For the third time, I have returned to Rustival on the remote island. This year, I stepped onto the stage with a renewed vision, embracing a fresh name to fully embody the evolving direction of my sound.

This set is a deep dive into hypnotic rhythms, organic textures, and shadowy grooves, carefully curated to sync with the mystical energy of the surrounding wilderness. I spent months unearthing rare cuts, blending tribal percussion, weird sound design, and trippy hypnotic sounds to craft a journey that feels alive—like the forest itself is breathing through the music.

Tracklist is on my instagram post.

Rustival 2025: xylon

Drawing inspiration from the ancient Greek word meaning "the one from the forest," xylon seeks to channel the spirit of the forest and its abundant vitality through sound. As an electronic music producer and DJ, xylon has evolved from his previous moniker, Busyboi, to focus on crafting minimal grooves, tribal rhythms, and dancefloor-driven sounds. 
This evolution marks a new chapter in his artistry, with his debut album set to release on his home label, Hekdb, followed by additional productions on various labels.  

Beyond his solo work, xylon is a proud member of collectives such as Cheaper Than Therapy and THUR, where he explores innovative ways to contribute to the electronic music scene. His journey has already brought him to respected clubs across Asia, including Mihn, OMA, OIL Club, and Saloon, with plans to expand his footprint further. 

With a humble yet passionate approach, xylon continues to shape his sound while sharing his love for music with dancefloors both near and far.
