Xylon
Drawing inspiration from the ancient Greek word meaning “the one from the forest,” xylon channels the spirit of nature and its abundant vitality through sound.

Embracing the tactile essence of vinyl, xylon curates sets filled with niche selections and rare finds, bringing an organic and deeply personal energy to his performances. He is also exploring the intersection of music production and live performance, crafting immersive moments that go beyond the conventional DJ format.

Beyond his solo endeavors, xylon is an active member of collectives such as Cheaper Than Therapy and THUR, where he continues to experiment and contribute to the region’s evolving electronic music community. His journey has already taken him to esteemed clubs across Asia—including Mihn, OMA, OIL Club, and Saloon—with plans to expand his footprint even further.

With a humble yet passionate approach, xylon continues to refine his craft and deepen his connection to sound—sharing his love for music with dancefloors both near and far.
