The boys from 6ix Toys combine all the energy of live funk with elements of hip-hop, making what was originally a relatively exclusive genre accessible to a much wider audience, further bridging genre gaps with live covers of dance classics (perhaps their most popular track being a cover of The Prodigy's <i>Voodoo People</i>)<div><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal;"> Recent c</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal; "><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal;">ollaborations with Liverpool's hip-hop heavyweights ASM and Chicago-based Pugz Atoms show 6ix Toys going from strength to strength, and it seems as if every new musical project in Merseyside has at least one of the 6ix involved in some way.
