“By merging EDM, Electro Pop and Vapor Twitch into one unified package, this track undoubtedly carries the energy we need to refill our batteries. Blissfull melodies that we always look for, followed by cute vocals and the brightest quality of sound.”

“Chillhop beats of the future with a cleaver fuzzed out bassline. Broken and composed just like it should be. Easy to let your imagination run wild to tracks like this. Imagining landscapes that take flight and gardens in bloom. ”

Joshua Mbewe – professionally known as Laxcity – is a Sheffield, UK-based, Ndola, Zambia-born artist whose imaginative music draws on textured and intricate soundscapes to create immersive electronica with emotional resonance.
Laxcity’s debut LP, Catharsis, issued in 2018, is a moving project coloured by orchestral influencers that would set the stage for continued blends of high-octane electronica and oftentimes wistful, ambient and cinematic scores. A pair of 6-track EPs, Purity (2019) and Disconnect (January, 2021), would follow; he also issued a retrospective mixtape in May. 2021 has seen him land the cover of Spotify’s “Dance Rising” (2M) and “creamy” (700K); play Porter Robinson’s “Secret Sky”; tour with DROELOE in EU; release a collaborative single with acclaimed rising star Moore Kismet, and a single with San Holo’s bitbird imprint as part of its Gouldian Finch 4 compilation. AEG also booked his first ever headline show which will take place January 27, 2022 in London.
Newly independent, “melodies from heaven” captures the now-unmistakable Laxcity sound, with its whirring synths, sonic polish, and healing, invigorating energy. It’s the lead single from his second album and most ambitious project to date.
“Sparkling energy of electro house music, to the rhythm that feels comfortable in the walls of your favourite club and in larger festival venues too. You will bathe in its dynamics, amount of optimism and glittering beauty.”
“Искрящаяся энергия электро хауса, в ритме которой чувствует себя комфортно как в стенах любимого клуба, так и на больших площадках и красочных фестивалях. Вы будете купаться в её динамике, объёме из оптимизма, красоты и яркого блеска.”

Artist shared few words with Nagamag behind his inspiration:
"For this track, I desired to make something that conveyed the tension of keeping up with art and information by fusing sound production ideas from vaporwave, future funk, electro and house
I wanted the drums to resemble a ticking clock & the additional percussion to suggest the sound of a frantic mouse or smart phone keys futilely clicking about trying to make sense of everything. In the end all ideas are subject to the forward momentum of decay and construction, nothing can be held indefinitely. We wear out, but the rhythm of art keeps pumping along. Vapor never sleeps
This song is swarming with restless pent up energy. It is the catharsis of my quarantine. No chill whatsoever, & the low end presses your chest so hard, you’d think someone was trying to resuscitate your heart. And I am." - Skeleton Lipstick
