Jamie xx

The feeling of being alone on a crowded dancefloor runs through all of Jamie xx's music. As the beat-maker and producer in the xx, he gave the band's hushed, minimal songs their pulse, then stepped out with We're New Here, reworking Gil Scott-Heron's final album into dubby, brooding electronica. Its 'I'll Take Care of U' became the backbone of Drake and Rihanna's hit 'Take Care'.

In Colour gathered British rave, garage, jungle and steel pans into one warm, bittersweet record. 'Gosh' throbbed with sub-bass, 'Loud Places' set Romy's heartbroken vocal against an Idris Muhammad disco sample, and 'I Know There's Gonna Be (Good Times)', with Young Thug and Popcaan, became an unlikely summer anthem. It was shortlisted for the Mercury Prize.

Nine years on, In Waves turned outwards, with Robyn, Honey Dijon, Kelsey Lu and his bandmates joining a joyous, club-ready celebration of dancing together again.
