Toronto’s XI has quickly become a rising star in the city’s electronic music scene. His eclectic taste and approach to bass-driven beats has landed him on the bill with Prodigy LIVE and Pendulum LIVE, as well as headlining slots across Canada & the USA.

In terms of production, XI already has a number of releases under his belt on both the solo and collaborative tip including work with Dub War’s Juakali, fellow Canadian producer DZ and tracks under the Loetech moniker alongside friend and Toronto producer Bombaman, to name a few.

I’ve known XI for a while now and he’s as stand-up as they come. He does this for the love of music and you can tell when you see or hear him play.

You can catch XI online weekly on STREAMIZM every Tueday at 9pm EST. He’s on a bit of a West Coast tour at the moment so check his Myspace for gigs near you.

Come check XI this Saturday at SMOG Sessions starring alongside Dub War icon Joe Nice, past Media Contender featured artist, Juakali, San Francisco’s The Spit Brothers, Smog resident DLX and the host with the most, Kemst.

He passed us a tune for your audible pleasure. Enjoy!
