TEA with Xhin

Singapore producer Xhin is slowly etching his name into concrete tablets with his dub and big room styles. Championed by the likes of Speedy J, Jerome Sydenham, Luke Slater and Function, Xhin's darkly brooding yet intellectual soundscapes have fast tracked the Singaporean as a name to watch and sound to heed.



Tell us a bit about the electronic music scene in Singapore
Any local
Yeah, their is a folkish experimental band called "The Observatory" who are quite interesting and definitely worth checking out.
You have a very big sound flirting with various styles of techno, what did you grow up listening to and what eventually led you to this kind of music?
Some of your releases feature DJ Tools, do you use DJ Tools in your sets or is this just a bonus addition for DJs?
What are you currently working on?
What artists are you feeling at the moment?
Your playing Berghain and a Warehouse party in
Where have you enjoyed playing most?
Finally what is your favourite tea?
I'm actually a coffee lover but if I have to choose my favourite tea would be mint.
Be sure to checkout the new EP from Xhin Monad III on Stroboscopic Artefacts

TEA - Robert Hood - Cuckoo - 01/07/10


The Detroit sound is and has always been big in the south and Cuckoo bar with its Funktion One was tingling with excitement at the chance to see one of techno's finest. Clyde Drexler kicked the night off and kept things deep and foot tapping until Adelaide's renowned HMC took over with a warm up set played from the heart and the head receiving woops and yiews from Cuckoo's adoring connoisseurs and first timers alike.


A predominately vinyl set saw Hoods vintage Detroit jams sequenced between snippets from his new album 'Omega' with Alpha and Omega getting the most from Cuckoos F1 soundsystem. Hood played to a packed house until 3:30am on a Thursday with the Adelaide faithful proving they know and love their techno.
