■ Tim Xavier (Clink, Ltd400)

Tim Xavier’s passion for music has kept him on the forefront of techno since his innovative releases a decade ago on Blueline. His incomparable, diverse production has transcended through the maturation of alternative dance music, and his dark, edgy sound has somehow remained in tact through his evolution. His current minimal/techno hybrid sound is featured on labels like Clink, Limited400 and Cocoon. He is the owner and chief engineer at Manmade Mastering in Berlin, and this sleepy-eyed coffee addict defines cool as he cuts master plates for many respected labels such as Spectral Sound, Wagon Repair, Minus, Mobilee, and B-Pitch.

Tim also plays a significant roll in the Clink and Limited400 label family, mastering all of the audio for each imprint and maintaining the labels profile as one of its premier artists. Limited400 is his solo production project that has been reignited in 2009, where he personally stencils his signature icon on a limited number of copies per release. He also collaborates with Tony Rohr as the Afternoon Coffee Boys, and with one of their genre’s leading ladies, Camea, on various projects. Tim has an impressive discog of over 45 other releases out and a plethora of remixes, and his music has consistently received DJ support from all-stars like Richie Hawtin, Loco Dice, Magda, Ricardo Villalobos and many more.

Whether performing Live or DJing, Tim creates an unforgettable experience with his maximal sound quality and hip, underground music selection. He has performed across the globe and carries events through peak hours with groovy, yet still driving, dance music. Ready to perform at any hour, for any length, Tim’s sets are diverse and he is a master of his craft. His relentless devotion to providing cutting edge audio continues to keep him in the upper echelon of artists, and as he continues to grow it is guaranteed that we have still yet to see the best of his work.
