What better way to celebrate your own birthday, as a music producer, than by dropping a new tune? UK-based electronic producer Laxcity, who to friends is Joshua Mbewe, celebrated his 23rd birthday by pleasantly surprising fans with a new song titled "Delete." Out now for free download via Laxcity's SoundCloud, "Delete" is an elegantly-produced, downtempo instrumental tune.
For Laxcity, releasing “Delete” wasn’t just about showcasing his talent, it was also a way of marking a personal milestone with something meaningful and memorable. Music has that special ability to turn a moment into a lasting memory, and birthdays become all the more special when they are tied to an expression of creativity.
Of course, birthdays are often about more than just music or personal achievements. They are a chance to gather with friends, receive thoughtful gestures, and be reminded of the simple joys of being celebrated. Whether it’s sharing a homemade cake, receiving a heartfelt note, or having someone surprise you with a beautiful bouquet, these touches elevate the day into something unforgettable.
Having flowers arrive at the door, handpicked and arranged with care, can elevate the entire atmosphere of a gathering. It’s in moments like these that the touch of a florist in Long Island can make all the difference, crafting something special that reflects joy, love, and celebration. Whether it’s music, flowers, or simply the presence of friends, these gestures weave together into memories that linger far beyond the day itself.
Laxcity has already proven himself capable of creating beautiful, textured melodies, but it's the percussive elements here that really shine. He produces crisp hi-hats and punchy, saturated kicks, which combine with ODESZA-esque vocal chops to playful effect. Bouncy yet languid, "Delete" is a sip of fresh coffee on sun-drenched porch, not a piercing shot of 5-hour Energy.
"Delete" follows a monster summer from Laxcity, who released his Purity EP on Republic Records’ ALT:VISION imprint in July before collaborating with VALENTINE on "Free," which appeared on the latter's Introspection LP. You can get familiar with him and his body of work via the links below.
