X-Press 2 returns with new EP 'Metrowave' on Skint Records

Alright, let’s talk about the latest from X-Press 2. The legends are back with the ‘Metrowave EP’ on Skint Records, and, it’s a trip. It’s four tracks of pure, unfiltered club music that feels like a warm hug from a speaker stack.

Let’s get the elephant out of the room. Skint Records. Yeah, that Skint. The label used to be a whole scene, big beat, the Chemical Brothers adjacent stuff, all of that. Now it’s just a name on a folder, and weird to see the name still cranking out melodic house tagged things in 2026. But you know what? The original ‘Metrowave’ track itself is actually really good. It’s got this rolling low end that just keeps building without ever feeling like it’s stalling. It’s a proper piece of work.

The EP is rounded out by a Matt Karmil Remix that takes things into a lighter, more airy space, and a Dub version that strips it back to the bare bones for the heads. Then there’s ‘Um Bah Be’ on the closer, a longer, more drawn-out cut that’s perfect for when you want the night to never end.

It’s a solid return from X-Press 2, no doubt. The boys still know how to craft a groove that’s both timeless and fresh. Whether you’re a long-time fan or new to the party, this EP deserves a spin. Crank it up.
