When Jamie XX transitioned from his take on Gil Scott-Heron's "New Here" into Ruff Sqwad's "XTC Instrumental" a minute into his mix on Mistajam's BCC 1xtra show, we don't think anyone was expecting or really prepared for the massive grime torrent he was rolling out. Phat, phat, phat instrumentals and vocal tracks from YGC, DaVinche, Wiley, Kano and Dizzee Rascal, including a nod to fellow FADER cover boy James Blake with his Big Boi remix. So happy this exists, so sad it's not up for download. Throw this on the iPod and we'd go lunch break treadmill crazy. Tracklist below the stream.
