Uplifting section from Springsteen ax? Oli Sykes produces one based on Si-O-Si (8)

I believe the answer is:

siloxane

'one based on si-o-si' is the definition.
(compound of silicon and oxygen - Si and O)

'uplifting section from springsteen ax? oli sykes' is the wordplay.
'uplifting' says the letters should be written backwards.
'section' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'enaxolis' can be found hidden inside 'from springsteen ax oli sykes'.
'enaxolis' written backwards gives 'SILOXANE'.

'produces' acts as a link.
