They are best known for their single "White And Alive", a hit on the Deutsche Alternative Charts in 2002,[1] and "Rockin' Silver Night" and "Dead Body", DAC hits in 2006.[2]

History

Jeyênne started in the German dance music scene as a hiphop DJ in 1987, later moving to techno.[3][4] He started recording under his own name in 1992.

In 1995 he met former member Nicque and formed XPQ-21 as a duo. They released their first single "A Gothic Novel" in 1998 and their album Destroy To Create in 1999.[5]

Nicque left in 2003 and the band since then has been Jeyênne with backing members.[6] Live members have included Annelie Bertilsson (Cat Rapes Dog, And One) who first replaced Nicque,[7] Martin Hillebrand, Moritz Zielke and Alex Gsell.[8]

Instruments

Jeyênne combines analogue synthesizers (Korg Monopoly, Roland 909, Roland 303) with digital sequencing on Apple Macintosh, typically working in Logic Pro, now Ableton Live.[3]

Related activities

Jeyênne has run EMS (Electronic Music School) in Cologne since 2010 and Berlin since 2011.[9]

Name

The name "XPQ-21" was originally the title of a song, as "a combination of letters that mean a lot to me ... it was the first hit/club hit, and later we thought: 'Okay, let's make it a band name.'"[10]
