Master of r&b splice and UK chop “XXXY” rubs my ears the right way with his excellent new E.P “Everything”. As one of the main perpetrators of a distinctly British take on house, Rupert Taylor sums up what’s been going on in clubland. The title track off the E.P (soon out on Well Rounded) is distinctly Chicago and reminiscent of the work of a certain DJ Sneak, but is pleasantly jazzed up by XXXY’s lush and melodic orchestration. This is then followed by the garage hybrid “This Can’t Be Love” which is yet another success story reveling in rim shots and sub bass.
