Hear Jamie xx’s Beats 1 Radio Mix
Jamie xx gets played a whole lot on Apple’s Beats 1 Radio; the internet radio station treats him the way most pop radio stations treat Katy Perry. That’s a good thing, especially when it means we get a whole new Jamie xx DJ mix out of it. This past weekend, the same weekend Jamie xx collaborator Drake debuted three new tracks on his own Beats 1 show, Jamie xx played a full hour-long DJ mix on the station. His mix included tracks from his own In Colour album, and Pitchfork points out that it also included music from a few artists we don’t usually hear in mixes from of-the-moment DJs: The War On Drugs, the Doors, the Durutti Column, “I Know There’s Gonna Be (Good Times)” sample source the Persuasions. Listen to the whole mix here.
In Colour is out now on Young Turks.
