X Club Now Or Never

G Town Records returns in style with a sophomore release from Brisbane’s finest - X Club. Following on from enthralling electro and techno EPs on Steel City Dance Discs and 1Ø Pills Mate respectively, the pair show their full deck of cards with ‘now OR Never’, a four track representation of driving top down in the pouring rain.

Having risen up through the ranks of Brisbane’s colourful club scene, Ben and Jesse’s electric pairing has offered up some of electronic music’s freshest tracks in the past year; these four being picked straight from the root, pressed directly to wax and straight to your doorstep via Galway City.

We kick off with ‘Concentrate’; an unrelenting rolling mesh of drums and tense vocals that culminate to X Club’s almost signature UK break sound that doesn’t skimp in intensity. Following on from that we’re met with one of the most in demand tracks of the past year following constant radio and club play, ‘Inna Trance’; an audio representation of a noughties donk and trance fan’s Las Vegas wedding gone wrong.

We flip to the B side where the aptly titled ‘sports That Require Petrol’ takes us back to the gym for a performance enhanced drum workout before drowning us in pads and letting us up for air as we approach the emotional crescendo that is the final track. ‘Elevation’ sees the listener don their best Ryan Gosling-esque driving gloves before embarking on a rain soaked journey to finish the job; it really is NOW OR Never.

GTown002 stamps X Club’s place among the elites right now and certifies G Town Records as a label not to be ignored going forward into a brave new world.
