Biografie
Ximena works across DJing, production and vocals, with Controlla providing a platform for her own music and a wider circle of Mexican artists. Her collaborations with Ali X connect techno and house to Spanish- and English-language rap, while visual work is an important part of the project’s presentation. Their self-titled album treats individuality and artistic freedom as central themes, and its videos explore different relationships between choreography, imagery and music rather than following one narrative format. Alongside that partnership, Ximena has released through Roam Recordings, Octopus, Nein and Playground and works regularly with TH3OS. Pastillitas with Ali X and Pvlomo connects this collaborative practice to her Roam catalogue. Her performance history includes Renate, Sisyphos and Kater Blau in Berlin, as well as Mexico’s Bar Américas and Casa Cobra.
