Amadou Isaacs / Xan, is a Vancouver based sound guerrilla who draws his inspiration from cyberpunk nihilism spliced with epic themes steeped in mysticism.
Xan's first EP: The Adolescence of Mars features a number of artistic collaborations, including vocalists Leah Martin and Justine Ross, who deliver delicately crafted, darkly beautiful songs over viciously dirty & infectious rhythms.
The video "A Black Night" was animated by Crystalbeard Collective artist Ben Jacques, and takes place in an extra dimensional alien 8 bit world. Xan has been featured on several broadcast such as CBC Radio 3 and college radio stations such as CiTR's long running Shadow Jugglers, as well as performing at the outdoor electronic festivals Shambhala.
"We all admire the spangled acrobat with classical grace meticulously walking his tight rope in the talcum light; but how much rarer art there is in the sagging rope expert wearing scarecrow clothes and impersonating a grotesque drunk! I should know." (Vladimir Nabokov) Thank you for your friendship! Musical greetings from Munich/Germany! Feel free to download my music!
