Baxter is a Swedish electronica band composed of two drum and bass producers and an emotive vocalist.
The band set out to transform pop music by introducing melody, vocals and strong song-writing to a layered drum and bass/jungle-influenced rhythm.
In 1996, Ricky Tillblad, one of the Swedish recording industry's pre-eminent designers, dub/reggae aficionado, and the man behind the Stockholm dub club, DubDeck, met Nino Ramsby, former guitarist and lead singer in the band Salt.
At the time, Nino was looking for design and graphic arts work to finance his musical interests.
By late 1996, Ricky and Carl had become a prolific production team working as Eclectic Bob, cutting instrumental club-oriented drum & bass tracks for Primal Music.
