Introducing "Xaetis - Invasions LP" – A Journey of Organised Chaos

"I’m excited to share with you my latest album, "Invasions LP", a body of work that represents the best of my abilities as a producer to date. This project is the culmination of countless hours in the studio, exploring soundscapes and pushing my creative boundaries to craft something truly personal and unique.
Invasions blends an experience of heavy weight basslines, outrageous drums, paired with mind bending soundscapes and harmonics, creating a sonic journey that I hope will resonate with my listeners who share a love for the heavier side of Drum and Bass music!" - @xaetis

Album Overview: Invasions
"Invasions" is a raw and unapologetic exploration of my mental health journey, capturing moments of chaos, introspection, and resolution through music. This album is designed to invade your brainwaves with brutal yet intricate soundwaves that challenge and inspire, reflecting not just my growth as a producer but as a person striving to connect through creativity. Each track is a chapter in this journey, blending intensity with vulnerability.

1. Invasion - beginning, all-out-war, mental chaos
2. Scrambler - signal jammed, data corruption, intrusion
3. Cardiac - warning, surgical, urgency
4. Who are you - questioning reality, confusion, search for self-awareness
5. Inebreation - loss-of-self, disassociation, darkness
6. Violence - mental anger, concious self-brutality, search for focus
7. Composure - mental resolve, intense-euphoria, new-found-hope
8. Inreach - introspection, healing, wonder
9. Direction - changing course, controling the chaos, embodying change
10. Carnage - utter havoc, refined violence, setting a new pace
11. Quicksand - coastal storm, dangerous territory, outrageous
12. Evolve - self-improvement, adapting environment, evolution

Thank you for listening <3

MASSIVE ZEBRA - IM NEBEL (XAETIS REMIX) (FREE DOWNLOAD)

“Billions of years ago, an uneaten beast born at the time of the birth of the first planets began its colossal dark journey. Driven by hunger and thirst to survive, becoming bigger, stronger, more powerful. It never felt lonely. All the civilizations it ate along the way provided plenty of nutrients and amusement to it… destructive force consuming all that is prosperous and good, but it does not deserve to know and exploit the human emotions or use them for its own intoxication.
… they all welcomed Leviathan for their salvation!”

After a year-long lasting project, Bristol-based producer XAETIS is finally releasing his 7-track Leviathan LP. This enormous project needed a lot of care and polishing, but it was absolutely worth it! We can see Louis in his natural habitat joggling with tight drums and angry roaring basslines, exploring the whole rainbow of sonic waves.

We can assume this is his best work yet. Louis Parker is demonstrating his colorful palette of various genres and rhythms, each unique and powerful in its technical and musical spectrums. Besides classic bangers and adventurous storytellers, he shows off some 4/4 and even 17/8, inspired by almighty Noisia´s The Hole Pt. I. The whole project is causing some surprising damage, just as ordered. You may go and hear XAETIS playing at the Darkshire in the Woods 2022 in the Czech Republic along with the other SINFUL MAZE artists. SEE YOU THERE!

Here's a celebratory thank you gift from me to you for supporting me all this way! <3333

Enjoy ;)

XAETIS - MOVING

Here is an old-time favourite bootleg of mine that I played out back in 2022 at Darkshire in the Woods, it had such a great response people asked me to release it for a while and I just couldn't let go of it until I was happy with it fully and given it enough time in the oven.

Now that it's my birthday I thought a good way of giving back to all of you legends is to release this out for free for you all to enjoy and play to your heart's desire! 

Enojoy :)

Smooth, State Of Mind - Runaway Train [XAETIS EDIT]   ---------------  FREE DOWNLOAD

Scrambler - signal jammed, data corruption, intrusion
Distorted signals and fractured rhythms embody a sense of intrusion. This track captures the disorientation of corrupted thoughts and the struggle to find clarity amidst the noise.

XAETIS - Scrambler

Carnage - utter havoc, refined violence, setting a new pace
A full-throttle, unrelenting force of destruction—this track embraces chaos with open arms. It's a sonic explosion of reckless energy and controlled madness, pushing boundaries and obliterating any sense of restraint. "Carnage" sets a wild, unyielding pace, where havoc reigns and nothing is left standing.

Who are you - questioning reality, confusion, search for self-awareness
Echoing questions reverberate through a maze of sounds, capturing the confusion and relentless search for self-awareness. A track that challenges listeners to look inward and find meaning.

XAETIS - Who Are You

Evolve - self-healing, adapting environment, evolution
The album concludes with a powerful statement of growth. With its dynamic structure and uplifting tones, "Evolve" signifies adapting to the environment and achieving self-transformation.

BLENDED: XAETIS

Invasion - beginning, all-out-war, mental chaos
The opening salvo: chaos reigns as the soundscape unleashes a relentless barrage of energy. A sonic depiction of mental turmoil, it sets the tone for the battles ahead—raw, unfiltered, and unapolagetically fierce.


XAETIS - Invasion

Cardiac - warning, surgical, urgency
Urgency pulses through every beat, mirroring a mental alarm. Like a race against time, its sharp, surgical layers reflect the critical moments of self-preservation and awareness.


XAETIS - Cardiac

Inebreation - loss-of-self, disassociation, darkness
Dark and Heavy, this track chugs into the abyss of dissociation. It paints a hypnotic picture of losing oneself, with a gritty intensity that suspends itself above the void.


XAETIS - Inebriation

XAETIS - Systems [Premiere]

XAETIS is back at SINFUL MAZE after 3 years since his "Leviathan LP" with the perfect balance of heaviness and the technical side of Neurofunk. "Twisting EP" will be out on the 12th of February 2026.

"After Leviathan’s endless voyage through galaxies and civilizations, the beast has reached its next phase - distortion. The creature’s hunger no longer feeds only on matter, but bends the very fabric of reality itself. Systems collapse, logic fractures, gravity folds. What was once linear becomes circular - twisted.

Each track is a fragment of this transformation: the pulse of collapsing Systems, the whisper of Everything Will Be, the weightless chaos of Inertia, the venomous rage of Murder Hornet, and the instant spark of Immediacy.

The Leviathan no longer devours. It reshapes."

Bristol-based artist XAETIS (pronounced “Zey-tis”) has carved out a reputation as a multi-talented force within the drum and bass community. Known for fusing the raw energy of old-school Neurofunk with the innovation of new-wave DnB and the weight of dark, tech-driven rollers, XAETIS brings his own otherworldly twist to the genre. Drawing on influences from drum and bass, electronic music, post-rock, prog/metal and psychedelia, his eclectic background and passion for bass have quickly established him as a distinctive and rising name on the scene.

In 2018, XAETIS relocated to Bristol to pursue a BA (Hons) in Music Production at BIMM. It was here that his obsession with drum and bass truly ignited: “I remember going to a Jungle event at Motion for the first time in Bristol, and I just instantly felt like I was home…” Though his early productions were exploratory—dabbling in rollers, foghorns, liquid and Neurofunk—this period proved vital in sharpening his technical skills and building the sonic foundation of his craft.

By 2020, XAETIS co-founded EXPEDITE Records with Jon a.k.a. ON|IT, a label dedicated to championing overlooked talent within the UK’s growing Neurofunk and heavy DnB movement. A turning point arrived in 2021 when Jon introduced him to his first ever Virus Recordings event at London’s Steelyard. With a heavyweight lineup featuring pioneers Ed Rush & Optical, Dillinja, BTK, Audio b2b Prolix, Calyx b2b Teebee and more, XAETIS witnessed Neurofunk at its purest and most uncompromising form. The experience reshaped his musical vision: “…after that I finally knew what music I wanted to make.”

XAETIS’ inspirations trace a wide sonic spectrum: the atmospheric worlds of Boards of Canada, Aphex Twin and Jon Hopkins; the intensity of post-rock and prog-metal giants such as Meshuggah, Animals as Leaders, Explosions in the Sky and This Will Destroy You; and, more recently, the cutting-edge sound design of Noisia, Mefjus, Current Value, Audio, Magnetude, Gydra, Mean Teeth and others. Blending these influences, XAETIS now strives to push Neurofunk into fresh territory with a sound that is relentless, evolving, and unapologetically heavy.

His career momentum has accelerated rapidly. Festival highlights include sets with Minirig at Boomtown and Balter (two years running), a breakthrough performance at Darkshire in the Woods 2022 following his Leviathan LP release on Sinful Maze, and a memorable support slot for Ed Rush at Rise of the Underground in Jersey. He has been a fixture at Neuroheadz Festival three years consecutively, sharing lineups with Spor, Pythius, Prolix, Ed Rush & Optical, PRDK, Jade, State of Mind and more. Collaborative B2B sets with NIALLO have also seen him headline EXPEDITE and Yamatai takeovers across Bristol and London, supporting artists such as Gyrofield, Freshney and Stellar Residents.

With ever-expanding production prowess and a growing presence behind the decks, XAETIS now stands at a pivotal stage in his career: ready to make his mark on the global drum and bass landscape with an uncompromising and forward-thinking sound.
