LANDO & XAVIER – Power House Rhythm Unit

FaceToFace presents “Power House Rhythm Unit” produced and written by Antaeus Lando Roy and Tim Xavier at MMM studios.

Lando & Xavier’s special bond through music has birthed a genuine and unique sound. Equal parts jacking, tough and sexy, these tracks capture the perfect balance of Lando’s raw funk filled sequencing, meshed with Xavier’s rhythmic drum work wizardry.

Back in 2010, Lando (a.k.a. Antaeus Lando Roy) relocated to Berlin, and the city has proven to be the perfect place for the native Californian to blossom. Strains of classic house, techno, acid, and electro have always coursed through his tracks, but the German capital has allowed Lando to filter his disparate influences through a distinct lens, one that favours pulsing basslines, trippy melodies, and machine-made funk.

Tim Xavier’s passion for music has kept him on the forefront of techno since his innovative releases on Blueline in Chicago a decade ago. His career began in Houston in the 90s, and then on to Chicago, Brooklyn and now Berlin, where he has resided since 2007. He is a veteran to the industry; and his dark, edgy production style has remained uncompromising through the ever changing genres of techno and house. He is also the owner of Face To Face Recordings and the owner / chief engineer at Manmade Mastering in Berlin; this sleepy-eyed coffee addict defines cool as he cuts master plates for many respected record labels.

All original works have been mastered at www.manmademastering.com in Berlin, recorded to dubplate @ 45rpm, re-recorded back to hard disc, and then re-maximized to achieve warm artefacts that only vinyl can produce.
