Internationally proven and young enough to be considered a name for the future – Zaxx has the scored the perfect formula for high-end electronic music, which has made him a familiar and approved name amongst some of the brightest shining stars in the EDM galaxy. Having already bagged support from the likes of Markus Schulz, Aly & Fila and Cosmic Gate – the glowing production talent has turned attention to his own imprint ‘Southern State Music’ – which has wasted no time in establishing itself as a hotbed for the finest in new dance music.

Zaxx has already proven himself as one of South Africa’s finest exports in the EDM domain and with the arrival of ‘Worlds Collide’ – that reputation will only be advancing further into the stratospheres. This finely produced feel-good anthem has all the characteristics of Zaxx’s big-room profile and is beautifully laced with an airy and powerful vocal from American vocal talent Dustin Allen. Backed up with a classy rework from Shane Halcon, the package is a rock-hard release from what we’re confident will be a label to keep a close eye on into the future.

The duo have joined together and produced an unrelenting EDM anthem that has a strong commercial appeal whilst retaining a solid dance floor mentality that is consistent with the focus of Southern State Music.

Current project is a modern Drum & Bass Anthology - a series of liquid & energetic DnB DJ mixes with a signature "uplifting and trancey" influence.

Every mix compilation is a journey—crafted to tell a story and take you somewhere new.

In general, my philosophy is that different genres have their place:

✨ Balearic & Downtempo set the mood
🔥 Progressive & Trance take center stage
🎶 House & Breakbeat add the rhythm
⚡ And there's always room for Drum & Bass and Techno for that driving energy. 

Listen and follow for curated mixes and sonic journeys.

Shane Halcon’s story is packed with excitement, drama and entertainment all starting with humble “small town” beginnings in Pretoria, South Africa where he, as a teen, established himself as an aspiring professional sportsman, and, after a dramatic career change, turned to a world renowned DJ.
After a one year-long collaboration as part of established EDM duo, First State, Shane decided it was time to take a step back and return to his roots, back to the Progressive and Trance sounds that sparked his passion years prior. This return was welcomed by fans and, also inspired the name for his new radio show, “Reprise”. 

Some of the accolades Shane can lay claim to is the honor of performing (Solo and part of First State) at the world's biggest club Privilege for ASOT550, ASOT 550 Moscow, Ministry of Sound (UK), Kazantip (UA), A residency at Ibiza's long standing Es Paradis, Istanbul Official Formula 1 Gran Prix Pre-party, Hosting his own floor at Africa's largest EDM event H2O, Miami Music Week, Amsterdam Dance Event and Gatecrasher along with numerous residencies and other high profile events. 

As a solo artist Shane's work includes mixing more than 10 CD compilations, some of them for Toolroom Records and Armada Music amongst others, and his releases have been supported by Armin van Buuren, Paul van Dyk, Richard Durand, Solarstone, Above & Beyond, Myon & Shane54, Judge Jules, Dash Berlin, Gareth Emery, Cosmic Gate, Roger Shah, Eddie Halliwell, Paul Oakenfold, Mat Zo, and many more.

There are few that can boast to collaborating with globally renowned artists on their debut releases.  Zaxx is one of those select few. Acclaimed primarily for his live performances as a DJ in his native South Africa, Zaxx has elevated himself to assuming the role of producer with his first release "Feel Me" that features the vocal talents of Tiff Lacey (famous for collaborations that include Paul Oakenfold, ATB, Aly & Fila and Tenishia).

As a fairly fresh contender in a fiercely competitive scene, Zaxx has successfully managed to secure a prized residency at the solely dedicated Progressive and Trance nightclub in Southern Africa, "Truth". 

On the back of his ever-growing popularity, Zaxx was tasked to perform to thousands of fans at multiple Electronic Music festivals where he took the stage in support of Top 100 artists such as Markus Schulz, Aly & Fila and Cosmic Gate.
Thanks to his swift rise into the upper ranks of the South African DJ elite, Zaxx was invited to mix a major CD compilation (in collaboration) which was released by one of the biggest independent record labels in the territory.

Owing to his ever-present desire for progression, in 2013 Zaxx founded his own independent record label, Southern State Music, with offices based in South Africa and North America. The objective of the label is to deliver to the Electronic Music consumer, high quality Progressive and Trance releases by both new and established artists.

As if all of his accolades thus far weren't enough, Zaxx recently signed a management deal to Lucid Media Cartel, a highly exclusive entertainer management agency tasked to represent the careers of certain high-profiled individuals.

Zaxx is without a doubt a fresh and exciting young force with an illustrious future in the Electronic Music industry. With constantly praised DJ performances and an arsenal of top-shelf releases at the ready, coupled with his never-say-die attitude, it will be before long that the name ZAXX is renowned amongst the universal EDM community.
