Bomphcast 091: XONO

Bomphcast

XONO is at the forefront of a wave UK techno with a strict and pure focus on groove. The Londer is one half of emerging UK label Platform 22. The other half is FLAWS, who we featured recently on Bomphcast. A DJ and producer by trade, XONO is fluent in the art of stripping his productions back to the bare essentials. To create an emotional and moving response in a listener with fewer sounds as possible is no easy feat. We highly recommend checking out some of his tracks on Platform 22. XONO's style of music is a part of a wave of rythmic focused beats coming from the UK. Sounds from artists such as FLAWS and Rene Wise are making waves across Europe. This style resonates deeply with us and reflects our current musical taste. His DJ sets are reflective on this minimalistic approach to music. XONO's mix begins with mysterious, almost ancient Egyptian melodies. It sets the tone for the rest of the set. Each track, transition and interaction with the mixer is considered. XONO seamlessly blends his selections, carrying through the momentum and vibe of the mix. Words won't really do his recording justice; you just need to listen and feel the music.
