m-a-s_dust Xenia's great. She's one of the few artists still doing traditional techno records, in the sense that the sound feels familiar, not dated or tired, but fresh and compelling as an extension of what I got into this sound for in the first place. So many artists are trying to do 'different' things whether they are good or not, they just want something ELSE to do. I tune out when the sound is changed so much that it is a whole other genre. Xenia's a constant in a sea of pointless changes. Favorite track: BPD.

    Xenia’s last album is an electronic journey called Riss, a German word for crack or fracture. The relevance of its name takes on its full meaning from the ingenious merge of contrasting musical influences prevalent throughout the album, disrupting genre codes to create a unique, unconventionally fiery vibe. We have 20 copies left and won't repress the album, grab yours here!:)

High Expectations High Expectations drive me nuts I think, I am damned, if I drop out  I think, I am hung up on a demon On a demon I am a mess I must confess There is some emptiness I am afraid to lose the best I am just afraid  I know it will be fine I know that you will shine I am afraid to lose the best I am just afraid  You‘ve been gone, you‘ve been away  You can‘t rework it on a day

Razor 05:46
What if I control your pain With a razor in my hand What if you would understand That I'll never be your friend

Riss 04:04
Rain keeps on falling in front of my window That's nothing new in this town I thought I pick up the phone to call you / call you I know your number by heart 24 seven I’m pinned up against the wall 24 seven I’m waiting for you to call And in the end I am afraid to do the first step That's really new for me / for me I thought it should be simply, plain and honest Simply, plain and honest 24 seven I’m pinned up against the wall 24 seven I’m waiting for you to call 24 seven I wanna take a knife and cut you into pieces 24 seven I wanna pull the trigger of a gun and shot you down

Because 03:28
Walking in the night Seeing empty walls My shadow only wonders Where the light comes from I see another room With a lighted candle The flames warmly touch Warmly touch my face Giving me a tender A tender kiss My heart is instantly Instantly united I‘ll be gone I´ll be rested I‘ll be your mirror I‘ll be your bird You and I We and the moon You are, could I Be your blood I build a fire A fire for you I‘ll take care of Care of of you Because I am I am made for you

BPD 07:10
I'm hoping my mind is not hurt I'm hoping my mind is not hurt Hearts on fire Rain and thunder No wonder A Lost romance A Lost romance I'm hoping my mind is not hurt I'm hoping my mind is not hurt Snakes and Lions Bikes from the 70's And L E D 's A lost romance A lost romance

Drunk on the dark streets in your city It is late, I am lost Where did I cross the line I need a little something different Give me a little Just a little bit of you I need a little something different Give me a little Just a little bit of you Give me a bit Just a little bit A little bit of you Where did I cross the line In times of loneliness and vain I need you to kill my pain

Noir 05:07
Noir explores the dark side I know it since I‘m young Romance is poetry In colors You fill my eyes with darkness And I enjoy the silence Noir explores the dark side Words resonating in my brain Loud and calm Revealing , disappearing With the night into the space Nightmarish mad reality Monochromatic colors Noir explores the dark side My eyes filled with blindness It is like an illness Noir explores the dark side Romance will fuse broken shadows With a burst of neon light Romance is a poetry Stormy, dark & fiery Romance moves over resistance I know it since I am young Romance is a poetry Stormy, Dark & fiery
