Whether he’s sculpting kick drums from recordings of balloons being popped, defying dance music’s loyalty to the 4x4 beat with unusual time signatures, or engaged in conversation with past versions of himself while he creates art for the future… Everything you need to know about the young Scottish electronic artist and multi-instrumentalist WhyTwo exists and thrives in the spaces in between. 
His intricate, detailed and highly musical sound explores the space between dancefloors and headphones. His constant use of Foley recordings and his passion for classic jungle breakbeats surveys the space between drum & bass and avant-garde electronic music. His artist name and one of the strongest musical inspirations in his life traverse the space between then and now: WhyTwo was one of his earliest words as a toddler (it’s what he called fire engines) while his jazz musician grandfather was a huge influence on him.   
Even his hectic range of occupations creates an exciting space for WhyTwo to evolve… A freelance sound designer, an engineer in a renown Edinburgh jazz club and a regular session musician with numerous bands flexing all manner of genres; WhyTwo bounces between these universes, sampling his environments and those close to him, pushing himself to never repeat the same idea, process or sound again, constantly trying to express meaning and articulate emotion through instrumental music.
To date this unique meaning and emotion can be experienced on just a handful of releases – from a brief sojourn on the late great experimental drum & bass imprint Med School to his beguiling debut album Ghost on Blu Mar Ten’s cult imprint BMTM – but plenty more is expected imminently as WhyTwo continues to make himself known to the wider fringes of breakbeat culture. Forever exploring the unchartered playgrounds between the influences of the past, the present in which you read these words… And his own exciting future.

Beats In Mind: Headsbass is a Drum n Bass collective releasing albums since the start of lockdown 2020. The motive donate every penny from sales and publishing to mental health charities as well as charities relating to the support of mental health for related illnesses, such as Young Minds, Papyrus, CALM, Stem 4 Teenage Mental Health and SUDC-UK.
 
Founder pyxis had the idea to raise funds through music since her own social anxiety has affected her for 20yrs, and utilising her connections in the scene has now enlisted the help of over 150 Drum n Bass artists in the last 2yrs in the form of their beautiful music, from veterans like Peshay and Furney up to the new breed such as Trex, Leniz and Kleu, with their trademark artwork created by Mitekiss.
 
With the support of DJ’s such as Riya, Sweetpea and Telomic, each volume has had a continuous bonus guest mix and a full video documentary on their YouTube channel where each contributing artist talks about mental health and how it affects them or people they have known and supported, with each volume supporting a different mental health issue such as suicide, lockdown blues, young person’s mental health and most recently turning attention to how physical illness can become mental illness when pyxis’ own dad survived a 12 day coma.
 
Lockdown highlighted a brand new breed of mental health victims, from isolation and loneliness to fear and uncertainty. But one thing that was certain was that unity through music was a very solid and effective method of being together whilst being apart. It proved that the unity in community was able to thrive despite the inability to physically connect. It also showed us that whilst the use of social media can lead to some damaging aspects of debate and disagreement, it was one of the only ways for people to stay together and support one another through the very simple means of sharing music, videos, photographs and memories.
 
pyxis and the gang thank everybody for their continued support and this also includes all the DJ’s playing the music, the premier upload channels on YouTube and Soundcloud and of course all the people donating their music for free and the people who are buying and streaming.
