First up was ‘Dangerous’, with its euphoric horn samples that basically set the crowd on fire (not literally of course, that’d be a safety hazard, but they certainly sound pretty into it). For the web exclusive, they launched into a version of ‘Say Something Loving’,
Recently, the band’s own Jamie xx also did a club-ready remix of ‘On Hold’, which turned the track into a six-minute up-tempo feast.
