Djamba Posted February 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Jamie xx On James Blake - 31 Jan 2011 | Clash Music Latest Breaking Music NewsJamie xx has spoken of his admiration for producers such as acclaimed dubstep star James Blake.Deeply involved with the production of The xx, Jamie Smith recently stepped out of the shadow of the London band. Working on his own material, the producer has pushed his way to the forefront of British dance music.Several stunning remixes, a one off release on Numbers and a project with Gil Scott Heron followed. In a recent interview with ClashMusic James Blake admitted an admiration for the producer, claiming that they were coming from the same space.Now it seems that the feeling is mutual. Speaking to Pitchfork Jamie xx continued the love-in, with the producer revealing his thoughts of emerging electronic music."That's what's going on in London still" he explained. "James is basically a contemporary, along with people like Mount Kimbie, Ramadanman, Pearson Sound, Joy Orbison. We all end up on a lot of the same bills together in London, and you get to know each other. There are a lot of producers in Brixton, where I just moved, so it's sort of a community."Working on a series of solo projects, Jamie Smith also claimed that his experiences with dance music could inform the second album by The xx. Continuing, the producer explained that the new material would be "different" from their debut."I think it will definitely sound different than the last album and anything I've ever done, just because our ears have been opened to so much music" he said."Two years ago, I wouldn't have dreamed of listening to most of the stuff I listen to now. Like, I wasn't interested in techno and house at all before but, when I was in Chicago, I bought a bunch of Dance Mania records from the 80s and 90s, and I've listened to a lot of that."Jamie xx and Gil Scott Heron are due to release 'We're New Here' on February 21st.
