Featured Exclusive this week: GXR

'Skylines' is the eagerly awaited debut album from GXR, the new project from former Groovecatcher producer Simon Cooper and Phil Webb. This release redraws the boundaries of down tempo, electronica, future jazz and deep house. It has also a few moments of mellow drum 'n' bass and trip hop soundscapes. After remixing Billie Holiday's "Long Gone Blues" for Sony Legacy, GXR set out to create Skylines which draws on all the experience and inspiration over the years from this duo. Phil and Simon have appeared on over 150 compilations and been in the Top 10 on iTunes.

Skylines also welcomes in several guests including deep house heroes Chris Brann (Ananda Project/Wamdue Project) and Kai Martin of Solu Music as well as a collaboration with Madison Park (featuring a vocal from DeAnna Cool) and a remix with DC's neo-lounge producer TOAO.

This is a full exploration into the grooved out sounds and with a future jazz feel along the top there are plenty of twists and turns to keep your attention. Skylines transports the listener into the rarefied zone between the city and the sky, visual and uinque, where soundscapes as ethereal as the clouds meet the deepest beats from the street.

HE'S ALIVE!! PRAISE GOD!!
