Featured Artist
Lynx
Opening his new label Detail Recordings in 2010, Lynx is a man on a mission to deliver only the freshest and most innovative sounds in underground electronic music. Standout tracks including 'Disco Dodo' and 'Global Enemies' may have helped make his name across the worldwide drum & bass scene but the sheer diversity and quality of Lynx's output across labels like Soul:r, Creative Source, Digital Soundboy and Bingo have marked him as a producer par-excellence. Remixes for Metalheadz, Hospital and Innerground, plus his sublime reworking of James Blakes 'Limit To Your Love' have shown he remains ahead of the rest, with cutting-edge studio skills and the drive to explore new musical avenues. A diverse and talented DJ, his live sets are largely built on exclusive and upfront material with an eclectic feel appealing to clubbers across the spectrum. November 2011 sees the release of his much anticipated studio Album 'Devils In The Detail' on his own label Detail Recordings.
