The release of his second LP, In Waves, in 2024, followed by the album’s deluxe release this year, has helped build and sustain momentum – with heavier production, riveting bass lines, and a renewed energy across the industry. Jamie xx’s solo debut, In Colour (one of Atwood’s favorite albums from 2015), marked a significant shift in the vibrancy of dance floors worldwide, earning him widespread acclaim. Featuring grooves such as “Gosh” and collaborating with bandmates from The xx, Romy and Oliver Sim in “Loud Places (ft. Romy),” he has painted the scene with his distinctive palette and reverent proficiency.

I saw a dream last night.
Bright like a falling star
And the sources of light
I thought I was in flight
Out where the planets are
Moving between day and night
Day and night

Jamie xx invites listeners to close their eyes as the inner experience unfolds through time and space. “Dream Night” opens with a steady, muted kick that gradually shapes the rhythm and feels deeply revitalizing. As the beat expands, listeners become aware of a mental dimension – a sphere shaped by saturated low ends and hypnotic repetition. The electronic melody embodies a glowing spirit, inviting listeners to tune inward and foster an internal warmth.

I’m so grateful for it all and I wanted to share that and hopefully create some more dreamy moments with this song.”
