Robyn & Jamie xx – Dopamine (Jamie xx Remix)

Jamie xx remixes Robyn’s comeback single “Dopamine”, marking his first remix in three years. The two previously collaborated on “Life” from Jamie xx’s 2024 album In Waves, and this new version reworks the original electronic pop into a hypnotic dancefloor workout rooted in bass and breaks.

The London producer opens with a minimalist mood before building trance-leaning vibes with melodic synth pads and layers of hazy ambiance around Robyn’s vocal line. Instead of his usual singular catharsis, he resolves the tension with a simple breakbeat before throwing in grimy techno elements. Jamie xx says he had a blast making the remix and looks forward to playing it on dancefloors soon.

“Dopamine” dropped in November as Robyn’s first single in over seven years, following 2018’s beloved Honey album. She wrote it with longtime collaborator Klas Åhlund, developing the song over a decade. It captures the rush of chemical euphoria when falling in love—that dizzying high where emotion and biology blur, the tension between real feeling and hormonal illusion.
