Jamie XX at MoMA & LPR

Over the past few months I’ve been getting more and more into The XX band-member Jamie Smith’s solo project, Jamie XX.  I love the chilled out, often chopped-up garage sound Jamie brings, and his attention to detail is up there with the best of them.  Check out some of my favorites from him below.

Lucky for us, Jamie XX will be playing 2 shows this Saturday, one at MoMA, one at Le Poisson Rouge (ticket links can be found on the right).  I will most likely be attending the MoMA show because I’ve heard it’s a great venue for a daytime show, but both are sure to be a good time.

One of my most played tracks recently:

As if you haven’t heard enough remixes of Adele, here’s one more (there's also a version featuring Childish Gambino, if thats what you're into):

Another one of my favorites, a cover of Florence + the Machine that features the rest of The XX:

And be sure to keep an eye out for the new The XX album, Coexist, coming out Sept. 11.

MoMA PS1 Tickets On Sale

For anyone that was interested in the huge variety of artists playing at MoMA PS1 in Long Island City this year, tickets are on sale now here. This is supposed to be one of the best annual summer concert series so definitely check it out. Some of the groups that we recommend are Jamie XX, Matthew Dear, Atoms for Peace, Jacques Greene, and Rustie. Tickets are only $15 so it is quite the deal for seeing about 4 DJ's/artists per show. I will post all of the separate links by show on the right hand side once I get a little time but the link above has every show available. The full schedule is after the jump in case you forgot.
