In Interview with OXIA
Ever since his first EP in 1995, OXIA has prevailed as one of Franceâs most influent actors in the electronic music scene. He has built an impressive catalogue on respected imprints such as Kompakt, Hot Creations, 8bit, Knee Deep In Sound, and many more.
The Frenchman released his debut album 24 Heures on Goodlife in 2004 and his second widely acclaimed album Tides Of Mind was released in 2012. Several collaborations were established as well, with Miss Kittin, Agoria, or Nicolas Masseyeff.
With the latter, OXIA also launched Diversions Music in 2016, on which he has so far released three EPs. In 2017, OXIAâs classic hit âDominoâ (40 million views on YouTube) was re-released on Sapiens, and came with a number of very successful remixes. In parallel, OXIA himself released a few remixes, notably for Moby (Suara), as well as for others on Moan and of course Diversions Music.
2018 has been a strong year for OXIA with his Reset To Zero EP plus a remix on Diversions and a contribution to Knee Deep in Soundâs Ibiza 2018 Sampler. His touring schedule is taking him across the globe, from the intimate clubs to festivals such Resistance by ULTRA, B My Lake, Untold, BPM Portugal, Dreambeach, Brunch In The Park and, for the fifth consecutive year, playing for Music On at Amnesia Ibiza.
OXIA is gearing up to release his next EP titled Second Mood, which is scheduled to come out on March 1 via his burgeoning Diversions Music imprint. We sat down with the Frenchman to talk about the release and more, in our exclusive interview below.
