Rinse presents the 18 Hours EP, the latest missive of stargazing, spaced-out house from label regular Rupert Taylor aka XXXY following 2014's deliriously catchy single Never Enough (RINSE 037EP). Each track here captures the XXXY sound from a distinct angle, but they're united by Taylor's devilish ear for space and melody, apparent in even the starkest moments. The six-minute 18 Hours is a gorgeous, limpid whirlpool of a club track, Clap Pitch razes the dancefloor in salvos of static, distortion, and wild electronic shrieks, and Tool (Satire Mix) is a tough, bristling mass of acidic bleeps and steely percussion. 18 Hours, Clap Pitch, Tool (Satire Mix)
