Born and raised in England's Black Country, Simon Owen is part of an exciting new wave of electronic artists emerging from the Birmingham underground. Co-founder of the Xenophorm label, he is currently producing for and managing the brands two record labels (Xenophorm Records & xe:tech:no), whilst also holding the position of Chief Engineer at Xenophorm Studios in the heart of the second city.

A musician of notable talent from an early age, his debut single - unex, was released worldwide as part of the XTK#001 EP in 2006. This was followed by a full-length production album 'The rainbow that set the sky on fire' in 2007 and a continuing string of successful single releases on the xe:tech:no label. As Chief Engineer of Birmingham's prominent Xenophorm Studios he has been silently responsible for many of the hot tracks on the city's thriving Grime & urban scenes, whilst regularly maintaining his popular monthly podcast 'theLAB Sessions'.

As a DJ he has entertained crowds around the country for nearly a decade with his trademark styles of groove-licked Techno & heart-wrenching Soul at events such as Elektrik Munkey, Osmosis, Alternation, Sub-Culture, Warpandwoof and the Xenophorm/Alternation joint venture - PhormAtion.

Born in Birmingham UK and raised in the heart of the Black Country, Simon's early childhood was spent, as it is with most DJ's and Musicians - surrounded by the sounds of his parents record collection. From this developed a taste for a quite ridiculous array of music, and thusly a keen sense of the poetic power inflicted by playing the right record, at the right time.

 


Originally an accomplished swing and orchestral musician, Simon started experimenting with basic computer based music production around late 1998 and naturally found his calling in
Birmingham’s underground dance scene at nights such as the famous Atomic Jam & House of God. Breeding a love for the raw energy and possibilities of the soul of the machine, he began DJ’ing Techno in his loft (fondly dubbed ‘the Lab’ - the inspiration behind the podcast...) and at as many parties that would accommodate him.


In 2003 Simon moved to Guildford to study at the Vestax DJ Academy, part of the
Academy of Contemporary Music, where he excelled and received a distinction in Professional Music Production. This later led to a Batchelor of Science degree in Music Technology with Honours from Staffordshire University in 2007.
