Solomun releases two remixes of Jamie xx’s ‘Waited All Night’: don’t miss it

Renowned DJ and producer Solomun has once again captivated the electronic music world, this time with two masterfully crafted remixes of Jamie xx’s ‘Waited All Night’, released today via Young. The original version of the track appears on Jamie xx’s critically acclaimed 2024 album In Waves, a project that marks the long-awaited reunion with Romy Madley Croft and Oliver Sim—his bandmates from the genre-defining group The xx. Now, with Solomun’s touch, the atmospheric beauty of the original takes on new life on the dancefloor.

These two remixes, teased for months during both artists’ DJ sets, have finally arrived—each offering a distinct sonic journey while maintaining the emotional core of the original. For fans of melodic house, deep techno, and modern electronic reinterpretations, this release is nothing short of a landmark moment.

The Origin: Jamie xx’s ‘Waited All Night’ from In Waves

Before diving into Solomun’s reworks, it’s worth understanding the context of ‘Waited All Night’. Released as part of Jamie xx’s 2024 album In Waves, the track brought him back together with his former bandmates Romy and Oliver, sparking excitement among fans of The xx. Their ethereal vocal interplay, subtle lyrical depth, and Jamie’s masterful production made ‘Waited All Night’ a standout not just on the album, but also in his live performances, including at Glastonbury 2024 and the artist-curated LIDO Festival.

As anticipation for remixes grew, both Jamie xx and Solomun stoked fan interest by teasing unreleased versions in their live DJ sets throughout the summer. The hype built organically, driven by whispers within the global club community, until today’s official release.

Solomun’s Signature Sound Meets Jamie xx’s Emotional Depth

With a legacy that includes the Solomun +1 residency at Pacha Ibiza, the Diynamic Music label, and countless unforgettable festival sets, Solomun has become synonymous with deep, emotive, and progressive house music. Known for creating extended builds, hypnotic rhythms, and emotionally resonant drops, Solomun brings all his signature elements to these remixes of ‘Waited All Night’.

In Solomun’s own words:

“Jamie and I have been friends for a while. His latest album really blew me away. 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.”

His connection to Jamie xx is not just professional but also deeply personal, making the collaborative energy behind these remixes even more palpable.

Remix One: A Club-Ready Journey Through Melody and Atmosphere

The first remix is undeniably designed for peak-time club sets. From the opening moments, Solomun layers a driving low-end groove with atmospheric textures, gradually introducing Romy and Oliver’s haunting vocals in fragmented echoes. The remix unfolds patiently, a hallmark of Solomun’s style, slowly building momentum before dropping into a soul-stirring melodic peak.

As with many of Solomun’s best works, this version keeps the listener in motion without ever feeling rushed. The bassline swells and subsides like a tide, giving room for the emotional weight of the vocals to cut through the haze. It’s a track that fits seamlessly into the late-night hours of any set while maintaining its introspective essence.

This remix will undoubtedly become a staple at Ibiza residencies, European warehouse parties, and open-air festivals alike.

Remix Two: A More Introspective and Dreamlike Interpretation

The second version takes a more dreamlike, cinematic approach. While still rooted in house rhythms, this remix leans into atmospheric minimalism. The beat structure is more subdued, almost meditative, allowing Jamie xx’s original emotion to resurface more prominently. Solomun stretches the space between beats, creating a sense of anticipation and vulnerability.

In contrast to the first remix, which feels made for moving crowds, this version is tailor-made for sunrise sets, after-hours gatherings, or even solitary headphone listening. The sound design here is intricate, filled with subtle percussive elements and harmonic textures that reward repeated plays.

Jamie xx himself acknowledged both versions:

“I’ve been playing with Solomun at his night at Pacha once a year for some time now. A year ago he texted me his first remix and I loved it. Then he sent me another one out of the blue! Both are so good, and I’ve played them almost every show.”

His enthusiasm reflects just how well these remixes represent the spirit of collaboration between two artists operating at the top of their game.

The Legacy of Collaboration: Jamie xx and Solomun’s Mutual Respect

Although their musical styles differ in surface aesthetics—Jamie xx blending indie sensibility with UK bass and abstract beats, while Solomun draws from European deep house and progressive roots—what unites them is a shared commitment to emotion-driven music. Both artists are known for sets that evolve slowly, building a world rather than simply dropping hits.

Their collaboration on ‘Waited All Night’ is a meeting of minds that balances Jamie’s introspective songwriting with Solomun’s dancefloor sensibility. This is not merely a remix release—it’s a statement of musical synergy.

What These Remixes Mean for the Club Scene

In a club landscape that increasingly values energy over substance, these two remixes offer a refreshing return to musical storytelling. Solomun doesn’t chase trends—he sets them. By taking a track like ‘Waited All Night’, which already held weight in Jamie xx’s live performances, and reimagining it with his own sonic vocabulary, he’s given the track a second life in the club world.

Expect to hear both versions dominate dancefloors in the coming months, not just from Solomun and Jamie’s sets, but from top DJs around the world who recognize the emotional and technical quality embedded in these remixes.

Conclusion: Two Versions, One Vision

With the release of two distinct remixes of ‘Waited All Night’, Solomun has reaffirmed his status as a master of reinvention. His ability to honor the emotional depth of Jamie xx’s original track, while sculpting it into two very different club experiences, is a testament to his artistic range and vision.

This collaboration isn’t just a fusion of styles—it’s a milestone in electronic music, where genre lines blur and mutual respect leads to innovation. Whether you’re a dedicated follower of Jamie xx, a longtime fan of Solomun, or a lover of emotionally charged dance music, these remixes deliver something unforgettable.

As the summer season continues and dancefloors across the globe come alive, Solomun’s remixes of ‘Waited All Night’ are poised to become the soundtrack of many unforgettable nights.
