Kiwi duo 2XM make a welcome return to Eton Messy Records this August with their ‘Inperspect’ EP.

2XM is callobrative guise of the respectively New Zealand and Australia based Liam and Ben Murray. The pair have been creating unique blends of dance music since late 2016, exploring a multitude of sonics, stemming from their wide variety of training and interest in jazz, classical, hip-hop and electronic music. Recent times have seen the pair unveil a string of material via the likes of Eton Messy, Sengiley Records and GLBDOM, adding to their already extensive list of releases with Slothboogie, Café del Mar, Dansu Discs, Bolting Bits, Of Leisure and many more.

Here the pair return with a fresh three-tracker, led by title-track ‘Inperspect’ which fuses hazy atmospherics and bumpy off kilter drums with snaking subs, airy vocals and cinematic strings.

‘Sometimes’ follows and embraces skippy garage leaning drums amidst elongated bass drones, ethereal vocal swells and shimmering pads before ‘Allway’ rounds things out on a more deep house tip, shifting the rhythmic aspect to organic 4/4 percussion alongside choppy bass stabs, fluttering keys and a vocal uttering the track’s title.
