Following their remix of Kenneth James Gibson�s �Animals Tonight� on LA�s Culprit label earlier this year, one of Britain�s most exciting young production teams, Inxec aka Chris Sylvester and Matt Tolfrey, step up for a three track EP on Culprit, which also includes Matt Tolfrey�s debut full solo production, �The Other Side�.

Anyone who has been following dance music with any degree of attention over the last few years will need little introduction to Inxec and Matt Tolfrey. They are responsible for one of 2009�s biggest dance floor bombs, "I Just (Can't Take it)", and their releases and remixes have graced labels including Cocoon, Crosstown Rebels, Murmur and VIVa MUSiC as well as appearing on compilations for Om, Renaissance and Yoshitoshi.

A regular West Coast fixture over the last eighteen months, Tolfrey has made three buzzed about appearances for Droog in Los Angeles, followed by extended stays at Droog�s Bunker studio. Inxec joined Tolfrey in the Droog production cave for an intense sojourn in September, and this EP is clearly informed by these LA experiences, with the duo channeling their own individual styles in concert with Culprit�s mischievous bent on tech-house.

Nowhere is this LA influence more apparent than in the titular �Even In Hollywood�. This track pairs sunny house with a vocal sample from Malcolm X in which the civil rights leader cites both revolution and Hollywood, two major reference points of Culprit�s left coast leaning philosophy. Across all three tracks Inxec and Tolfrey�s playful sensibilities are apparent, leading to an EP brimming with dancefloor focused, uptempo, bright and contagious, techno-infused house music.

As always, samples at the Culprit MySpace

All three tracks really hit it out of the park, Inxec's "Alright" is full of all kinds of deep Chicago goodness I don't know where to start...sounds like he's taking a page out of Lee Foss' book

The follow up to this will be an undoubtedly rocking album release party at TS2 on January 8th

Like the sound of inxec's tune..

Culprit strikes again

Another awesome package, tough to pick a favorite. Although I think I favor Tolfrey's "The Other Side" a bit more. Really love the vocal work on that one.

Yeah I'm digging this one for sure

Release date is tentative btw, "after Christmas" is what I was told...just kinda guessed on that heh

'Alright' is nice. Think I'll have to let the rest of it grow on me.

How exactly do you pronounce "Inxec"?

I believe it's pronounced "thomas", there's a soft x in there.

Alright is all right!

Aye. At first I thought that the limited edition vinyl of H.E.A.D.S. was going to come with artwork.

the pressing off vinyl by ourselves, especially with artwork, is hugely expensive


a proper vinyl distribution arrangement is the only way to go in making vinyl because the distributors will press for you.

as the label and the demand for its music grows, fully-fledged vinyl releases are a strong probability

really digging alright. best track out of the EP

That's great news.

Getting some great feedback from various DJs/radio stations, biggest surprise coming from Groove Armada . Great news all around

Was the 29th confirmed as the release date?
