"Photograpsy shows the more agressive side of SXtheMadArtist's musical production, establishing itself into this powerful trance genre, more related to the wild side of nature than to rave parties urban environments. Enjoying Photograpsy depends entirely on how much of our primal instincts are we ready to let loose. If there is a word to describe the work of SXtheMadArtist, not only her music but also her visual designs, it probably is 'lush'. The Cypriot artist has no containment at all when it comes to fill the canvas, wether it is musical or visual, with all the colours and sounds she is able to pull out of her personal creative universe. This EP is a good example: the four themes part of it are rich, thick and shiny. Far from the Nordic austerity, there is a mediterranean character in Stalo Xinaris' music. Not in the composition itself, but it is there in the carelessness and the ease to fill the silence with all the imaginable sounds." .... Visit article for more

“Stalo Xinari, the person behind SXtheMadArtist, is a polifacetic artist from Nicosia (Cyprus). Her creative field includes paint, digital art design, photography, video-art and, of course, electronic music production. As a composer, producer and Dj, Xinari has a huge fan base in social networks. Specially to them, she released in 2012 the EP SX in HrZland, online and free. It has three themes, representative of her downtempo style (although in other works Stalo is closer to dub and dance music). The first track, the long 'Volcanos and rivers', has a quasi-ambient beginning over which gently appear a repetitive sequence and the rythmic base. Without developing any recognisable melody, the theme earns deepness with the superposition of pads layers. In general, it is in the same line as Aes Dana, for instance, although it doesn't reach the structural complexity so common in the musician from Lyon." .... Visit the article for more”

“Included in this compilation is Dub-I’s “Rididub Master” in a new extended version, serving not only as a musical flashback to our first release, but also as a starting point for the dubs to follow, while the jazz/ambient tracks of Hernibernie and SXtheMadArtist (the cover art designer of the release) are perhaps at the highest innovation point. Knoto manages to strip a famous reggae song down to its basic beat elements keeping the melody as a sweet buzz in your head. Daidalos One offers an atmospheric intermission, Ras Robbin Denis fuses an ethnic/ambient feel, Dub Across Borders blips and clicks, Negro Pirana dubs the blues, Mr Mefistou builds up slowly a dubbed step, Green Glow steps it up, Twixymillia rewinds it, while Dub Riots, Roots Dubbing Project, The Dubbstyle, Rakoon and Red Barrio transform irie melodies into experimental dubscapes.”

“Usually Synergetic Records is a reliable source for quality Psytrance and Psy Prog music. This release turns out to be from the Experimental Electronics / Break Beat genre – but still it has the synergetic essence: Fresh and uplifting, psychedelic and mind-bending without ever getting taxing for the listener. (On Pale Hazy Daze EP release)”

“Her sounds and paintings are already famous in Cyprus and it is outstanding what deep feeling she have got in here sounds and pictures. Radio shows, music production, compilations and paintings are just the top of the activities of her and we gonna keep stay in tune and follow this story.”

“Stalo ‘SXtheMadArtist’ Xinari is a polymath artist who works in painting, digital design, photography, video, DJing, and (last but not least) music production. Her tracks run the gamut of experimental electronics from chilly downtempo to ambient pseudo-industrial, and all points in between.”

“Cyprus producer SXtheMadArtist is back with her 5 tracker EP “Plain Sentiment” which is again a taste for your ear & mind. Sensitively produced everything what she takes into consideration seems to result in pure and fine atmospheric downtempo tracks. But it also contains beat-driven tracks still in a chilly mood.”

“Female producer SXtheMadArtist is back on Synergetic Records. She presents her EP “Pale Hazy Daze” holding 3 previous unreleased and exclusive tracks of downbeat and Electronica music ! Very special, very deep and unique again as we know her since her last release.”

“The female newcomer “SXtheMadArtist” shows up with her debut EP “Parallel Instability” featuring 5 unreleased ambient-derived sound creations and melanges. She crafted an amazing release with a pure sense of trippy elements and enormous feeling for music structures to build new sonic worlds.”

“Her psychill music, which is really atmospheric and filled with evolving organic layers backed by rich harmonies, make her one of a kind artist.”

“Stalo Xinari aka‘SXtheMadArtist’ is a young, talented and very passionate artist from Cyprus.”

“This compilation has been compiled by SXtheMadArtist. The Cypriot Lady who is a Queen of Electronica.”
