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
