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 LookText Jazz Monroe Lxury is Andy Smith, a Croydon producer who makes music with the unabashed zeal of a bright, laptop-loving 13-year-old. You probably know “J.A.W.S” and “We Do”, both helped along by his pals in Disclosure, as well as the Kitsuné-tipped “Never Love”.

Taking that as its lead, debut EP Playground (out June 30 on Greco-Roman) lets loose to show off the producer’s playful eclecticism: “Raid” feels like the Daft Punk remix of a Basement Jaxx tune you forgot you loved, while “Company” belatedly soundtracks that awkward moment at the school disco when all your friends had already coupled off but you were just too hopped up on cherryade and Dib-Dabs to stop dancing.
