JAMIE XX

A forward-thinking beatmaker and producer, Jamie xx helped shape the sound of the late 2000s and beyond with his Mercury Music Prize-winning group the xx and on his own. The subtle blend of indie, R&B, and dance he crafted with the xx made him a sought-after remixer for artists such as Adele, Florence + the Machine, and Gil Scott-Heron, as on 2011’s boundary-breaking We’re New Here. As a solo artist, Jamie xx tempered the restraint of his other work with his reverence for dance music’s power to move bodies and hearts. On singles like 2014’s ‘Under One Roof Raving’ and 2015’s full-length In Colour, his artful blend of the kinetic and the atmospheric was equally innovative and evocative. With 2020’s hard-edged ‘Idontknow’ and 2022’s festival-ready ‘Let’s Do It Again’, he proved his music was continuing to evolve.

 

Jamie xx continues to work on the follow up to his GRAMMY, Mercury Music Prize and Brit Awards nominated debut album, In Colour. He also continues to collaborate with fellow The xx member Oliver Sim, producing his debut single ‘Romance With A Memory’ and the recent follow up ‘Fruit’.
