For those of you who don’t know, Radio 1’s Essential Mix is a world-renowned weekly broadcast that features every style of electronic dance music. Two weeks ago Jamie xx (of The xx) threw down a superb set and solidified a surprisingly top mark in my books. Two hours of beautiful Essential that starts with Orbital’s ‘Belfast’ and continues with tracks from James Blake, Floating Points and Fantasitc Mr. Fox which took me on a gentle voyage through purple oceans and floating trees. It culminates together perfectly with Jamie’s Radiohead remix of ‘Bloom’.
