mc xander

mc xander -lrb- born 1983 -rrb- is a british musician and music producer , known for creating his music using only his voice and a loopstation , which layers up his vocal sounds .
his music references dancehall , reggae , dubstep , drum and bass and hip hop but more broadly fits into the electronica and idm genres .
in 2010 he described his sound as ` progressive dancehall ' .
at his shows all the songs , including the bass , beat , backing vocals , lyrics and all sounds , are created live using his voice .
in recent years he has started using an effects box which processes his voice and increases the variety of textures and sounds he can add to his tracks .
he introduced the combination of using a kaoss pad and a loopstation with all vocal performances , inspiring other beatbox artists such as beardyman to experiment with this technology .
