Jamie, Giorgio, Diplo & HudMo: How To Know Which Big Summer Dance Album Is For You

Jamie xx — In Colour

Who should listen to this? In general, Jamie xx’s work is usually listened to by guys with floppy hair, wearing Ray Ban Clubmasters and dark, short-sleeve oxford shirts buttoned all the way to the top. So basically, Jamie xx’s target audience is Jamie xx. And that’s fine! But these are people who have commenter accounts on Resident Advisor, just as like a status thing, and never use them, and are the second wave to move into a transitioning neighborhood, right before it gets fully gentrified, but after it’s been written about in the New York Times. They throw around references to UK-Garage DJs they’ve never really listened to before, and lament the fact that the word “dubstep” got co-opted in America to describe music that sounds nothing like Burial. They went to Bard.

Where should they listen to this? But seriously this is brunch music. Saturday brunch music. At Tandem in Bushwick, probably, but it could be somewhere much quieter, on an outdoor patio that features a small group of people standing awkwardly inside of the door waiting for the very flustered waitress to clear off the plates from the four goddamn tables that are currently open.

What should they be doing? Drinking bottomless mimosas, discussing the latest feature in Dazed, and fingering their favorite vintage coke vial between their fingers under the table, debating if the single, unisex bathroom attached to the courtyard will provide them with enough privacy.
