STRIKE 113CD
|
This is the long-awaited debut album from Germany's Xenia Beliayeva. Since her first releases on Anthony Rother's Datapunk label, Xenia Beliayeva developed a certain style that she has now mastered. Her first album on T.Raumschmiere's Shitkatapult sets a landmark in the terrain of today's dance music: cool, dark, electronic. Tracks like "New Day," "Satellite," "Mind Damage" or the title-track "Ever Since" work far beyond the boundaries of club music and reach out to a larger audience. Combined with a futuristic style of love and shadows, Xenia Beliayeva puts this album, produced by mastermind André Winter, in the tradition of dark wave/pop music by the likes of Sisters Of Mercy, Human League, Soft Cell and others. Xenia, born in Moscow, lives in Hamburg nowadays and fits in the actual Shitkatapult roster perfectly alongside a number of electronic music artists that are oriented towards the idea of songwriting -- far more than just making tracks.

STRIKE 111EP

Xenia's co-producer André Winter adds a special, tripping magic, while Ezequiel Sanchez delivers a cool, basic tech-house remix. Detroit Grand Pubahs' broken club mix sticks to the pop vein of the track and emphasizes the dark side of Xenia's aesthetics.

NOTO 020EP
|
"Very direct and convincing lyrics which totally fits the music as it is an excellent track, both groovy and energetic. Fat and heavy beat follow the dark order of Miss Beliayeva: 'You better get your body on the floor' and if you don't, she'll send the Russian mafia. Get it? Andreas Henneberg Remix is a sharp minimal hit, perfect for a party highlight, while Gino's and Snakes touch totally recognizable brings a nice tech-house accent to the track. Already played by: Dave Clark, Kiko, Oliver Huntemann, Chloé , Da FreSH, Ascii Disco, Tom Wax, Martin Eyerer, Solee & Codec.

DTP 014EP

Russian Xenia BeliayevaIt is the first female to take her place at Datapunk. With these two tracks, she bridges the crossover point between heavy bassline electrotech and industrial percussions with vocals that resonate beyond nightclub dancefloors. "Ultra Glamour" addresses the aggression that fashion dictates, while "Nanotubes" deals with nanotechnology. But don't be put off, Beliayeva wants to do one thing, which is to rock. On this note, prepare yourself for the Data-girl!
