Jamie XX FACT Mix

Lots of DJs do frequent mixes, but few seem as prolific as Jamie XX, who has been turning out a memorable collection of songs with great frequency for places such as the BBC (Essential Mix and 6Mix) and the Numbers podcast. Or maybe we just pay more attention to Jamie’s collections because we can always count on a varied and excellent tracklist from the XX beatmaker.

The litest set comes in the form of a 30-minute FACT Mix, which is quite a bit shorter than the two-hour epic Essential Mix that just aired two weeks ago. But it’s still a tight package worth a quick listen.

Jamie XX :: Essential Mix (MP3)

Jamie XX has more or less become a one-man facinating beat brand, pushing out an amalgamation of electronic sounds more eclectic than 100 random club DJs combined. So we’re excited as all get-out to check this two hour mix he did for BBC Radio One’s legendary Essential Mix program (a show that usually isn’t so inventive itself). The mix opens with a classic from Orbital, and then gets deep with interesting gems from Floating Points, James Blake and Jamie’s own reworkings of Gil Scott-Heron and Radiohead.

New Jamie XX :: “Far Nearer” / “Beat For” (MP3)

OK, Jamie XX’s “Far Nearer” has been circulating in one form or another for over a year, but the b-side, “Beat For,” is brand new to these ears, and well worth the wait. The tune is more morose than “Far Nearer’s” almost glitchy tropicalia, which might actually appeal more to Jamie’s day job with The xx (although he’s been on hiatus so long we’re starting to wonder if the threesome is gonna get it together for album #2). …MORE

CREEP – Days (Azari & III Remix) (MP3)

Brooklyn meets Toronto meets the dancefloor. 

Kitsuné is back in a big way; the Parisian music label/clothing line is back with another addition to their signature compilations, #11 aka The Indie-Dance Issue (which is out today). While it has contributions from acts like Beat Connection and Housse De Racket (who are being produced by Cassius’ Philippe Zdar), one of the highlights is a remix of the Brooklyn duo CREEP, whose Young Turks single, “Days” has been revamped by Canadian house specialists Azari & III. Check it out after the jump for the D/L link.
