#MyRecordBag – X-Press 2’s Rocky and Diesel share their top house classics
X-Press 2 have been responsible for countless classic house cuts over the years, and the duo, currently comprising producers Rocky and Diesel after the departure of Ashley Beedle some years back, are set to release their fifth long-player, Thee, on Acid Jazz Records on 13 October.
The pair have already released a number of singles from the new album, including Zeven, which landed last month, while also undertaking remixes for the likes of Gabriels and David Holmes.
For 909originals’ #MyRecordBag feature, we asked Rocky and Diesel to share their top house classics – with both sharing five tracks overall. Over to you, lads!
