The Radio Magnetic blog brings you the latest gigs, clubs, festivals and music news from throughout the UK and worldwide. Martin Moffat on XXXY’s new one.

Last week I received some news that I have been waiting for for a while now. It’s not my results from the clinic, they should arrive tomorrow, it’s the news that XXXY’s Everything will be seeing a release on Well Rounded Records sometime “soon”.

I first heard the awesome Everything on the man from Manchester’s XLR8R podcast in September last year, and was blown away. It’s party house music at it’s best, with plenty of summery vibes to guarantee it will be a track that will be impossible to get away from if you are lucky enough to be attending any festivals this year. The track comes correct with a repeating vocal sample (“I love everything”) that will have you singing to yourself for sometime (in my case, since I heard it in September).

This is a strong follow up by XXXY (real name Rupert Taylor) from last years You Always Start It / Ordinary Things, on Ten Thousand Yen,which I must have played at least once a day for about a year. Unfortunately for my neighbours, I think I like this one even more. Check it out below.

Tracklist:

1. Everything
2. I know this can’t be love
3. I can’t stop *****VINYL ONLY****
