I always just experiment with different sounds and styles until I find something that evokes the feeling I'm going for. I'm not trying to think too much about what anyone else is doing. Jamie xx evokeexperimentfelt Change image and share on social
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
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 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

When I buy lots of records, I stop making music - it's detrimental to the creative side. When I'm DJing a lot, it's just basically partying every day. Jamie xx basicallybuycreative Change image and share on social
At festivals, you can go a lot bigger than a club and have massive euphoric moments because there are so many people there all feeling the same thing. Jamie xx bigclubeuphoric Change image and share on social
I'm not going to play gigs as Jamie xx. I'm just going to DJ. I'm not comfortable performing my songs on a stage. It's not something I think I'm particularly good at. Jamie xx comfortablegiggood Change image and share on social
