Wonky

Oh!

XXYYXX has a new one!

This is a week old today and just hit one million plays. It's a "Pay what you want" download too.

This is a little fast paced and less sparse than XXYYXX's usual style, but as a 17 year old producer, he's probably still learning more and more about how to create the sounds he wants but also about what sounds he wants to be making. I'm pretty jealous of him though, he seems to have been touched by a muse to have this much talent and following before he's even done with puberty. But this is a time when you can make serious music at home with your laptop, and XXYYXX isn't the first pre-18 whiz kid I've come across. (And wish I could have been, back then.)

I digress!

His other usual elements are still there, wonky, pitch shifting sounds, echoy clicks and claps but this feels more like electronic stuff - The hip-hop edge is gone. It's a really chilled track which reminds me a lot of Lapalux, Sorrow et al, a strange, warping kind of beauty. Not a bad thing by any means.
