It’s been a big few months for Jamie xx and The Avalanches as both share new music in the most perfect warm-up for likely album releases. So it makes sense to catch the two going b2b for NTS Radio as part of Jamie’s monthly residency.

The pair were meant to play a Climate Change fund-raiser dubbed ‘No Coal Zone’ in Sydney in March but was cancelled due to coronavirus safety measures but we get an inkling this when this magical set was recorded.

Those expecting some large club energy may have to look elsewhere with the mix instead boasting careful curation of obscure funk, soul and slappy house. Perfect for a park hang or deep study session.
