XXXY - You Always Start It (TTY005)

WRoisetter just sent this to me via Twitter. It's the first I've heard of Ten Thousand Yen and the warm waves of electronica wrapped themselves around me like a melodic cuddle. The producer hales from Manchester - which is proving a hotbed for pseudo-garage and future house output - see Fantastic Mr Fox's delightful tracks.
'You Always Start It' is an irrestible tune padded with a furry bass line and balmy arpeggios that would be prickly if they didn't sound slightly blunted. The yawning vocals lull over the top, echoing you into a blanket of soft percussion.

'Ordinary Thing' is one of his first tracks that turned heads with the delicate grace of falsetto vocals and twinkling arpeggios that cascade down over the fuzzy sub-bass. XXXY's sound is fragile yet substantial with a skipping 2-step beat it's not brash and in your face but still has enough confidence and momentum to move you on the dancefloor.
