xenlab… is an Independent Thinker

An epic mix that puts many left-field dance tracks at the fore front, and combines it with a touch of Venetian Snares insanity. Great progression and journey, as well as tracks that ‘talk about each other’, when you read between the lines. One of my all-time favorite mixes.

xenlab proudly presents Tek Hop - Volume 2. More Glitch-Hop madness for your ass. It starts off a little more melancholy than the last mix, but will drive home the bacon and fry it up in the pan before its through.

Tek Hop - Volume 1

Gary Coleman With 'The Postal' Bitches

In the early 00’s, I really got into a new sound that was starting to emerge. It was pioneered by the likes of Machine Drum and Prefuse 73, and many referred to it as Glitch-Hop. I was especially enamored when classic 80s rap tracks were given this treatment. The resulting love of this genre spawned three mixes. This is Volume 1.
