Biografía
- With a career already spanning more than 15 years in the Dance music Industry, XRS is recognised as one of Brasil’s leading dance music producers, Label Owner, DJ, and Live Act. XRS’s music is infused with his trademark sound created entirely from Bras..It all began back in 1996, with the founding of his first project XRS Land he released his first EP called “From the Land to the City”. This project culminated in his debut album Sarau (released by Trama / Sambaloco in 1999), The Brazil EP (released by V Recordings in 2001), and the track LK (a remix of Toquinho and Jorge Ben Jor Brazilian classic “Carolina Carol Bela”) featured in the Top 20 of the UK’s official Top 40 singles chart in 2002. The inspiration for Sarau featured a lot of XRS’s childhood musical memories, which predominantly came from his father. His father even played a role on the album, singing and playing guitar on the track 'Só'. The whole album delivers a very sweet atmosphere, blending popular Brazilian music with Dance music in a way that isn't only dance-floor oriented, but it also includes a chilled out lounge style that brings forth images of a relaxed sunny afternoon at Cafe del Mar and as such can be listened to at any time and for any occasion. The leading track of that album is 'The Secrets of The Floating Island', which became famous thanks to its release on V Recording's "Brazil EP" and received massive support from DJs. Another track, 'Bom dia', was also released on the Sònar compilation of 2001. XRS has played in almost every continent, in festivals such as PercPan (Brazil), Sónar (Spain) and EXIT (Serbia), and clubs like The End (UK), The Womb (Japan), D-Edge (Brazil), Watergate (Germany), and Roxy (Czech Republic).̸Please visit http://www.xrsland.com/about/discography/ for full discography info.
