As the first post from our new location SPAM has decided to post on one of London's hippest artists: Jamie xx. You're probably familiar with Jamie at this point, he's the British producer, DJ, and The xx band member responsible for Adele's Rolling in the Deep Remix. And of course his remixing of Gil Scott Heron's I'm New Here with the haunting refixes of NY is Killing Me.
Round about this time last year Jamie and his band mates from The xx were celebrating their Mercury Prize for best British artist. Now Jamie is working mostly on his mixing and DJing for BBC et al.
A more recent mix he made for Fact Magazine is ethereal and dark with some recognizable bits and a lot of cool stuff in between. Hear the Fact Mix here.
This is his newest track called Far Nearer
jamie xx - far nearer
Here's his BBC Essential Mix
