The floating island has moved. From broken accelerated beats to deep house. Solitude is XRS Land first EP on this new path. It is the result of a music production rerouting. The ambiences and melodies have the scent of fading away: elusive, airy, blue, and at the same time very evolving.

XRS Land has been featured on the excellent brazilian site Deepbeep.

The young paulistana Lika Marques crossed the Atlantic and lived in the UK for a couple of years. This trajectory, up and north, then back down to the tropics, debugged her forever. Away from her homeland, she found her breakbeats coming from inside, head and heart. Back home, she sends these sounds back to where they’re from: deep in the underground.

Someday they will come. An island is not real until the pirates come. We hope there is a DJ among them, mixing old with new, sweet with sour, bubbles with quotes, and, minimally, two letters of the alphabet. (Inspired on ”Divagações Sobre Ilhas” of Carlos Drummond de Andrade).
