Calyx Biography
London-based jungle/drum 'n bass production team Calyx comprises guitarist Larry Cons, who previously led a jazz-funk band called Octane, and former drummer Chris Rush. The two met at Oxford Brookes University before starting work together and launching their own recording studio in Streaham, South London. Calyx debuted in early-1998 with "Cubie." The Top 20 "Techtonic" followed soon after. ~ Drago Bonacich, All Music Guide
