Coming up on Thursday the 14th!! I will be playing a 30 minute DJ set of my own tracks💅 for ’s new event series !😃

This is an open format night for producers and djs to experiment in a ‘semi live setting’ 💫

So if you wanna hear music that has lots of m1 piano, gated synths, wavetable, and intermediate level mixing skills😂, be sure to come check out my set at 11:30!!😺

My Promise Cherry Beach set from
July 17th 2022 when I opened for Aurora Halal has been unearthed! 👀🏝️😎☀️ (just in time you help you thaw from the January freeze😛🥶)

This was actually the 2nd impromptu set I got asked to play when one of the other performers had technical difficulties, so you can probably hear the sheer exhilaration of that experience come through in the music!!🥳🥵😺

features my fav trancey proggy vibes with some techno, electro, house, synthwave etc🎶

I hope you enjoy reliving this summer memory!🏝️😀

Last mix of the year is now up!✨

https://soundcloud.com/loxxe/cmd-modular-systems

On Sunday I was featured on CMD’s Modular Systems show on CKUT 90.3 Fm in Montreal. This is super exciting because I have been a huge fan of hers since I saw her play at Mutek in 2018! (back when they had the Savoy room open in Metropolis)

Lately I’ve been enjoying reading the Earth’s Children prehistoric fiction series by Jean M. Auel, so this collection of tracks became something loosely inspired by that vibe in terms of containing organic, percussive, tribal, atmospheric, glacial elements, yet still ultimately being a dancefloor friendly techno-y mix. (Lol the 2nd last track by me is actually named after the 4th book of the series)

Full track list is on the Soundcloud page. Thank you as always for listening! 😃

Come and keep the Sunnyside Party vibes going with myself and the ABSOLUTE LEGEND DEMUIR at 584 College!🥳

SO MUCH FUN playing at Pride Toronto on the Saturday afternoon! 🥳🥹🌈🎵😃

THANK YOU to all my friends who popped by for a dance during my set!🤗

06/21/2023

This Saturday from 3-5pm I will be DJing on the North Riser Stage at Church and Isabella!!🌈⭐️🥳

It is such a huge honor to have been asked to make a musical contribution to this year’s Pride festivities🥹 and I wanted to take this opportunity to give another push to kindly ask for donations for the Rainbow Railroad initiative 🤗

Here is some more info about the organization:

Rainbow Railroad is a global not-for-profit organization that helps at-risk LGTBQI+ people get to safety worldwide. Based in the United States and Canada, we’re an organization that helps LGBTQI+ people facing persecution based on their s*xual orientation, gender identity and s*x characteristics. In a time when there are more displaced people than ever, LGBTQI+ people are uniquely vulnerable due to systemic, state-enabled homophobia and transphobia. These factors either displace them in their own country or prevent them from escaping harm.

As a result of Rainbow Railroad, more LGBTQI+ individuals can access lives free from persecution, and ultimately, we envision a world where LGBTQI+ people can live lives of their choosing, free from persecution.

For those of you that were asking “when are you releasing a new mix?” BOOM, here it is!😛🥳🤗

https://on.soundcloud.com/SthyExkBrtTcZV3A9

This is super exciting for me because I have been a fan of the Daisychain podcast series for a while now, and made so many wonderful new musical discoveries! For this mix I leaned in hard into playing my fav vibe of fast, upbeat, driving, melodic, pixelated intensity✨

And great timing too for coinciding with my set this Saturday for Pride at 3-5pm at Church and Isabella and my chosen initiative Rainbow Railroad! Details on the mix and how to donate are below-

Name: Laura
Alias: Loxxe ()
Pronouns: she/her

Influences: retro gaming culture, my days as a piano player and bass player, bright vibrant colours, music from the final fantasy games, 4AD (especially the Cocteau Twins), shoegaze, sour candy, s*xual tension, the years I spent living in Japan and Australia, trancey sounds, 80s and 90s nostalgia
