Jamie xx reups his cover of Rui Da Silva's "Touch Me" (without vocals)

Jamie xx

Just about a year ago, Jamie xx and Scottish DJ Yasmin released their cover of Rui Da Silva's track "Touch Me". Now the xx member has re-premiered the track (sans Yasim's vocals) while guest-hosting on Australia’s 94.5 FBi Radio. Jamie's take on “Touch Me” is sparse but complex, made up almost entirely of various percussive tracks with a few brief vocal interludes.

After that Young Turks played the new “I Think Of You” remix by Jamie’s bandmate, Romy xx. "I Think Of You" is a slow love-song driven by Romy’s melancholy vocals. Listen to the whole program below, these songs come in around the 49-minute mark.
