Lux Recordings was formed by Chris Hayne and Scott James in the mid ‘90s, to enable them to produce and release their own material with a distinct identity different from that of their individual projects and previous work together. During 1995/6 they released 4 EPs, written and produced in Chris' basement studio in South London, and distributed by Kudos. With their minimal arrangements, containing elements of dub, progressive house and techno, and using electronic and sampled beats the tracks were well received by music press and DJs with positive reviews and play listings at clubs up and down the country. Minimal pressings were made of each EP and these have become much in demand through Discogs by DJs and collectors both in UK and abroad. In response to interest in these rare recordings two of the Lux Recordings EPs have now been re-issued by Mint Condition in early 2022, and an EP of unreleased material released by Bosconi Records in May 2022. Released in September 2022 Paramida's (Love on the Rocks) Moonrise VII EP track 'Space Ride' was built around a sample from another Chris and Scott project - SYT's 1995 classic 'Drift'
