Dito - Shadows (Talla 2XLC Vocal Remix Original Version) MASTER

Talla 2XLC is one of the first pioneers of electronic music and in his career as a DJ, producer and eventmanager with over four decades of experience he has released numerous albums singles and remixes under several aliases.

He played in clubs and at festivals worldwide, being known for his high-energy DJ sets and his ability to get crowds moving on the dance floor.

His style is characterized by driving beats, melodic synths and uplifting melodies, but he has reinvented himself many times and plays masterfully in different electronic music genres like Techno, Trance and Progressive.

In addition Talla 2XLC is also the founder of the Technoclub, the most popular electronic music event in Germany. Therefore he brought many international artists to Germany, consistently pushing the global dance scene and bringing excitement to the electronic community.

Born and raised in a small village in Switzerland, Patrick Mathez discovered his passion for music and technology early on. At just 14 years old, he started DJing at youth events – first warming up, then as the main act. Soon after, he began organizing his own events under the name DJ Future.
At 18, he finally entered the club scene and quickly gained a reputation across Switzerland. He became a regular at venues like Sky Club and D-Light, and hosted legendary label nights at Blächbar, Techno Bar, and Rotzloch.
Between 1998 and 2005, Patrick played over 200 shows, including international gigs in Spain, Cyprus, and the UK, and appeared several times at Street Parade Zurich. One of his biggest events was Terminal B, a sold-out birthday party with over 3,500 guests, featuring DJ Tatana, Noise, Energy, Nonsdrome, and more.
In 2005, he stepped away from the scene for family and career reasons – but Trance remained his true love. After visiting Transmission Prague in 2020, he reignited his passion for uplifting trance and began producing again in his home studio.
In 2023, with more freedom and a fresh mindset, Patrick Mathez returned – with a new name, new energy, and professional focus.
By 2024, he had refined his mixing on Pioneer gear, built strong industry connections, and started performing again. In June 2025, he launched his own event brand:
🎶 Sanctuary of Trance – a club night series featuring top national and international acts.
