Since his first release in 1995, Olivier Raymond, a.k.a Oxia, has been at the cutting edge of the French techno scene. Together with his friend The Hacker, they run record label Goodlife, which has helped regenerate the sound of French production. As well as his own label, Oxia has also had a slew of techno releases on Intec, Phont, Monoïd. In January this year he released his debut album "24 Heures".
"24 Heures" effortlessly spans the spectrum of electronica from the spacial melodic electro of "Le Temps", through the driving and moody 4/4 of "Reflexion", the Berlin styled tech-dub of "Intuition", Detroit style elecro "TNN", to the storming dancefloor techno of "FlashBack", "Hasard" and "The Night". In true Oxia style the album is one that satisfies the dancefloor and the home listener.
To celebrate the release of "24 Heures", Oxia has embarked on a massive tour. Catch him in your city, and soak up the techno and electro sounds!
