COMMIX have become champions of the drum and bass world, with a boundary-breaking, highly diversified sound. The Cambridge duo of GUY BREWER and GEORGE LEVINGS have released dancefloor anthems, classics and remixes on just about every desired label in drum n bass: METALHEADZ, HOSPITAL, SOUL:R, GOOD LOOKING, 31 RECORDS, C.I.A., V RECORDS and CREATIVE SOURCE, among others. From the deep, soulful feel of their first productions in 2002, Commix has since developed an expansive range of styles, which is a divine representation of their collective influences: the duo creates genre-bending drum n bass that reflects everything from bleepy electronica, spaced-out outergalactic funk (a la SPACEK), abstract minimal techno and the severe sub bass of dub. In 2007 Commix were the first-ever artist to release an album on GOLDIE's seminal Metalheadz label. The album 'Call To Mind' carved itself a niche outside of the sometimes rigid confines of drum n bass, with healthy collaborations from THE NEXTMEN and STEVE SPACEK, proving that Commix are willing to experiment with their sound. Peppering their productions with a more musical mainframe, whilst striving to fully explore the deepest driving recesses of percussion, the album encompassed beat explorations far beyond drum n bass.
