loveable london trio x-press 2 take a trip down memory lane, with the re-release of their 1993 debut, club smash 'muzik xpress'. a best of album 'raise your hands', follows in june and charts the changing face of their zeitgeist-defining anthems to date. new school club heroes skylark revamp the original, with a brand new remix for 2008. the story so far: rocky, diesel and ashley beedle aka x-press 2 have been friends since the inception of what we now call dance music, first as partygoers and soon after as djs, producers and remixers. 'muzik-xpress' / 'london xpress' exploded onto the scene and was soon followed by the equally massive 'say what', 'hip housin' and 'rock 2 house'. following the success of these initial tracks, x-press 2 were propelled to the forefront of the house music world, and began regular dj slots at some of the best clubs worldwide, whilst continuing their ubiquitous solo projects, plus group tracks. the turn of the millennium marked a signing to skint and the release of their debut album, the 100,000 selling 'muzikizum'. it spawned the dark, brooding behemoths that were 'smoke machine' and 'ad/dc', not to mention the ivor novello award winning david byrne collaboration, uk number 2 and worldwide chart hit 'lazy'. following 'lazy's massive success, families, clubs and more solo projects soon gave way to the creation of second album 'makeshift feelgood', which marked a creative move forward, more song-oriented and a bona fide artist's album, instead of a set of 12" floor fillers. vocal collaborators included kurt wagner of lambchop on 'give it', robert harvey, of nu-baggy indie dancers the music, on moody second single 'kill 100'. other guests included anthony roman of new york punk-funkers radio 4, while obscure eighties wonders kissing the pink voiced four tracks. last but not least, classic cover version 'witchi tai to' was perfectly voiced by tim delaughter from the polyphonic spree. since then, the boys continue their passion for music, leaving no stone unturned in unearthing musical gems, rocking the world's premiere clubs, festivals and raves. they have recently released a double coast2coast mix cd, offering up a connoisseur's selection of the many styles of house - past, present and future.
