a special tribute


o hai there.

terribly sorry i didn't notice you; i was just moving to another country and such.

my love for jamie xx is far from a secret at this point; on several occasions i have expressed my considerable enjoyment of his remix work and his groundbreaking collaboration with the late gil scott-heron, and the xx is and shall remain one of my favourite low-key albums in the whole universe. like any good producer, his releases are few and far between - he seems to have mastered the art of pacing, and i feel like i've had a chance to thoroughly process almost everything he's put out there, as opposed to gobbling it up too fast or losing interest, as i am prone to do with artists who go AWOL.

while i wait eagerly for whatever it is that he has to offer next, this BBC essential mix is just lovely - a full hour plus of carefully selected and tailored tracks that do to my ears almost what his original work is capable of. pro tip - if you really want it, it is certainly possible to find a downloadable copy of this online, should you look carefully enough.
