X-Press 2 are DJ Diesel and DJ Rocky. They need little introduction to be frank.

Two pioneers of UK House music who released some of the most influential records of the 90’s and 2000’s when Dance music might have been at its very biggest and frankly coolest. A lot of the music they released back then has stood the test of time – whether it be singalong classics like ‘Lazy’ featuring the voice of David Byrne or a classic Junior Boy’s Own Cut like ‘The Sound’. Their music still bangs loudly in clubs all over the world to this very day and in all honesty they remain two of the most interesting and committed to House music in the game.

All of this made it even more exciting when we were sent over a copy of their firth album upcoming on Acid Jazz. The pair describe the forthcoming record:

“We’re so excited to be releasing ‘Thee’ with Acid Jazz. It’s been a long time coming, and some of the tracks have been with us for around ten years now. So it’s fantastic to finally get them finished and pulled together with a bunch of new tunes to form an entirely new album.”

The new album is a testament to their ability to adapt and weave their sound into new interpretations of style and genre. The record is a playful collection of floor fillers and grooves which are highly addictive. Reminiscent of some of the greatest X-Press moments.

This mix shows us that they remain just as classy as ever.
