XXXY |Never Enough – & No More
XXXY |Never Enough’ & ‘No More|Released – 9th June 2014 (Rinse)
London-based producer and Rinse FM associate Rupert Taylor, aka XXXY, has announced his second release for the Rinse label, featuring a pair of characteristically melody soaked, ‘floor ready house tracks. It’s the follow up to 2013’s incendiary club hit ‘Got Me So’, and is the latest in a series of releases from Taylor exploring ghostly house and garage for labels including Infrasonic , Ten Thousand Yen and orca. Once again, what marks out XXXY’s style is his deft way synthesised melody; alongside sampled voices, everything is drenched in shimmering, spirally lead lines that bubble with energy.
‘Never Enough’ builds from a minimalist, dubbed-out opening into a streamlined, acid-flecked house rhythm, whose central bass motif springs wildly around the mix like a rubber ball. ‘No More’ drops listeners and DJs right into the action from the beginning, coasting upward upon a deliriously catchy three-note organ motif that feels like being thrust into the middle of a peak-time club set. It crescendos with a huge, reverberant breakdown, before a shower of melodic fragments rain down like shards of shattered glass sending the track into joyful overdrive.
