English crossover dance producer, Jamie xx, and German veteran DJ Koze, here working under his Kosi Kos alias, have shared their new collaborative track "Come We Go," appearing on the latter's label compilation DJ Koze Presents: Pampa Vol. 1. The album is streaming now on Apple Music, where you can find the the duo's swirling, Balearic heater, buoyantly urged along by flustered analog percussion and a rallying cry vocal sample that seem to struggle to keep up with the kick drum's uptempo poise.

"This song is an ode to London's orbital motorway, the M25," said Jamie Smith in the press release. "I was thinking about a family who was so isolated, so removed from society, that they would just go and spend the end of their days in a car."

The compilation will be out on May 6 via Pampa Records, and is their first release in the format.
