Rocky, Diesel and Ashley Beedle round up their biggest sellers for a Best Of collection titled Raise your Hands.
London house trio X-Press 2 have been dishing up Balaeric house, progressive, disco and pop house since the early nineties often employing male vocalists such as David Byrne ('Lazy') and The Music's Rob Byrne ('Kill 100') and Kurt Wagner ('Give It') on their biggest singles.
Raise your Hands lifts its title from the Sole Fusion sample used on their first single 'London X-Press'. The collection includes their four big singles from 2002's crossover album Muzikum, three cuts from follow up Makeshift Feelgood as well as early singles on Junior Boys Own, whose entire back catalogue is about to be reissued digitally and physically.
The collection also comes with a second remix disc including big X-Press 2 rerubs by Carl Craig, Freeform Five and Superchumbo as well as X-Press 2's remix of 'Star69' by the artist formerly known as Fatboy Slim.
