Fuzen & The Liquid Lowdown is proud to bring you one of the leading producers & DJ's in Drum & Bass, Halogenix (Gemini Gemini, Critical Music)
With what has been a career filled with many eclectic styles of drum & bass, Laurence Reading is widely accepted as one of the most creative producers within the community. Halogenix has immersed himself in a foray of sounds throughout his production journey containing some of the most soulful, futuristic, and forward-thinking showpieces out there. A background in classical music combined with a sharp ear for thought-provoking concepts very readily transformed him into one of the most complete artists in the game. The unique innovation throughout the body of work he possesses is thoroughly recognised by everyone associated with the genre, holding him in the highest regard amongst some of the best creatives to grace the scene, over the course of the last decade.
The notable spell with supergroup Ivy Lab essentially put Halogoenix on the map, signed by Kasra’s infamous Critical Music label, they went on to release some of the most iconic projects in the scene. Their drive took them right to the very top of the experimental game, till the North Londoner decided to part ways and crucially embark on a solo career that would ultimately make him stand out from the crowd. To focus on his solo output, it felt necessary to take these steps, especially off the back of two exceptional EP releases, ‘Velvet’ released on Critical Music, which contains ‘Blej’ , one of the standout tracks on his discography. Whilst the other was the ‘Jumpsuit’ EP on Alix Perez’s hard hitting 1985. Having consistently worked with these two heavyweight labels over the years, this highly esteemed producer has been able to refine his sound and showcase some of the finest constructed sound design in the electronic sphere.
During his time as a solo artist he’s been able to work with some of the greats including the likes of Noisia, Goldie, dBridge, and Alix Perez – a real testament to the respect he’s earnt. In the early stages of this new chapter he’s currently embarking on, we can already denote that high calibre production is a given. In addition, the desire to release what he wants and market it how he pleases has now become a luxury he can afford. With the launch of his label Gemini Gemini he finds himself in a period of euphoria where he can unapologetically express the music to his taste. More recently, the ‘Lost Friends’ EP which pays homage to his close friend Ebow Graham who tragically passed away in 2020. This series of production demonstrated an empathy in his songwriting that is able to touch on trauma, creating a distinctive, immersive, sonic experience.
Alongside the man himself we have Liquid Lowdown's Chiccoreli, Button B & Foxglove.
