Isolation Rage

-History-
Ekstasis was introduced to and fell in love with rave culture and electronic music at an early age in the 90's in Miami, FL. The diversity of culture and music he was exposed to continues to be a major source of his inspiration. 

His style and selection are deeply influenced by early rave culture as well as the techno, house, trance, ambient, and drone genres of electronic music. Diverse historical, traditional, and contemporary international music genres of all kinds also heavily influence the style of his productions. 

Ekstasis works to spread the ideals brought forth by the pioneers of the early electronic dance music movement to a wider audience, new generations, and performs to bring listeners to a state of altered perception so they can look at the world and hopefully, themselves and their fellow humans in new, more insightful ways. 

Ekstasis is a member and founder of AGE Media and produces tracks on AGE Records. Ekstasis works closely with the talented DJ DOC.

-Tours and Events-
As of 2023, Ekstasis has performed at dozens of clubs, festivals, parties and other live events across the US, including many long-form continuously live mixed and performed DJ sets for his livestreamed online radio show, Spacewalk. 

-Spacewalk-
This show is performed live by Ekstasis using a variety of instruments, including computers, DAW's, analogue and digital mixers, turntables, and synthesizers of many varieties. Spacewalk episodes are always broadcasted live and online on at least one livestreaming platform. In the past, Spacewalk episodes have been performed on DI.fm, Livestream, Mixify, Soundcloud, Soma FM, and YouTube, among others.

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.
