It was only back then when Xenia Beliayeva finally kickstarted her career as a club DJ at the opening night of Karlsruhes Centre For Art and Media Technology (ZKM). Opening a night that featured the french Techno pioneer Laurent Garnier and electronic music legends Kraftwerk live on stage after only a few years being around DJ'ing at art events and similar occasions.

Many things have happened since these early days, when she was freelancing for labels like Playhouse, Klang Elektronik or Mute Records and working for the highly acclaimed Ladomat for many of years where she took care of various business issues including the A&R department. Not to forget managing her own label Lone Records in conjunction with Formic Distribution and the Ladomat 2000-offspring Danced Records which is another part of Xenia Beliayeva's journey.

All these things have taken her from the art / exhibition circuits to clubs, raves and festivals allover the world. Continously evolving to the fully established, highly appreciated and award-winning DJ / vocalist Xenia Beliayeva is now, solo and in several collaborational projects that she's taken part in throughout the years.

With 12“ releases under her belt put on the circuit via imprints like Datapunk, Different, Systematic Recordings and others plus a full-length album debut („Ever Since“) on Shitkatapult there's no wondering why Xenia Beliayeva has been caught collecting miles and miles, traveling to places like Spain, France, Italy or paving her way to faraway countries like Ukraine, Australia, Russia or Brazil where she built a firm, enthusiastic fan base and, in the Brazilian district of Mato Grosso, won the Factoide Award for the Best Live Performance two times in a row.

And live means live as Xenia Beliayeva has more to offer than just playing records. Her performance range has evolved from the regular DJ-set to DJ-/live amalgamations in which the Moscow-born artist is voicing special edits of her own productions and now reached the stage of full on live concerts, fronting the stage with a unique vocalist style and pure presence whilst her long-time partner André Winter is taking care of technical aspects.

This ability as such has once again increased the number of fans and followers attending XenBel shows allover the place and tuning in to her Radio Xenbel show which is broadcasted on several stations and in various cities she's playing, giving her an extra slot of air time plus a new and quite innovative way to interact directly with her ever-growing fanbase. And reactions show, that they do feel the meaning of each song even though they might not get the words as hit-singles like „Momentan“ or the more recent „Dumpfe Träume“ are performed and broadcasted worldwide in their orginal form - with lyrics sung in German.

This surely is another important point that singles out Xenia Beliayeva's position as „artiste extraordinaire“. She is a multi-lingual butterfly serving special flavours amongst mostly instrumental or at least monolingual competitors. Plus: her devotees are not only hailing from electronic club land but feeling at home in the darker, kind of Goth-flavored areas as well as in Synth- and Non-Mainstream Pop. Areas Xenia Beliayeva is not afraid of to explore as not only her videos but also different remix works, e.g. for the Techno vs. EBM-flavored Nitzer/McCarthy project, do prove.

Established in London, 1999.

André Galluzzi has been a vinyl DJ for over 25 years. During that time he has enjoyed residencies at some of the world's best known clubs, including Ostgut, Berghain and Tresor. An equally prolific producer, the past two decades have seen him release on labels such as Cocoon, Ostgut Ton, Cadenza, Ongaku Musik, Force Inc. Music, Plus 8 and Music Man. The co-founder of Taksi Records, Galluzzi's latest endeavour is Aras, an outlet for his own unique take on house and techno,
Born in 1973 in Frankfurt, Germany, André became dedicated to the fascinating world of rhythm very early on. When working as a bartender in a club, he got the chance to fill in for the DJ at merely 14-years-old; an experience that would greatly change the course of his life
Excelling behind the decks, he became a regular in a handful of clubs in the early 90’s. In 1994 he started working at the renowned record distributor Neuton, where he met Paul Brtschitsch, with whom he established the much-renowned Taksi Records label in 1995. One year on he joined Tresor as resident with the club at the peak of its global popularity. Following a move to Berlin, he then became the first resident at Ostgut, the parent club of the world-renowned Berghain.
Following Ostgut's closing in 2001, André released the legendary mix compilation, André Galluzzi: Im Garten and created a highly- influential event series, Submerge, which lasted for two years. Famed for his intoxicating 10-hour sets, Galluzzi became a regular Berghain and at Amnesia in Ibiza for Sven Vath's Cocoon party around this time also.
In 2005 he started a studio cooperation with Guido Schneider, which resulted in various releases on Cadenza, Cocoon and Highgrade, including their track Albertino, released in 2007.
Looking for a new playground, André established Aras in 2011, a platform for both his own music and up-and-coming talents. Known for its innovative and unconventional approach to electronic music, the label continues to be supported by some of the scene's foremost players. A true musical obsessive and a much-respected DJ and producer, André's passion for sound continues to inspire a whole new generation of dancefloor dwellers.

Nico Stojan’s inspiration is the universal truth that everything vibrates, and that’s why he embraces the transformative power of music. The Berlin-based DJ, producer, and label head, embraces the power of music as a unifying force. Drawing inspiration from various genres, he creates dancefloor moments that bring joy and nourishment to his audience. Nico's journey began in the 90s when he discovered turntables in his uncle's discotheque, marking the start of his successful career. His unique blend of musical energies combines jazz, hip-hop, downtempo, indie, and melodic electronics. Whether it's a beach, festival, Burning Man, or an intimate club, Nico adapts his style while maintaining his signature groove. He goes beyond sound, incorporating scents and other elements to deepen the sensory experience. Collaboration is key to his artistry, particularly with Acid Pauli, as they co-run Ouïe Music. Nico's releases on esteemed labels like Crosstown Rebels showcase his distinct, groovy sound. Ultimately, Nico Stojan believes in the transformative power of music, using it as a portal to connect with his audience.
