For me it's the mix, mostly. But of course it's also the sound selection and the playful sequencing. But a lot of people put their hand to the latter, while it's the former that truly elevates the entire approach and reveals a chaotic yet extremely palatable presentation. And it's that resulting dissonance that reveals an almost euphoric contradiction that makes my brain giggle with delight.
As a man of 56 and almost 57 this tune reminds me of "pre-social media" dance music. Back then, what happened in the club STAYED in the club. Jamie's tune is slightly too urgent in delivery for me but those buttons were pressed, as it were. I'm glad I'm not young anymore and if you still are then make the most of it: you're here for a good time, not a long time!
This was my immediate thought too! It's a little different than your typical afrobeat, but very much in line with that specific south african twist on it with the snare rhythm. Do you know if that south african beat has a specific name? my cursory google searches haven't turned up anything
I just got chills listening to this song! Idk how to explain it but Jamie xx feels like a friend and when I played this song I got so freaking pumped for my boy! I was jumping up and down in my car so stoked, yelling “let’s go!” While listening to this song haha
Ron, to that feeling, I'd say listen to some Amapiano or Kwaito. Your life will never be the same...and would also see where Jamie got his inspiration from 🤗
Not to burst your bubble but this was for a Chanel campaign (hence the logos on the tape) but at least it seems he’s broken through the creative block that held him back over the last few years
This is the 76th time in a row I listen to this gem like the turns in the digital counter displayed in the cassette. What a combination of different sounds mixed with a majesty touch. Good way to start this 2024. Cheers mate
I love this track. Listened to it last week whilst designing my City, doing my art work and re-editing my book. Perfect beat for mixed mindsets and relaxation.
Yesssssaaa!!❤️☝️😆💥 Listening from my phone on a very cold and early morning in Ontario, Canada...can't wait to blast this in my car on the way to work!! 💥👊💥👊💥
such a welcoming sampling for 2024!! clean, crisp, textured, eclectic and distinctive palette!!! it's a bright light piercing thru the clouds. love it!!! great job!!!
@@hospagaliefAll of his music is a mish mash of styles. The thing is he does it so well that it never sounds like a pastiche or poor imitation, more like he's pulling from a variety of styles that he is a fan of. House, ragga, UK breakbeat, amapiano and more. It's like a distillation of the music styles that have been heard in UK clubs of the past 3 decades. His tracks are varied in style and influence yet they always have a clubby vibe and his beats are always on point. I think he's a great producer.
Classic sounds mixed into something "new". Its like 90's piano mixed with drum and bass and both old-school and new-school house. Not to "cheesy" either.
The only bad part of this song is when it ends, I had a great time listening to this song for the first time and that's definitely not going to be the last.

I need an album right now! I've been anticipating a full length release for a long time! No one does it like Jamie xx, no matter what. ⚜
In Colours is still a weekly sometimes daily play
agreed @@Princesspandapop
Amen
This track won't be on the album
In Waves 🎉
Genuinely, I cannot explain what it is about Jamie XX's music, but it just makes me feel like I can take on the world.

its so good
I can't explain it either, but I feel the exact same way
That explains it quite well. Well done@@eafortson

please don't disappear for another 2 years, the world needs another album!
Especially in those times we live in. Its a light in the darkness
New album was supposedly getting the `finishing touches applied` more than a year ago (NME)
@@chrism2567 good thingst take time bro. Were not machines like you wish
New album coming out in september!!!

feel you on the 'too urgent' - well said
such a good comment!
another fart sniffer!
Brilliant words!
sounds to me like a nice mixture of moderat/apparat meets 90’s dance anthem. would love to hear it in a context of an album.
Totally hear apparat and moderat in this, that choppy broken up sound. Jamie seems to employ that quite a bit in his music
Dude totally bit south African amapiano house, tho I dig it a lot😂
modeselektor + apparat = moderat
@@glebpetrov7594 Thank you, I actually didn't know this.
100%
Your use of samples is always so unique. They don't have to be particularly long or repetitive, yet you still find a way to make them memorable.
This man GETS IT. Jamie’s songs take on a life of their own. The subtleties and nuances don’t go unnoticed, here or ever.
Enlightened cat.
I'm so glad the future of electronic music is in safe hands. Magnificent tune
Bro dropped 5 tracks in 1. Classic.
3:09 I thought he changed tempo but NO. He brought it back syncopated 😩
This is quite the voyage. Takes turns you’re not expecting. In a very satisfying way.
Best efootball music ❤
What a blast! Creative, surprising, multi-layered, a masterpiece painting turned into sound! Thank you Jamie!!!
Jamie xx has never missed. Been listening since he was the genius behind the production in a great indie group when I was a kid
This is South African music meets Jamie xx. I love the beats! Honestly.
It is haha, very Africa Nigerian South Africa or w/e
This was my immediate thought too! It's a little different than your typical afrobeat, but very much in line with that specific south african twist on it with the snare rhythm.
Do you know if that south african beat has a specific name? my cursory google searches haven't turned up anything
@@JoshDauer riiiight?? Glad that it is not just me hearing it.
@@JoshDauer The SA genre called ''Gqom''.
I just got chills listening to this song! Idk how to explain it but Jamie xx feels like a friend and when I played this song I got so freaking pumped for my boy! I was jumping up and down in my car so stoked, yelling “let’s go!” While listening to this song haha
Was blasting away at xx lastnight and started wishing he had a new song song then wake up to this. Love it.
Ok mate.... Then wish for a frigging new album tonight... Let's hope for the best... I'll keep watching my notifications 😉🤪
And please make sure you are dreaming about Jamie new album AND The XX new LP as well 😁
Please drop an album this year, my life literally hasn't been the same 2015.
It makes me so happy that people like yourself are out there making music like this in todays horrible world.
dont be so pessimistic Ron its ok
Take your precious life, heal yourself and you will naturally heal others. remember you dont have power on things outside of your control
Imagine few centuries before, you're lucky you're here now ^^
Ron, to that feeling, I'd say listen to some Amapiano or Kwaito. Your life will never be the same...and would also see where Jamie got his inspiration from 🤗
It's not the world the issue it's the people that make it horrible, without people the world will keep spinning around the sun but peaceful.
Those trumpets though, fire!!!
Reminds me of "Meute" (a german marching band that plays electronic music on wind instruments) in the beginning.
To me this a total Meute track.
Great sound. I like this simplicity and multi-structure at the same time.
His best track! Masterpiece of electronic music!
New album drop whennnnnn ❤❤❤
My king is back. Jamie XX is here to save us
Fair dose of South African house in there. I'm loving it so much.
100%
I lived as a musician and ended up failing. This person is one of the few geniuses who still inspires me.
SO GOOD!!
nah man dont give up
keep going man! theres no such thing as failed artist. as long as you make art u are contributing a lot!
You dared to live it, you didn’t fail!
You haven’t ended your journey yet
Can't wait for the new album...you sting out the releases and then can't stop playing them...genius!

@@mach1nefan well aware and likely to be more on the way
As opposed to the smell of a turned-off fog machine? Interesting.
Hopefully this isn't the only thing jamie releases in 2024😢
This is the 76th time in a row I listen to this gem like the turns in the digital counter displayed in the cassette. What a combination of different sounds mixed with a majesty touch. Good way to start this 2024. Cheers mate
this is jamie xx at his best here. latin percussion mixed with classic piano house vibes. delightful song.
The breakdown at 3:17 is my favourite part. Playee it for my mates today and they all love it
That shift has blown my mind
Dude totally bit south African amapiano house, tho I dig it a lot😂
very special sounds, that just touch this synapses in a way that little manages to these days!
I love this track. Listened to it last week whilst designing my City, doing my art work and re-editing my book. Perfect beat for mixed mindsets and relaxation.

Listen to Omunye by Destruction Boys...the drop reminds me of this song! Afrobeats by Jamie xx
This is Legendary That Drop at 3:13 is Crazy 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Love it! Did I hear some brazilian funk vibes on this song?
Biggest banger I've heard 2024.💙👏
New Jamie XX!! We must have been good boys and girls this year. This needs to happen more frequently.
omg. the use of that sample is so freaking classy. its that icecream chick? just love it
He's back great track
I can already feel the special edition vinyl in my hands
Your not allowed.
This is ART!
Amazing new track. Thank you so much for coming back
So good, can't wait for the album.
Absolute musicality genius right here 🙌🏼👌🏼 wowzers
A perfect tune to mashup with The XX - Intro
Haven't clubbed in ages but I'd love to dance to this surrounded by semi darkness, strangers and smell of a turned on fog machine.
Yes - agreed! - And it has to be a fog machine in a state of arousal, otherwise it does nothing for me.
Finally someone else who likes the smell of fog machines
Smoke machines take me back, I do say

The title says it all, Jamie doesn't miss! Just waiting on that next album 👀
Jamie xx been part of my life for so long is surreal
From listening to Intro (the xx) for the very first time when it was fresh to now. So grateful for it all.
Like escaping this burning world to another reality. Fantastic yourney. Masterpiece Jamie
I just about blew my knee out dancing to this in my kitchen. By myself. In the dark. So good! Rewind
This is so good, that's not even fair
Let’s start the day with these beat, its so good 😉
Crazy sample of PinkyDoll, Jamie xx back at it!
I thought it was the corn kid at first lol
@@SadNachos omg you made me doubt, did not even think about it!
I'm so addicted to oh my gosh and the behind the scenes. Glad he's still making bangers in his way
fav efootball sound track!!!!!
💥💥💥💥💥another banger jamie xx track that will spend a decade on every playlist of mine. It’s so good

So fresh and such a timepiece
Listening to this whilst watching the snooker... big improvement!!
Love and play! Dude this is gonna hit S.A like a hurricane
This song feels very mechanical, and I love it!
It really is so good!
Jamie xx's tracks are the few where the maker is in the music you feel the emotion its almost a conversation and I often can relate on a musical level
Jamie XX always delivering the goods 🔥🔥🔥
jamie doesnt miss
