Event Description



Joshua Mbewe – Laxcity – is a Sheffield, UK-based, Ndola, Zambia-born artist whose music draws on imaginative, intricate soundscapes to create immersive electronica with emotional resonance.

His debut LP, "Catharsis," issued in 2018, is a moving project coloured by orchestral influences that would set the stage for continued blends of high-octane, and often wistful, ambient and cinematic scores. In 2022, Laxcity played his first (sold-out) headline show in London, UK and completed his first international tour of Canada. He also made his festival debut at Amsterdam Dance Event; toured IE/UK with Slow Magic; and played Ministry of Sound Club’s main room. His new 10-track "kinder opposites" mixtape (May 12, self-released/AWAL) is Laxcity’s highest-energy, hardest-hitting release to date – influenced by the bass music scene in Bristol, where he previously lived.

Laxcity has been featured by Billboard (“Artist to Watch”), Pitchfork, Genius, DJ Mag (physical), and others. He was sampled on Justin Bieber’s “Running Over” (2020), winning a Splice award for “Best Use of Splice Sound.”
