About Me

Amadou Isaacs / Xan, is a Vancouver based sound guerrilla who draws his inspiration from cyberpunk nihilism spliced with epic themes steeped in mysticism.

Xan’s first EP: The Adolescence of Mars features a number of artistic collaborations, including vocalists Leah Martin and Justine Ross, who deliver delicately crafted, darkly beautiful songs over viciously dirty & infectious rhythms.

The video “A Black Night” was animated by Crystalbeard Collective artist Ben Jacques, and takes place in an extra dimensional alien 8 bit world. Xan has been featured on several broadcast such as CBC Radio 3 and college radio stations such as CiTR’s long running Shadow Jugglers, as well as performing at the outdoor electronic festivals Shambhala.
