Congratulations to The XX who’ve been shortlisted for a Barclaycard Mercury Prize in the album of the year category. In case you haven’t heard it before here’s the official Dark Sky remix the Pictures record label set up:

Jamie Smith from The xx dropped a mix for Colette a while back, featuring the track. Head over to the Colette store and buy a limited edition mix CD, or visit Abeano to stream the mix.  Look out for Jamie XX‘s Exept project too, we’ve heard one track and it’s magical stuff bridging the gap between club music and a more raw live sound. We’re very very excited about his future releases.
