Turbo-Laser is Chris Wilkinson and Alan Matthews. 

Here we present all 12 tracks from our 2010 debut album, as well as other home recordings of songs, skits and strange otherworldly pieces.

Leo NXT formerly (Roast Beatz), once rooted in hip-hop, has evolved into a versatile producer and DJ at the intersection of Hip House and Jackin House. Starting out as a hip-hop DJ, his early years were defined by scratching and crate digging. However, as his journey took him through vibrant club scenes across the UK and beyond, he discovered a deep-seated love for house music. For years, this passion remained in the background, but over the last five years, it has fully ignited.

Blending elements of hip-hop’s raw energy with house music’s infectious grooves, Leo NXT has crafted a unique sound. His production seamlessly merges these two cultures, resulting in tracks that sit comfortably between both worlds. As his tempos have increased, so too have his DJ skills—adapting to infuse low-key scratching and live remixing while keeping the energy on the dancefloor intact.

Now, with a refined focus, Leo NXT pushes boundaries, bridging genres while staying true to both cultures.
