“In this mix, I’ve used 15 tracks that I love to play at the moment, and that represents well what you can hear in my sets most recently. Quite melodic on the whole, but things are also rather groovy. With of course my recent releases, in this case, the Black Circle remix of our track with Nicolas Masseyeff ‘Connivence’, as well as our rework, released in October on our label Diversions Music. And also released in October, my remix for Dense & Pika on their label Kneaded Pains.” – OXIA
OXIA is one France’s most respected DJs and producers, with a career spanning over twenty years and intensive touring on all continents. He has built an impressive list of releases and remixes on respected imprints such as Kompakt, Knee Deep In Sound, Hot Creations, All Day I Dream, Sapiens, Bedrock, 8bit… In addition to his own label Diversions Music.
After several EPs, 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 on Infine. 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 released 5 EPs.
In 2017, OXIA’s classic “Domino” was re-released on Agoria’s label, Sapiens, and came with a number of very successful remixes. In parallel, OXIA himself released a few remixes, notably for Moby (Suara), and others on Moan, 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 Sound’s Ibiza 2018 Sampler. His touring schedule is taking him across the globe, from the intimate clubs to the festivals, and for the fifth consecutive year, playing for Music On at Amnesia Ibiza.
2019 saw more releases following, starting with ‘Second Mood EP’ on Diversions Music. Then a collaboration with Artslaves on Deeperfect, a remix of John Digweed & Nick Muir’s track “Satellite” on Bedrock, and a remix of Black Circle’s track on Radiant. OXIA plays for Cercle, and his live-streamed performance has exceeded one million views in a few days.
In 2020, Oxia’s remix for his longtime friend Agoria, “All Over You” feat. Sacha Rudy (Sapiens) was met with great critical success. He also released two remixes on Diversions Music.
2021 starts with a remix of Joseph Capriati’s ‘Beautiful Morning’ (from JC’s ‘Metamorfosi’ album Redimension). This was followed by a collaboration with Yannick Baudino, ‘Shadows’ on All Day I Dream Summer Sampler. Then a remix for Julian Millan on Diversions Music in October. In December OXIA draws on his inexorable experience and unbridled creativity to deliver a strikingly nuanced underground groovy techno cut ‘Fate’, on Diversions, with remixes by Dense & Pika and Matt Sassari. Out in December as well, an OXIA remix for the French electro-pop artist Delaurentis.
OXIA starts 2022 with a remix for Popof’s ‘Serenity’ on Form Music. And continue in October with a remix of Dense & Pika’s track “Apache” on their label Kneaded Pains. Then, also in October, a remix EP of the track “Connivence”. Six years after the creation of their label Diversions Music, OXIA and Nicolas Masseyeff have decided to have remixes of one of the iconic tracks from the label’s first release. “Connivence” is therefore remixed by their friends, talented artists Kiko, Black Circle and Super Flu, plus a rework.
