SOLOMUN REMIXES JAMIE XX’S “WAITED ALL NIGHT”

Dance music titan Solomun releases two highly-anticipated remixes of Jamie xx’s Waited All Night – a standout track from his acclaimed 2024 album In Waves. The song marked the first time Jamie had reunited with his The xx bandmates Romy Madley Croft and Oliver Sim on record since the group’s 2017 album I See You, and has since become a live highlight at Glastonbury, Jamie’s own LIDO festival and beyond.

Solomun’s reworks have been the subject of intense fan speculation for months, after both artists teased them in their DJ sets. Known for his influential Solomun +1 Ibiza residency at Pacha, his Diynamic label, and headline slots at the world’s biggest festivals, Solomun brings his signature deep, melodic touch to Jamie’s original, delivering two distinct versions built for the dancefloor.

“Jamie and I have been friends for a while” says Solomun “and his latest album really blew me away – especially as it’s his first in quite some time. Choosing just one track to remix wasn’t easy, but with Romy and Oliver’s incredible voices the inspiration came quickly. In the end, I delivered two versions, and I’m thrilled they’re finally coming out”

Jamie added “I’ve been playing with Solomun at his night at Pacha once a year for some time now. It’s always a highlight of my year so I asked him if he would be up for a remix. A year ago Solomun texted me his first remix and I loved it and started playing it while touring in Asia. Then he sent me another one out of the blue! Both are so good. I’ve played the remixes at almost every show, and got to play it live with Oli and Romy at Lido which was quite special. Hope you enjoy them as much as I do”

The release arrives ahead of two special events that will see Jamie and Solmun share a stage together. On 22nd August, they’ll appear – alongside Four Tet – for Diynamic’s “Dynamic Outdoor” event in France’s iconic Théâtre Antique D’Orange. Then on 24th August, Jamie will join Solomun for a special back-to-back set for his legendary +1 night at Pacha Ibiza, following regular, unforgettable appearances there over the past few years. Jamie will also play Rock en Seine and Chicago’s Arc Music Festival before appearing at Together For Palestine at London’s OVO Arena Wembley on 17 September.

Jamie’s In Waves, released 20 September 2024 via Young, debuted at #5 in the UK Albums Chart and features collaborators including Robyn, Honey Dijon, Panda Bear and The Avalanches, Robyn, and his The xx bandmates. Hailed as “immaculate” (NME) and “a masterpiece” (Clash), the record follows the 10th anniversary of his landmark debut In Colour earlier this year –  the GRAMMY, Brit and Mercury-nominated modern classic featuring “Loud Places”, “Gosh” and “I Know There’s Gonna Be (Good Times)”.
