MssingNo returns with the �Fones� EP, the London artist�s debut release for XL Recordings. TIP!

MssingNo first came to prominence in 2013 with the release of his debut �MssingNo� EP on Goon Club Allstars. The EP immediately sent a seismic shock through the underground electronic music scene, especially EP track �XE2� which became one of the year�s defining anthems and was named FACT magazine�s �track of the year�. Now, following a series of remixes of the likes of Cashmere Cat & Ariana Grande and Shura, plus collaborations with artists such as Katy B (on her forthcoming Honey album), MssingNo is set to release his follow up to the �MssingNo� EP

Available on 12� and digitally, the �Fones� EP will be released on XL Recordings � a label based within a stones throw of MssingNo�s Ladbroke Grove home studio � and features four tracks that showcase MssingNo�s crystalline hybrid of R&B and rave. Overflowing with trademark anthemic, ultra-melodic hooks, the �Fones� EP is a further pointer towards MssingNo�s bright future. One track � Inta � was first featured on XL Recordings� 2015 XL Chapter VI compilation album, while �Scope� was premiered earlier this week by Radio 1�s Annie Mac.

�The �Fones� EP also sees XL continuing to reconnect with the spirit of the label�s early days. XL�s initial reputation was built around a series of underground, club-focused, outsider rave 12�s from the likes of The Prodigy, SL2, Awesome 3 and Jonny L. Recent releases have seen the likes of Zomby, Special Request and Hugo Massien harnessing that spirit and bringing it right up to date.
