(1) Xentrix was a British thrash metal band of the late 1980s/early 1990s hailing from Preston, Lancashire.

They had a small bit of controversy/publicity surrounding the release of the Ray Parker Jr. cover Ghostbusters in which the original artwork for the single had an unauthorised use of the Ghostbusters logo. The single was subsequently re-released using a different cover.

The band broke up after the release of Kin and reformed after a period of inactivity with a new vocalist in Simon Gordon and guitarist Andy Rudd to replace Chris Astley. This line up released 1996’s Scourge only.

The band briefly reformed with its original line-up for a small number of dates in the UK in the early part of 2006. One of these shows included support from Onslaught (band) and Evile. In September 2006 it was announced that the band was splitting up with no intention of reforming in the future.

Years active 1986 — 1996,

In 1995 , jean louis kollash introduced him to the sampling and midi technics , 2 years later they got their first record deal with antwerp based label minimalistix. After some releases under different quality labels techno labels such as:(RELOAD,NEWS,PORNOGRAPHIC,BIPOLAR) he started to work at AUDIOPOLIS record store together with a friend PRAXYD(strobe music) while releasing some tracks under a variety of other labels and continually djing all over belgium and outside (czrep,estonia,germany,spain,holland,france,austria,portugal....) In 2002 ,he launched his own label KROMA RECORDINGS distributed by audiopolis group together with a friend and excellent producer soulpreacher ( ludwig buez) focusing on groovy side of techno. The label enjoyed support from famous international artists like Dave Clarke,Marco zaffarano ,veztax,space dj'z,tomaz,..to name a few. While the market was being flooded with monoton loop oriented technohe decided to explore new horizons more refined and profound and MATT HEIZE was born.

(3) Xentrix is a also a twenty seven year old self taught Drum and Bass producer from Lampeter in West Wales. After DJing at events from 2001 onwards, it was April 2008 he decided to turn his hand to producing. Having never used any form of music production equipment before he spent the first year learning and experimenting, then creating a constant stream of material month after month.

He was first introduced to Drum and Bass at the age of 13 with Goldie’s ‘Timeless’, and then 2 years later with Roni Size album ‘New Forms’. Having elements of his tracks compared to ‘New Forms’, he feels this is high praise for this stage in his career.

Enjoying the organic sound of real instruments, XentriX takes influence from every genre and era of music.Listening to a wide variety from thrash metal to jazz, he feels with his tracks he is “Working one genre inside another”.

In mid 2009 he started to have airplay on internet radio shows, originating in the UK, Portugal and the US. Quickly building a growing fan base.
