We first came across the Melbourne-based emcee Remi last year with the jazz-laced, smooth-as-ice cut, "Sangria". It was the kind of track that set off expectations for the 22-year-old, but now a year later, we're hearing those premonitions come to life on his newest track, "XTC Party", that's lifted from his debut album, Raw X Infinity. There's a reason Remi decided to unleash this track as a sneak peek into the album, and that reason is that it's fantastic. Not only is "XTC Party" lead by bouncy production, but it's the way that Remi's cadence rides atop the funk-infused beat that gives it that fantastically everlasting head-nodding appeal. Color yourself lucky if you didn't catch "Sangria" before, because there's no doubt that this new track of his here is going to hook you into his music. You can purchase Raw X Infinity on Bandcamp.
