Music / First LookStream Lxury's gleeful Playground EPGet a sugar-rush with the Greco-Roman house artist's new four-track statementShareLink copied ✔️June 3, 2014MusicFirst LookTextJazz Monroe Lxury is Andy Smith, a Croydon producer who makes music with the unabashed zeal of a bright, laptop-loving 13-year-old.
