Top 20(11): 11. Jamie XX – Far Nearer
It was a crazy year for Jamie XX. And for Numbers. This post is a celebration of both.
Jamie XX had a supreme year, releasing his rework of legendary Gil Scott Heron’s album I’m New Here (God have his soul). ‘NY Is Killing Me’ was certainly killing all dancefloors. And Drake used I’ll Take Care Of You in his new single.
Numbers is a fairly young label (started in 2010), but it’s already on the forefront of electronic music. With releases of Mosca (Bax ended nr.2 in Fact Magazine’s top 50 tracks of 2011), Deadboy and Redinho, Numbers is certainly to watch in 2012.
