X-Statik
(e`c-sta`ti`k)
adj.
1. Marked by or expressing ecstasy.
2. Being in a state of ecstasy; joyful or enraptured.
3. To cause ecstacy.
In a scene where young DJs come and go, it is extremely exciting to see someone as talented as X-Statik working as hard as he is. Classically trained on the piano, X-Statik's love affair with harder sounds began when he was introduced to the stylings of commercial dance from a young age. Eventually, as he developed an ear for music created for the feet, he also started exploring other similar genres. This was when the man stumbled across Hard Trance.
It all stemmed from years of playing around with dance music on his PC, mixing the mp3s he had into mix compilations. On his 18th Birthday he purchased a set of decks and began practising. It wasn't long before the man had mastered the rather technical art of beat mixing, and at the tender age of 19 in the year 2004, X-Statik was notified he was to play his very first Melbourne gig, at the insanely popular Friday night club 3D, on September the 24th.
Important people began to take notice of the wiz-kid, with Mr. X's talent propelling him from bedroom DJ to Melbourne club-scene favourite. Within the short amount of time he’s been playing, X-Statik has spun the wheels of steel at parties including the infamous Advent*jah 2005 at Kryal Castle, where he was privileged to share and play on the mainstage, Pharmacy, Sunshine People on New Years Day, Digital Music Festival, G.O.D, Transmission, Trance Urban, One Perfect Fest, Reason, Godskitchen Recovery Party, Christmas Kandy, Fixation vs. Trauma and Pyscopation. Then there are the club spots, including 3D @ CBD, PHD, Hard Kandy, Trauma, Elevation, Bubble, Duel, Krankin' and Dream, all absolute pioneers in not only Melbourne's dance music culture, but the countries. Plus there were the brilliant final placing's in DJ Competitions, including a 2nd placing for Scattered and a Residency Qualification for Elevation. Not bad for a young tyke barely scrapping at 20.
Recently X-Statik completed a tour of Malaysia playing at two HardSequence events, one in KL and one in Johor. He claims it was a fantastic experience and is looking forward to more traveling.
Not many people who've been playing for such a short time, and at such a young age, can make claim they've played alongside Local heroes such as Jewelz, Hellraiser, St. Luke, Jason Midro, Scott Alert, Andy Golden, Otek and Soul-T, or that they've supported international superstars such as The Warp Brother, M.I.K.E. Push, Cosmic Gate, Dumonde, Breeze & Styles, Jon O' Callaghan, Randy Katana, Chris Liberator, The Geezer, Dave Lea, Scott Bond and Dave Joy. X-Statik can, and with a list so impressive, it's quite unbelievable to realize that it is indeed only the beginning for him.
Mixing up a storm amongst different sub-genres in the dance scene, X-Statik's been known to play - and love - Hard Trance, Hard Dance, NRG, Hi NRG, Uplifting Trance, Hardstyle and even a bit of banging Techno. From the hardest of Hardstyle, to the most uplifting melodic Trance, he’s constantly taking the punters through a musical journey - just a small reason as to why he's a firm favourite in Australia's dance music scene.
With the brightest of beams shining down on his future, he is looking forward to touring overseas to not only travel and see the worlds sights, but more importantly, to share his undeniably brilliant talent of mixing up a storm with punters all over. With his piano training firmly under the belt, he's also excited at the prospect of incorporating a live synth with his sets, with the possibility of production somewhere along the wondrous road of the beyond. X-Statik's magnetism, on stage charisma and musical charm has firmly placed his feet well into the foundations of Australia's Hard Trance scene, with many clubbers across the country finding his sets not only incredibly rewarding, but full of power and packed with spunk.
Pure ecstasy in the form of a DJ. You really can’t go wrong there can you?
