pyxis

In the vast oceans of D&B talent, in every direction you look, pyxis swims upstream. Certifiably one of a kind, pyxis has deep roots in the industry behind the scenes, collecting royalties for over 20 years for hundreds of drum & bass artists. Forever tinkering with ideas since her mind was first blown by LTJ Bukem’s ‘Music’, pyxis finally put her own music out in 2019. Long overdue, an explosion of inspiration led to a whole range of flavours flexing from jungle-inspired grooves to gilded sunny-side liquid on influential and inspiring labels such as Goldfat, Spearhead and UKF. In her short-but-meteoric rise so far, pyxis has also collaborated with the likes of Mitekiss, Telomic and IYRE whilst running her own Beats In Mind imprint, a non-profit platform that champions new talent with regular VA drops, all strictly to raise funds for mental health organisations. It’s a cause close to pyxis’ heart as her acute social anxiety has led to her being unable to attend events for a great deal of her adult life. Named after the constellation, which is also known as the Mariner’s Compass, she’s become a guiding light on the soulful and deeper side of the ever-growing drum & bass movement. Living up to her alias in every possible way; in a sea of stars, pyxis shines bright (written by Dave 'Columbo' Jenkins)
