Wax:On Music | WOM006 - XY-Me - B-Acid

WOM006 - XY-Me - B-Acid

A Limited promo available exclusively at Beatport from 21st April 2011 - Link will be available here from 21st April.

General release Thursday 5th May on Juno, What People Play, Track It Down.

A trio: three cards of equal rank.

To suggest that the latest cut from XY-Me takes you on journey would be a mega-cliché par excellence but there is definitely a destination in mind as Denton, Wilson, and Lister, the triumvirate that form XY-Me, unfold trick after trick on their debut for Wax:On Music, ‘B-Acid’.

Tough techno base-coats with a real sense of melody and purpose. Nagging arpeggio rhythms and percussive energy glue together rich textures and strong musical ideas; robotic slurps, sweeps, and swells fill the space between drum and bass, making the route from A to B less 'marching army' and more 'spaced invaders'.

As a three-track title from Wax:On Music, alongside the 'Original Mix', man of the moment, Bowski, strips things back to jack things up. Applying that special Bowski bounce gives ‘B-Acid’ a unique, “fun” appeal; a style of techno Bowski now finds himself highly regarded for.

Finally, People Get Real (two thirds of the XY-Me trio under an alterative moniker), slip you into something a little more snug with a 120bpm dubbed out affair; monster driving bass and plenty of audio mind-trickery to distract even the weariest of travellers away from the bar and back to the floor. Dig deep.

XY-Me is a collective 3-piece hailing from the northeast. John-Paul Denton, a producer who has worked on numerous music projects, now forms the XY-Me collective alongside Peter Wilson and Simon Lister.

John-Paul has worked under various guises along his musical career beginning with 'Avatar', whose first track got selected to open 'Nick Warren's 'Global Underground' GU24 compilation. Since then his records have appeared on the likes of 'Forensic', 'Harlem Records', 'Audio Therapy' and 'Champion Records'. Peter Wilson and Simon Lister, aka 'People Get Real', have been smashing it on dancefloors both with their productions and their on-going DJ residencies for ‘Wax:On’ and ‘Reclaim the Dancefloor’.
