This 2022 Moving Shadow EP finds Calyx delivering four tracks of intricate, tough, and varied electronic music, blending elements of drum and bass and techno.

• The Moving Shadow label, founded by Rob Playford in 1991, was instrumental in the early development of the UK rave and jungle scenes.
• The track 'Quagmire' features a distinctive, almost industrial rhythmic structure layered with atmospheric synth work.
• This release arrived during a period of renewed interest in the harder, more experimental sounds of breakbeat-driven electronic music.

Calyx is the solo electronic music project of UK-based DJ and producer Andy Holt, known for his contributions to the drum and bass and techno scenes. Holt has released music on labels such as Metalheadz, RAM Records, and Moving Shadow since the late 1990s.
