Sunday evening in Hong Kong and, from his suite on an elevated floor of the Mandarin Oriental, Jamie xx can see — just — tonight’s gig. Squatting down there by Central Harbourfront, flanked by a glittering big wheel and the even-more-glittering skyscrapers of the city’s financial district, are the multiple stages of Clockenflap.
It’s the final night of the three-day music festival. The south London-raised DJ, producer and sometime member of The xx is one of the closing acts, performing alongside fellow bill-topper Jack White and succeeding the previous days’ headliners Central Cee, Suede, Air and excellently-named Japanese hip-hop duo Creepy Nuts.
