Prolix

Prolix (Chris Wright) is a foundational figure in the UK neurofunk and techstep scenes, recognized for a production style that bridges the gap between the gritty foundations of the 90s and the hyper-polished sound design of the modern era. Emerging in the mid-2000s, he quickly became a staple on elite labels like Metalheadz and Virus Recordings, the latter being the home of neurofunk pioneers Ed Rush and Optical.

His career is defined by a relentless work ethic and a technical prowess that has made him a sought-after collaborator for acts like Noisia and Gridlok. In 2011, he launched Trendkill Records, an imprint that solidified his role as a tastemaker and curator of the 'harder' D&B sound. Critically, he is lauded for his 'True Born Playa' era which brought a more vocal-centric, yet still aggressive, energy to the charts. His influence is felt in the way modern neurofunk handles midrange distortion, often referred to as 'reese' bass manipulation, where he excels at creating movement within static tones. He remains a central node in a global network of technical D&B producers, maintaining relevance through a constant evolution of his synthesis techniques.
