I just had a sudden horrible realization that since the website launch I haven’t covered one of my favourite electronic wunderkinds xxyyxx (we posted surprisingly a lot about wunderkinds). The talented 16 year old Marcel Everett (it is possible that he is 17 already) caught my attention with his second studio album XXYYXX back in 2012. You can listen to the full album here and it is amazing how many tracks sample something you can’t even believe. For example, "Good Enough" samples TLC’s old school "No Scrubs" and I don’t think the song ever sounded so good. The whole album listens in one go and before you know it it’s over and you want more. Much more.

Everett described his music as "Doing drugs on a freeway...underwater," (thank you Wikipedia) and I would say this is the most appropriate description. I don't want to classify it into chillwave or any other electronic genre, this is something rather unique.

Keep an eye on his Soundcloud for his updates and new tracks that he keeps dropping now and then.
