Editor's note

Jamie xx builds spacious electronic soundscapes.

The xx member's solo work explores atmospheric house and techno textures.

For the full picture, start with 'Loud Places' featuring Romy, then let 'Idontknow' show where his solo sound goes when it gets restless.

Jamie xx's music creates immersive worlds where rhythm and space carry equal weight. Tracks like 'Stranger In A Room' and 'Gosh' build patiently, letting beats breathe within expansive arrangements. His work feels both club-ready and deeply introspective, a balance that's become his signature.

He first emerged as part of The xx in 2009, then launched his solo project with 'In Colour' in 2015. Since then, albums like 'Sleep Sound' and 'Only Human' have continued his exploration of atmospheric electronics, often featuring collaborations with bandmate Romy Madley Croft.

Archive material and source history

Jamie xx is the solo project of Jamie Smith, who first became known as a member of the electronic trio The xx. That band's self-titled debut album arrived in 2009. As Jamie xx, he released his first solo album, 'In Colour,' in 2015. It included collaborations with Young Thug and his bandmate Romy Madley Croft.

His work as Jamie xx tends toward atmospheric electronics, with tracks like 'Gosh' and 'Far Nearer' building spacious soundscapes over house and techno rhythms. He followed 'In Colour' with the albums 'Sleep Sound' in 2019 and 'Only Human' in 2020, continuing to explore those textures.

In 2017, his decision to perform in Israel drew criticism and sparked discussion about artists engaging with political conflicts. His music remains largely introspective and beat-driven, as heard on songs such as 'Idontknow' and 'Stranger In A Room.'
