Xiaolin

Making her Dekmantel debut, Xiaolin crafts a sonic world of dreamlike nostalgia, where earthy percussion and euphoric melodies meet in warm, romantically adventurous ways. With releases on labels including Mihn Records, Klasse Wrecks and Sound Metaphors' Bless You imprint, her sound draws on influences as varied as Arabic maqams, Batucada rhythms and Japanese synth-pop, channeling the blissful spirit of balearic beat, early trance and acid house. Equally unbound by genre, her DJ sets unfold as patient journeys through trancey groovers, tribal rhythms and gritty acid electro. Whether she's behind the decks or performing live, Xiaolin brings a theatrical flair and emotional depth that shines through.
