ChildhoodDamn I didn’t know you also subscribed to the Jamie xx One Dance theory too LOL @safe

WRFwe aren't giving jamie xx credit for sampling a record that was sampled dozens of times in the uk lol
I mean Jamie was working extensively w drake around 2012-13 on what drake said was “island music”
On top of that Jamie says here that he regularly sends Drake UK music “Smith periodically sends the rapper music, too—a few sketches of his own stuff, but mostly other people’s—serving as Drake's hookup for London club culture.”
Not only that but the xx covered the song first in 2009:
Obviously Drake was listening to the xx around that time too given that he worked with Jamie a year later

Flaphead
op you’re onto something here, that’s dope as hellI wish Drake would’ve linked with Jamie again for H,N rather than Carnage’s b**** ass. Maybe one day
They have a bunch of unreleased together so maybe one day

this might have something to do w why they never collabed after take care
You’ve met quite a few big pop stars through your work. At this point, you’ve done a track for Alicia Keys, and your track with Gil Scott Heron was used as the basis of the Drake track “Take Care.” I read that you’ve hung out with Drake. Who have you really vibed with?
In that world? I guess with Drake. I would play him lots of UK stuff while he was making the album Take Care, especially. Then he worked with Sampha on Nothing Was the Same, and he loves Jai Paul and all that stuff. But it’s always a weird thing, or it has been so far, working with people like that. There’s just so many people around them, protecting them or protecting their own interests. It’s hard to have a genuine relationship with these people, I’ve found. And that’s why it’s hard to make music with them.
So has that put you off working with big pop stars?
Yes. I might do it again, but in a way, doing that made me realize that I really just wanted to do my own record. So I’m happy I did it. But I went from having quite a lot of restraints doing that sort of thing and not even having a say in the final product to just being on my own in the studio, and being able to do whatever I wanted, which is nice.

@Childhood @safe he really mighta got put into kyla thru jamie..

yeah, it's not farfetched at all that op is right
they were playing alot of jamie xx on ovo sound radio in 2015 and 2016 before one dance dropped
episode 19 when they premiered One Dance, they ended up playing his song Touch with Yasmin

Interesting read
Jai Paul mention too
Drake really has such good taste
This is a quote from him in 2015 that seems like he would still work w drake but wants to do just him and drake for a song/album
“Everybody just thinks the more producers you have on a record, the better the record’s going to be. I would love to do a record with Drake, just me and him. But I don’t think anyone else in that world sees it that way…”

Yup exactly
The fact that there’s multiple connections beyond just the boiler room adds a lot to it imo

Drake really should make a more emotional UK dance album
Like capitalize on the Fred again hype and do an album w Fred, Jamie, Jai (if he’s willing)It just feels like a wasted opportunity given that he’s built his career on sad music and now is exploring dance music at the same time as that sound is starting to really pop

Think that chapter is already closed for him unfortunately. Especially for another full project
