Tim Xavier

With close to a decade releasing his signature techno sound, which has taken him around the world, Tim Xavier has expertly amalgamated the brightest moments from his past with his latest offering. Viperfish places him at the forefront of contemporary techno music where fellow Berlin heavyweights Marcel Dettmann and Ben Klock currently reign supreme. A vastly diverse album, Viperfish transcends most records coming out in today's world of techno. Comprised of a collection of top-notch live studio sessions, Xavier gently takes us through the cerebral trickery of "Ambient Duality" and "Sonic Duality," all the way to the immensely catchy, unrelenting loops of "Urban Survival" and "Uplift the Ghetto," tracks that will find a home in many DJs' record boxes this summer. Xavier explores the darker sounds, accompanied by a guiding light that will attract listeners who are usually scared away by techno's cold facade.
