The xx   FACT mix (+ Heart Skipped A Beat / Basic Space) stream music
Intriguing Brits, The xx and their single, “Crystalised” have become a summer mainstay on my iPod. Amazingly enough, The xx hooked up with FACT Magazine for their periodic FACT mixes. This one is particularly special because it marks the 70th mix FACT has commissioned over the years.

Here’s what FACT has to say: “Mixed by Jamie, who produces as well as playing in the band, The xx’s FACT mix features CocoRosie, Sticky and Ms Dynamite, Four Tet, Zomby, Burial and plenty of the band’s songs alongside exclusive Jamie xx edits and solo material.”

Here’s the tracklist:
Ytinifni – Jamie xx
Hot Like Fire (Jamie xx edit) – The xx
Sub Island – Skream
Wolf Cub – Fourtet/Burial
Test Me For A Reason – Zomby
Booo! – Sticky feat. Ms Dynamite
Blood Red Moon (Jamie xx Bootleg) – The xx
Raphael – CocoRosie
Young Rabbits – The Crusaders
Stardance – John Forde
Blindfolded – Theophilus London
Skips A Beat – Mayana
Heart Skipped A Beat – The xx
Basic Space (Jamie xx Space Bass Mix) – The xx
