Discovering XELA: A Haunting Audio Odyssey

Steeped in the lore of old horror film soundtracks and influenced by an array of unorthodox musical geniuses, XELA stands as a maestro of the modern electronic music scene. Born Alex Go, the British artist XELA, currently based in Malden, Massachusetts, has crafted a distinctive career in music production, intricately weaving constructed beats with smart melodies and elements of ambient, drone, and folk music.

As the founder of the Type record label and a former writer for Boomkat, XELA has not only played a vital role in the creation and curation of electronic beats but has also embarked on an idiosyncratic journey through a variety of styles and moods, from IDM to the more atmospheric doom and noise inspired by dark cinema and mythology.

His seminal work In Bocca Al Lupo, is a prime example of his growth as an artist. Comprising four lengthy tracks intended as a single piece, XELA dives deep into funeral music that's both discomforting and loud, evoking the darker aspects of Christian dogma and mythology.
