Tim Xavier

American techno DJ/Producer, Berlin Transplant who is also the mastering engineer at his own vinyl/audio mastering company, Mandmade Mastering.

Loved and respected by many, feared by some, Tim Xavier’s passionate personality and lifestyle have kept him on the forefront of techno since his first releases almost a decade ago. On the stage Tim is known for his undeniable talent as a once-hard techno mixer turned minimal trend-setter, playing a diverse blend of deep minimal, techno and house music with classic technical skills.

Behind the scenes Tim has made himself a great reputation as a mastering engineer doing mix-downs, digital and vinyl mastering for clients such as Wagon Repair, Spectral, Minus, and Clink. He has become an underground secret, a doctor of audio, and has had his hands on the output of many of our favorite artists.

As a producer Tim’s sound is admired, analysed and followed, with a personal style that is overflowing with maturity and fluent simplicity. He is a techno Beethoven, deep, dark and emotional, letting his tracks breathe by manipulating a few simple ideas in each experience.

Tim is noted for appearances on influential record labels ranging from Ellen Allien’s BPitch to Slam’s Soma to previously collaborating with Tony Rohr as the Afternoon Coffee Boys.
