Rapid Fire With Huxley

Having recently signed to the infamous 2020 Vision Recordings and with his own label Saints & Sonnets causing waves, you could say there's a lot of heat on UK DJ and producer Huxley at present. As he gears up for his highly anticipated debut tour of Australia, Ben Ashton fires off a quick Q&A to the hat-donning gent.

You’re newly signed to Ralph Lawson’s amazing 2020Vision label, how did that all come about? 2020 actually emailed me and Ethyl a long time ago about doing something for them, but we never really got round to it. Then it was kind of left for a while and then Ralph got in contact personally after feeling some of my solo material and proposed I do an EP for them. It all worked pretty smoothly and i'm hoping to do a lot more for them! I just played at their party in Barcelona and it was amazing!

What inspires and influences your music making? That's hard to answer. It can be a vibe from a party, a vocal sample, a riff. Anything really. I think it's all down to the time and the place.

What can Australian fans expect from Huxley at the Bad Apple night at One22 in Sydney? Well, I think they can expect a nice mixture of deep, bassline driven house music, mixed with a tiny bit of garage and a lot of dancefloor madness.

What are your expectations from Australia and what have you heard? (Keep it clean!) Lots of XXXX and surfing? Although I hear it's the winter at the moment. Trust me to come when it's going to be cold and wet! Seriously though I have a few friends in Oz and they say the party scene there is wicked.
