x/o is Veron Xio; the Vietnamese-Canadian electronic music producer, and multidisciplinary artist based in Vancouver. 

In 2022, five years after releasing their debut EP ‘Cocoon Egg’ on experimental UK label Quantum Natives, x/o follows up with LP ‘Chaos Butterfly’ on the Berlin label Precious Metals. The project is an epic tale of catharsis and self-actualization explored through metamorphosis. It is a free-falling kaleidoscopic journey into a beautiful nightmare, both cataclysmic and tender with critics describing it as:

“…nu-metal and trip-hop influenced, experimental-leaning sounds within…haunting Evanescence-style vocals and jungle-influenced percussion…This is a multi-dimensional release.” –Resident Advisor

“…the breakthrough of hard-hitting and ethereal.” –Still Listening

“…end-of-level boss energy.” –Loud & Quiet

x/o has presented work internationally, (Listen Festival, 3HD Festival, and MUTEK Montreal) and in 2019 was selected for the MUTEK Amplify residency at Somerset House Studios UK, as well as Red Bull Bass Camp Calgary at the National Music Centre.
