Malux
Malux is the drum & bass/neurofunk alias of British producer and DJ Alexander Chambers. Based in London, Chambers produces under Malux and also releases as Skope. Within D&B and adjacent bass music he works across neurofunk and heavy drum & bass while releasing material that spans other bass styles listed under his Skope identity.
Chambers entered the scene as a producer working in bass-heavy electronic music and quickly narrowed Malux toward darker, technically detailed D&B. Publicly available information identifies his focus on neurofunk and heavy drum & bass, and on the parallel alias Skope he explores wider bass-music territory. He operates from London and releases under both names rather than using standalone pseudonyms for individual tracks.
Musically, Malux’s productions are consistently noted for detailed sound design and forward-thinking engineering. That translates into specific production choices: layered drum programming with tight, precisely edited breaks; transient shaping and parallel compression to keep snares and hats immediate; resampled and detuned reese-style basses processed with saturation, multiband distortion and spectral filtering; and rhythmic modulation (LFOs and envelopes) applied to bass movement. He leans on resampling and heavy automation to turn raw synth material into textured low-end motion, and his mixes show careful low-frequency management and mid/side work to preserve clarity at club levels.
On the musical spectrum his tracks sit in neurofunk and heavier D&B territory — sharp, syncopated drum edits, aggressive filtered bass stabs, and layered atmospherics for depth. Signature elements in his Malux work include tightly sculpted bass growls, precisely timed filtering sweeps, and drum edits that keep percussion both punchy and complex. Those characteristics align with the “forward-thinking engineering” observers note: meticulous layering, use of FM/granular textures for metallic timbre, and a focus on translation across club and headphones.
Career-wise, Malux has released on labels that specialise in heavier and technical D&B: Bad Taste Recordings, Get Hype, Evolution Chamber and Eatbrain. Those label credits anchor his presence in neuro-leaning circles and heavier drum & bass playlists. Chambers’s dual identity — Malux for neurofunk/heavy D&B and Skope for broader bass output — is a practical part of his contribution: it lets him place more aggressive, engineered D&B on specialist labels while exploring other bass formats elsewhere.
As a DJ he presents material that mirrors his production priorities: selections that emphasize engineered bass textures and edited breaks, combined into sets that favour impact and clarity. Specific collaborations or track titles are not listed in the available public information, but his catalogue and label appearances underline a continued focus on detailed sound design within contemporary neurofunk and heavy drum & bass.
Under the Malux name Alexander Chambers has built a body of releases on Bad Taste Recordings, Get Hype, Evolution Chamber and Eatbrain, while maintaining the Skope alias for wider bass-music experimentation.
