X-Press 2 is a house outfit, which made its first release in 1992 - demented sirens, typewriter-noise percussion & dance floor pyrotechnics - Muzik Xpress. They are three DJs: Ashley Beedle (aka The Crazy Gods, Daddy Ash & Urban Bushmen), Darren Rock (aka Rocky & Rock One) & Darren House (aka Diesel, D.S.L., Flextone & Yellow Sox) - all from unfashionable London suburbs & each having played leading roles, in the capital's cooler, more influential, club scenes.

When their records began to get, as Ashley puts it, "more oblique", the three were content to put X-Press 2 aside and move onto other projects, and the three moved effortlessly into jazzier, funkier, more downbeat arenas with their internationally respected Ballistic Brothers team-up. In April of 2000 X-Press 2 found themselves back together on the road and in the studio. In 2001 they released the mighty AC/DC. The boys were back in town. ...show less
