Holly Miranda - Slow Burn Treason (Jamie xx Edit)

As heard on his BBC Essential Mix from last year.

Jamie XX B2B Caribou

Looks like Boiler Room is the place to be. This got uploaded to their Soundcloud account a couple days ago, although it appears like the real action went down in October '11. I really dig this concept, throwing two dj's together for an hour (in this case 100 minutes) and letting them vibe the crowd out. In this case we get treats from the consistently Plug-able jamie XX and Caribou.

Radiohead - Bloom (Jamiexx Rework Part 3)

So I have been listening to this track (or an early derivation of it) for the last two weeks or so billed as the Jamie xx Club mix.  Granted there are an added three minutes but I think that is due to the fact that it was ripped from a Thom York BBC mix.  Its not necessarily a new track but I am glad that I'll have an mp3 and that I no longer have to listen to the youtube rip that has facebook chat sounds popping up periodically.  Either way, I like this version a lot more than the one on the Tkol remix album.  

Floating Points

Charlie M and Spinner saw Floating Points with me in Berlin in March and Jamie xx performed with him.  We were right up on the table and gotta watch them do surgery.  But Floating points was clearly the superior DJ.  During Jamie's set he often came up and fixed things with his sound or showed him something small.  I was thrown off though because Floating Points has a fraction of the notoriety Jamie XX has accumulated.  Because last week's Essential Mix by Jamie XX has been so popular, here's Floating Point's Essential Mix...

For those of you who aren't familiar with Essential Mixes, then catch up. Jamie xx absolutely kills it with this one.  Tracklist after the jump.

Maxwell D - Gone Away (Jamie xx remix)

At about the time "Far Nearer" officially dropped, Diplo tweeted something like "This dude Jamie must be from Trinidad, he fucks with the steel drum heavy." This was obviously true at the time. But the more I listen to his music, the more I realize this man is real tropical with it. Peep this track above released in January and consider his style.

Jamie XX finally drops "Far Nearer"

The Gods have been bumpin this since February... but Jamie released it officially just now. In case you haven't heard, grab your boom box and cocaine and get to a beach quick... then press play.  Steel drums cousin.
