French-British artist LX8 has just released an Afro House remix of his cult dance anthem GHOSTS OF SOUND.
The hip-swaying uplifting melodic techno track is part of his forthcoming double LP, a concept album steeped in the lore of the graphic novel series THE PANHARMONION CHRONICLES, also created and written by Henry Chebaane, the artist behind the LX8 (Life x Infinity) project.
The song “Ghosts of Sound” is the title of vol.2 in the graphic novel series, due to be published during Winter 2025 by Supanova Media. This second book and related songs follow on from the first novel TIMES OF LONDON, published in 2023.
THE PANHARMONION CHRONICLES narrate the story of Alex Campbell, a multi-cultural female music composer who struggles with a conflicted identity, a traumatic past and repressed supernatural abilities while fighting a violent supremacist cult through Time.
In the novel Ghosts of Sound, Alex – a DJ and EDM producer, travels back to the 19th century and uses electronic dance music to boost the courage of a community of immigrants fighting off a tyrannical imperialist power.
The novel is a blend of science-fiction, horror, and alternative history that invites questions about contemporary social issues; spiced by hints of humour, pop culture and references that will appeal to dance music lovers of all genres.
LX8 is the musical alias for French-British songwriter, artist, author and designer Henry Chebaane. Inspired by the example of film director John Carpenter who also produces music and comics, LX8 has started his own musical journey, and “Ghosts of Sound” was his debut single in 2023.
Since then, he has released several more tracks of dance music with a wide variety of melodic techno vibes.
A recent arrival on the EDM scene, LX8 music style defies easy description but can be summarised as a “sonic quest into the human consciousness and the nature of reality.” A fan of house and trance music of the last four decades, LX8 wants to keep these sounds alive and inclusive for a new generation of global listeners from all cultures.
As an award-winning multimedia storyteller, Henry Chebaane also produces and directs his own videos, often set in locations that he has designed himself.
His first graphic novel “The Panharmonion Chronicles: Times of London” was published in 2023 by Supanova Media and has become a cult thriller with electronic music fans. His next novel in the same series is “Ghosts of Sound”, which is also the title of a forthcoming double album.
The concept double LP is a sonic exploration of The Panharmonion Chronicles story and its speculative universe, blending euphoric music and melodic techno with dark cinema.

Jack Horton is back with his second EP in a year: Imperfections, a five-song collection that blends storytelling with polished musicianship.
The pianist’s and songwriter’s release features four original songs and a fresh take on a Jim Croce classic.
Horton is releasing one song a month from the EP, starting in April, with the last song being released in August.
Leading the EP is Set “Me Free”, a song born from personal transformation and letting go. “I’m grateful for my divorce,” Horton says. “Without it, I’d never have written “Set Me Free”, which is about loving someone enough to let them go.”
Next comes the upbeat, pop-country anthem “String Around My Finger”, the tale of a songwriter choosing love over Nashville. Horton nods to his musical heroes in the lyrics: “I’m playin’ covers at ol’ Joe’s every Wednesday night / Elton John, Johnny Cash, and a little John Prine.”
The EP also includes “Operator”, a reimagined version of Jim Croce’s 1972 classic. “As a songwriter, I never thought I’d cover someone else,” Horton says, “but I wanted to bring something new to this song.”
“Never Know Why” is a passionate duet with Vesper Stockwell, Horton’s musical collaborator and partner. The EP closes with a reworked version of Space and Time, Horton’s 2023 single about someone asking for space as a way of ending a relationship.
Imperfections follows The Tokyo Sessions, a four-song EP of Japanese music written by Horton, who is bilingual, while living in Tokyo. That project will be promoted in Japan starting in mid-2025.
About Jack Horton
Jack Horton grew up in Oregon before moving to Tokyo in his late teens, where he supported himself and worked his way through Japanese law school by playing piano bars on weekends. After a successful career as an attorney, government official, and tech founder/CEO, he returned to his first love—songwriting. A classically trained pianist, Horton’s music blends storytelling with deep emotional resonance.

Following the Afro-dance vibrancy of his single Worami, Belgium-based producer Lynvy returns with a dynamic new take on French artist Ocin J’s emotive track Alive, originally released on March 1, 2024, by French label Orange Machine.
Now reimagined through the lens of liquid Drum and Bass, Alive (Lynvy Remix) marks Lynvy’s first official remix—and a milestone moment in his journey as a music producer.
”I wanted to explore something completely new,” says Lynvy. “I’d been drawn to the emotional intensity of liquid DnB for a while, and Alive had that perfect core energy I felt I could evolve into something hopeful yet driving.”
The remix stays true to Ocin J’s evocative original while adding Lynvy’s signature touch: a Reese bassline, distorted lead, and classic break-driven drums that bring both movement and melodic warmth. Clocking in at 2 minutes and 45 seconds, the remix finds the sweet spot between radio-ready accessibility and underground energy.
”It’s exciting to see Alive take on a new life in the DnB space,” adds Ocin J. “Lynvy’s remix adds a completely different energy while staying emotionally true. That’s what a great remix does—it transforms without betraying.”
The remix came to life through Music We Trust, the artist collective co-founded by Lynvy and home to both emerging and established names in the electronic scene. “Music We Trust isn’t just a name—it’s a belief in the power of community,” explains Lynvy. “The connection with Ocin J happened through the collective, and it really embodies the spirit of creative collaboration we’re trying to foster.”
With over 200,000 total plays across platforms like Boomplay and Audiomack, Lynvy is quickly making his mark in the electronic music scene. This new remix fits seamlessly into genres such as liquid Drum and Bass, melodic electronic, and emotional DnB, appealing to listeners who enjoy immersive and genre-crossing productions.
“I spent weeks experimenting with different bass textures and atmospheric layers,” says Lynvy. “The hardest part was modernizing the sound without losing the soul of the original. The Reese bassline brought urgency, but I made sure to balance that with warmth and space.”

French electronic artist Ocin J is known for his immersive, genre-fluid soundscapes. He released Alive via Orange Machine in 2024 and co-composed three tracks for the album Joachim Garraud & Friends. His track The Box was featured on the educational platform Sawup in 2023.
