Loxy & Ink – Phoenix Rising (Video)
“Like in a dream, sweet particles of sensation broke out as if something unearthly penetrated into the soul and does not let you wake up. It’s amazing how easily that Drum & Bass rhythms can enter you in a state of trance and meditation. Present miracle!”
“Словно сквозь сон наружу вырывались сладкие частицы ощущения, будто что-то неземное проникло в душу и не даёт тебе проснуться. Поражает, насколько лёгкие ритмы drum & bass могут вводить в состояние транса и медитации. Настоящее чудо!”

Breakbeat titans Loxy and Ink have done nothing but bring to the table excellent sounds – soaking their gritty UK sound in a soothing warmth, ‘Phoenix Rising’ (Taken from the forthcoming E.P. ‘Manifested Visions’) hits home with undeniable force. A follow up to the hip hop track ‘Manifested Visions’, this track goes on to demonstrate the duo’s mastery of fluidity in sound. As an uncompromising drum ‘n bass pattern propels us forward, the imagination is tickled and teased; in this multiverse, the world appears shattered and beautiful, leaving it to the artist to pick up and patch the pieces. As vocal samples soar through an open sky, heavy bass keeps us grounded in reality; one that, however real it may feel, can shift shape at the blink of an eye.

Nother, Moon Leap – Lines (Spotify)
“There is a music that remains forever in our hearts. Really worth hearing the captivating voice of vocalist. Organic sound, every sound in its place and fit into the overall sound design by adding depths and melodic eloquence.”
“Есть музыка, которая навсегда остаётся в наших сердцах. -Lines- оживает, стоит лишь услышать пленительный голос вокалистки. Органичный звук, каждый инструмент на своих местах и вписываются в общую звуковую картину, добавляя ей глубины и мелодичной эпичности. ”
-Nagamag.com
“Lines” is the second single from the upcoming album “Future is Bright”.
A lo-fi arpeggio and deep beat guide Moon Leap’s voice through a texture of bright synths that float around your head, as the colors of the Northern Lights soar across the sky of your emotion, till the exploding end.
The calmness of her voice is a whisper that travels through the layers of the song and the relentless drums.
“Lines” is one of the most challenging songs I’ve written, trying to find the perfect balance between my own emotions and rhythm.
It describes the connection with someone who saved you from apathy, and Moon Leap helped me a lot during the writing process of the lyrics.
Her voice is capable of striking the outer reaches of your soul, and she was perfect for a song where the movement of the beats grows constantly.
