On April 15, UK producer xxxy will release a new 12″ on Welsh label Ten Thousand Yen, ‘Progression’ / ‘Thinkin Bout’. 

Less swung than xxxy’s recent ‘Got Me So’ on Rinse, ‘Progression’ is driven by a paranoid bassline that’s eventually clouded over by subterranean synth licks and some seriously slick snares, while B-Side ‘Thinking Bout’ pushes the single’s factory line aesthetic even further with pitched down robo-vocals. xxxy has a habit of saving his best work for Ten Thousand Yen – we’re thinking 2011’s stunning ‘Ordinary Things’ – and ‘Progression’ is no different.
