Releasing EP Manifested Visions via R&S Records with collaborator & musical peer Ink, one of UK D&B pioneers of the 90’s Loxy is on a roll with one banger after the next. The music producer and North London legend also released his own imprint Cylon Recordings and established the collective The Four Horsemen which features Loxy. ‘Phoenix Rising’ is a mellow bass track that hooks from the first few dramatic seconds with its wave of beats and does not stop gripping hold of your attention until the very end. The range and possibilities in the D&B genre are endless, and Loxy proves that with this latest EP.
