I’ve been a longtime Jamie xx fan, but have never taken the time to listen to one of his stellar DJ sets until now. This recent one from Reykjavík, Iceland includes two unreleased remixes of tracks from The xx’s new album, I See You. Skip to the 20:50 mark to hear Jamie’s outstanding “On Hold” remix.

Annie Atkins

I stumbled upon the work of Annie Atkins a few weeks ago, and I am highly intrigued! This designer specializes in graphics for filmmaking, including movie posters, props, and set pieces. She has also worked on The Grand Budapest Hotel as a graphic designer, where her role involved “planning and creating every single item that would be designed in real life.” Read more about her work in the Wes Anderson movie here, and be sure to see her website.

Ben Tousley

I’ve been aware of the work of Ben Tousley for a while now, but have just recently started to appreciate his growing portfolio of design work. He has designed album covers and record packaging for musicians like Fleet Foxes, Grizzly Bear, and Rostam. According to this interview with It’s Nice That, he gained Grizzly Bear as his first big freelance client at age 18.

Check out his impressive design portfolio here.
