Building on the success of April’s acclaimed ‘LET’S DO IT AGAIN‘ single – his first new music in over two years – Jamie xx quickly returns with a brand new single. Premiered as BBC Radio 1‘s Clara Amfo’s “Hottest Record In The World“, ‘KILL DEM‘ was created with Notting Hill Carnival in mind, inspired by the energy of the parties and sound systems Jamie experienced there since first attending as a teenager.
This August, he was honoured to DJ at Carnival for the first time, joining Shy FX’s iconic Digital Soundboy stage and getting the chance to play ‘KILL DEM‘ in the place that inspired it.
Meanwhile, Jamie xx received widespread acclaim for his production work on his The xx bandmate Oliver Sim’s Hideous Bastard debut solo album. Described by The Sunday Times as “brave, beautiful and affirming” and The Guardian as “genius”, the album was released on 9th September via Young.
