When I go in the studio, I put myself into a place where I'm feeling something I want to portray, which is often being sad, lonely. But as soon as I'm starting to make something, it's when I'm the happiest. Ever. I think that comes out at the same time, so there's that juxtaposition.

I think Young Thug has such a weird style I love, especially the things he does with his voice. It just sounds different. Jamie xx lovesoundstyle Change image and share on social
I'm used to making songs; that's how I learned to make music. My structures will always be more like pop songs than dance tracks. Jamie xx dancelearnmake Change image and share on social
People always think the xx are, like, moody and all dressed in black. We do all dress in black, but we're actually quite fun people - and we've come out of our shells a lot since the first album. Jamie xx albumblackdress Change image and share on social
I'm a mess. My house is full of records, and my computer... I can't find the things that I want. But it usually seems to work out. Jamie xx computerfindfull Change image and share on social
It's still as exciting to play records I've not heard before as it was when I was young. There's not much that makes me feel like that besides making music. And they definitely feed into each other. Jamie xx excitfeedfeel Change image and share on social
I can't imagine doing a DJ set and playing all my own stuff; it'd just be awkward. Jamie xx awkwardimagineplay Change image and share on social
I just like the lineage and the heritage and the fact that British dance music is still progressing. I'm from London; I love London, and I wouldn't know how else to show that love in musical terms. There's something about British stuff that's a bit faster, a bit harder-hitting. Just tough. Jamie xx bitebritishdance share on social
All music is escapism for me, but I like the way that, on a good night, that sense of escapism can be shared. Jamie xx escapismgoodmusic Change image and share on social
For some producers who are technical-minded, making the song sound good is easy, and getting the emotion into the song is harder. Jamie xx easyemotiongood Change image and share on social
