Jamie went on to produce a series of remixes of songs by Gil Scott-Heron from his 2010 album I'm New Here. The first remix single 'NY Is Killing Me', credited to Gil Scott-Heron and Jamie xx, aired on radio stations across the UK and Europe in late 2010, followed by 'I'll Take Care Of U' in January 2011. Both singles drew a lot of attention by the public and critics and set the way for a 13-track remix album entitled 'We're New Here', out February 21, 2011 on the XL Recordings label and produced entirely by Jamie xx. 'We're New Here' received very positive critical acclaim and was named "a masterpiece in its own right" by BBC's Ele Beattie.
On June 6th, he released the single 'Far Nearer / Beat For', which was met with strong critical acclaim.

The lyrics to Jamie xx's song "Gosh" are very repetitive, mainly focusing on four lines that are repeated multiple times throughout the song. The repetition is used to drive home the message of the song, which seems to be a call for unity and a celebration of the UK's jungle music scene. The opening lines of "Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, easy easy, hold it down, hold it down" set the tone for the song and create a sense of urgency, as if the listener needs to pay attention and be ready for something big that's about to happen.
As the song progresses, the repetition continues, with the lines "Oh gosh, oh my gosh, easy easy, yes UK massive!" serving as a sort of rallying cry for those involved in the UK jungle scene. The outro of the song sees Jamie xx thanking the "jungle massive all around the UK and beyond," and it's clear that the song is meant to be a celebration of this community and the music they create.
