Half DFXO + half Plague = One XL I started out in '89, writing and performing amongst friends in Folkestone before moving to London in '95, recording my first single for my own fledgling label Blood From Stone in '96. I formed a short-lived crew called Critical Mass the same year, before finally meeting Defisis and forming DFXO (DeFisis and XenO), at first recording with Mr Serve, before moving on with my own beats/production, releasing mixtapes, and then a (still unreleased) album with DJ Serious in Belgium. By 2001 we had joined the ranks of SFDB Records to release our first album Kill Ya Wiv a Demo, a selection of 6 tracks from our previous mixtape output. Defisis and Xeno featured on SFDB as DFXO on singles For Goodness Sakes, and the (unofficial) Hostyle MIA, then again as solo artists on the album Secondson & His Orchestra produced by Secondson, but no further DFXO material materialised. Defisis' final outing on SFDB was It's Like That while I teamed up with Secondson to record our first self-titled album as Plague. Officially retired since 2007, I returned to recording only in 2017 on a second Plague album called Where's the World Gone?, breaking a 10 year hiatus. Since then I have featured on Kasha Rae's single We Don't Play (The Cypher) and made an appearance on The Enjinz album Incredible Scenes Here!!! (Vengeance Spirits). Welcome to my hobby. XOLO is my first 'solo' release since '96; recorded during lockdown in 2020. More info at bloodfromstone.com
