Tove Agélii, known professionally as Toxe, is a producer and DJ from Gothenburg, Sweden. She has been releasing music since 2015 and composing scores for film and runway shows. Together with Mechatok, she also makes music under the moniker Emiranda. Agélii contributed considerably to the art direction and visuals of her own releases.

Toxe flits between hi-tech futurism and human emotion. Her tracks quake with heavy drums and cut-glass synths, nodding to fellow dancefloor disrupters like Kamixlo and Total Freedom. In 2015, while still in highschool, she released her debut EP Muscle Memory on Staycore and a Britney Spears-sampling single, Xic on Rabit's Halcyon Veil imprint. Named a producer to watch by Noisey, FADER and Dazed, she also participated in the 2015 Red Bull Music Academy in Paris and has been appearing regularly since on bills for club nights around Europe.[1]
