Event Details

Astral People are extremely excited to present the Sydney Laneway Festival sideshow from Florida's harmonic young gun XXYYXX, riding a wave of global acclaim for his romantic take on electronic futurism.

Exploring cross sections of R&B, modern Hip-Hop and the brighter side of low-end UK sounds, XXYYXX - real name Marcel Everett - has become an online sensation thanks to the video for 'About You' - reaching over 6 million hits on YouTube alone. His material, released exclusive on Relief in Abstract records, has since received acclaim from the likes of Vice Magazine, XLR8R and a cohort of the worlds leading music watchdogs, drawing comparisons to J Dilla, James Blake and, in the case of Noisey, a "Web 2.0 version of Barry White".

Bringing his intelligent brand of modern sounds to Sydney once again this February, XXYYXX provides a completely unique take on modern music that is unaided by the perils of age. Experience this one-off opportunity to see one of the rising stars of modern electronic music.

Support from Wave Racer and Basenji.
