GXR is the new project from the U.K. producer team Phil Webb and Simon Cooper.  Pushing back the boundaries of chill-out, GXR's debut album takes in downtempo, electronica, retro jazz/funk, deep house, mellow drum 'n' bass and the lush Balearic vibes they are known for.

Phil and Simon have appeared on over 150 compilation albums, including releases by Sony, Universal, Polygram, Columbia, Warner, Island, EMI etc.  Their music is licensed widely for terrestrial and satellite television worldwide.

The "After The Rain" album from Simon's previous project Groovecatcher reached number 1 in the Deutsche chill-out charts and the Top 10 of the iTunes Electronica charts in all territories worldwide. 

Phil and Simon's new GXR releases include their remix of Billboard charting artists Madison Park's single "One Day" and an exclusive track "Name In Lights" for the "New Sound Theory vol. 4" compilation on the BasicLUX label sponsored by Tiger Beer and Anheuser-Busch.

In August 2007 GXR's haunting remix of the classic Billie Holiday track "Long Gone Blues" is released on Sony Legacy's compilation "Billie Holiday - Remixed and Reimagined".  The track is already receiving massive DJ play, excellent reviews and is featured as a focus track by Sony.
