James Blake is becoming a regular on the BBC: tonight he was a guest DJ on their Radio 1 Residency program for the fourth time. Throughout the broadcast he played music from Jai Paul, Caribou, Arca, Flying Lotus, Travi$ Scott, and others, and around 1:50:00 he plays a new, untitled James Blake song.

Blake was joined in studio by Connan Mockasin, and around 1:45:40, Blake asks a fake interview question from “Kimbra, in Australia”. “She wants to know what your favorite Kimbra song is,” Blake says, and then the entire studio lapses into uncontrollable giggles for several seconds. Among other gems, he plays a remix of Outkast’s “International Player’s Anthem” with his song “Pembroke”, which was a collaboration with Airhead.

Previously, Blake has used the Radio 1 Residency to debut new music from himself, Airhead, and Jamie xx. He’s even had a fake phone conversation with Burial.
