If this item in stock, then you will get an infomation E-Mail!Since 2009 XXXY, aka Rupert Taylor, has released a string of 12 inches through labels like Infrasonics, Well Rounded and Ten Thousand Yen that have showed off his idiosyncratic takes on UK garage and bass-driven house. His debut for Rinse picks up where they left off, with three tracks of shimmering, synth-led house music, marked out by Taylor’s distinctive spiralling melodies and sampled voices.
"Got Me So" starts slowly, opening in a quiet cascade of Casio tones and a looped vocal, before abruptly exploding with the most muscular bassline Taylor’s crafted to date. Towards its end it abruptly shifts up a notch in intensity, building to a gorgeous, string-led crescendo.
"Get Ready" has a sweetness and positivity that harks more explicitly back to speed garage, hinged around swung drums, wordless voices and hefty four-to-the-floor kicks.
The bundle is rounded off by "Studio 9 (Just Like That)", it’s most directly house-leaning track. It’s house supercharged, though, lent momentum by snares and whiplash synths that rip through the mix.[info from wa]
