X-Press 2 'Makeshift Feelgood'

Four years after x-press 2 and David Byrne swaggered to Number Two in the UK charts with 'Lazy', they're back with 'Makeshift Feelgood'. The last time they were here, their humongous fan base propelled their vinyl-only 12-inches - sold without a bar code, only in HMV - thumping into the charts. But they've been away for a while, sweating in the DJ trenches, frequenting international clubs, trapped in the their studio listening to Sixties sunshine-pop LPs and working on wrangling vocal stars from far and wide for their latest project.

Presenting DJ Rocky, DJ Diesel and Ashley Beedle. Once upon a time their roles could be described as just three of the UK's most respected DJs and committed partiers. They gigged and produced and remixed together, separately and as The Ballistic Brothers. Uniting in the studio in the early Nineties and shifting shape into X-Press 2, they marshalled their unparalleled knowledge of the history of house to make huge, hard-hitting, one-off singles beginning with clubfloor monsters 'Muzik Express' and 'London Xpress'. As the millennium turned they re-emerged as artists, now signed to Skint, with 'AC/DC'. If you went clubbing even once in the last decade-and-a-half, you clubbed to X-Press 2.

'Makeshift Feelgood' is an exciting mix of Electronic, Pop and traditional Dance Music. The first single from the album is 'Give It' featuring the vocals of Lambchop's Kurt Wagner.
