Last weekend in shitty, rainy Miami, Jamie xx and John Talabot played back to back at Young Turks’ washed-out beach party. No one danced, and nobody had fun.
Seriously though, who the hell are we kidding? While our UK office – and most of you readers – were stuck in our drizzly hometown this weekend, these guys were having all the fun. Still, at least you can now listen to that Jamie xx / John Talabot set, which is full of the sort of slow house, disco and piano riffs that compliment a poolside daiquiri like cheese does wine.
Stream the set over at Dazed, and read FACT’s recent interview with Jamie xx, where he talks about plans for his new EP, African music, collaborating with big name pop artists and the xx-curated Night + Day festival here.
