About
I make music that I find interesting. I don't base any musical decisions around what is the "in" sound or style at the moment, I just know what I like and what I find interesting and I find ways to try and transition that into something unique for you to listen to and enjoy. I enjoy playing music that people like and have fun listening to. Some of it is club oriented, but some is just to chill to. Therefore, it's difficult to pigeon hole me into one particular style or genre. My biggest inspirations come from 80's hip-hop and rap producers, early electronic producers and the bedroom dj's that flood the internet blogs and YouTube with their original work.
I have been dj'ing professionally for over 12 years, first in Vancouver, Canada, then in London, UK and throughout Europe. Currently I am again based in Vancouver and am producing and remixingtracks for various electronic acts from around the world.
TWSU - Technology Will Save Us is my new record label and you can look forward to upcoming original releases from that in the early part of 2010. We have recently signed two other artists, funky minimalist Doc Martin, and up and coming bassline dj, Doogie Wowza.

What the world is saying about my music?
"iamxl takes Lennong to Baltimore by way of the Bee Gee's, making a bright song bounce for the dancefloor" - Rollingstone.com
"iamxl has been putting in the hard work over the past few months with some strong remixes. He constantly picks different but quality tracks including Deadmau5's‘Faxing Berlin’, Sook Yin Lee's ‘Beautiful Day’ and now Joy Division's ‘Atmosphere’.I’ve heard a few dj’s have a stab at Joy Division and fall short, or just create such an obscure track it would be difficult to actually mix with. This time he holds the anonymous mystery beat behind the track and throws a smooth but glitchy layer all over it". - Stoneyroads.com
"...this particular recontextualization captures the dichotomy of vacant and endless emotion of the original. The bubbly bassline retains hopelessness and despair with the help of vast echoes and a feeling of great uncertainty." - Manalogue
3 time featured artist Promo Tuesday - The House Depot "I'll post your shit all day long Jon... You consistently put out original material that is ill-funky fresh and dripping with flavor." - Miami Vice (housedepot.net)
"iamxl always drops sick beats" - Tracklayer
"very hot rework" - Get Weird Turn Pro
"killer track..."- White Folks Get Crunk
"iamxl bringin' up the bpms and killin' it." - Schitz Popinov
About Joy Division - Atmosphere (iamxl remix)...
Featured on France's Les Inrocks PodCast vol. 21
"Who wants to feel like they're tripping their face off? I've got the perfect way for you to do so and have no repercussions of a terrible come down! Not sure what water they're drinking in Canada, but send us some! My mind is officially warped." - SheenaBeaston.com
"While it’s difficult to imagine any of the band’s songs remixed, this particular recontextualization captures the dichotomy of vacant and endless emotion of the original. The bubbly bassline retains hopelessness and despair with the help of vast echoes and a feeling of great uncertainty." - Manalogue
Promo Pick of the Week 28/03/09 - "After his Faxing Berlin remix hit the Billboard dance charts the Vancouver DJ set about remixing this classic. This track is warped to say the least! Good for a late night stroll with the headphones." - Best of House
About Faxing Berlin 2009...
"Come closer and take a deep breath of this very fetching piece of sound. Berlin can be as uncomfortable and raw as a fucking sombre forest. But on the other hand Berlin also can caress you as gently as a balmy breeze. And this track is exactly such like a balmy breeze. Come closer and take a deep breath."- The Fast Life
"iamxl’s unique touches to the tune breathe new life into it..." - D Squared
"an absolute must-have Boooomb!" - Tommy Trash (Australia)
"...morçeau de la semaine. Superbe remix d'une chanson déjà géniale!" - Streetkiss Music
