Description

We’re winding out 2024 with a beautiful Take 5. 

Jamie xx is one of my favourite producers, so it’s really special to cap off what’s been a big year, with the man himself. Looking back the last couple of years, the final Take 5 has been really reflective. Caroline Polachek was poetic at the end of a huge 2023, and he year before Jon Hopkins gifted us a transcendent set of songs. All three artists came to that conversation at the top of their game, but with a wisdom and calm that comes with age, with experience, and freedom.

For Jamie, I asked him to choose songs of surrender. He embraced the theme and then some, and his songs confirmed why music is such a beautiful language for him. From vintage surf movies, to legendary Brazilian music, deep house cuts and Jonathan Richman, this is a beautiful meditation on life, and a life in sound.

  • G. Wayne Thomas – Morning of the Earth 
  • Phillip Glass – The Grid 
  • Milton Nascimento – Um Gosto De Sol 
  • Marshall Jefferson vs. Noosa Heads – Mushrooms (Justin Martin remix) 
  • Jonathan Richman & the Modern Lovers – The Morning Of Our Lives
