Bio

X.S.I is a French trance project, made of 2 members, Dj Bio aka Jean- Marc SEGONDY & Dj Spawn aka Barthélémy BAYONA.
Born in Paris in 1978, Jean-Marc was only seven years old when he started playing around with his first synthesizer. By the time he was fifteen, he was already composing various styles of music. After having experimented with many genres of electronic music including house and techno, he began to play trance at parties in Paris as DJ Bio.
Barth was born in St Barthélémy, Guadeloupe in 1984, a French island in the Carribean. He Started dj'ing in friend's parties at the age of 13 years old, as well as playing the guitar. He later came to Paris to study computer engineering, which he was very passionate about. Barth then quickly merged both of his passions, computers and music, and started producing Psy Trance in 2003.
In 2002, Jean Marc and Barth met in the Gibus Club — an infamous Parisian underground club scene where the likes of Daft Punk and Bob Sinclar also emerged from. Both were resident dj's at that time in the club.
After having played together for over one year as DJ's, they decided to take it one step further and to create a trance project together called XSI. ----- The first XSI album (‘Warning Zone’, released on Mind Control Records) was very successful, leading to major bookings in some of the biggest international trance events such as XXXperience in Brazil, Arcadia, and Action in Japan, Freedom Festival in Portugal, Beat Patrol in Austria. They’ve also played in many other countries such as Mexico, Switzerland, Germany, India, Serbia, Russia, Spain, Nepal, England and many more....They released 2 more successful albums, XSI & Friends on Phantasm records, and a collaboration album as TALAMASCA vs XSI, released on Mind Control Records in 2009.After having collaborated with many different artists such as Mad Maxx, Nomad, Massive, Quality Sound, John Phantasm, Talamasca and many more, their music quickly evolved into the mature and experienced sound they give us today. They have remixed many artists including Robert Miles “Children” and Astrix “Sex Style”. Their new vision for the future includes a mix of many different styles and emotions- all delivered with their polished production.
They also produce and release electro house as French Faction
Jean Marc is also the face behind the new project BIONIX. After having released his first solo album TECHNOID, early 2010 on Mind Control Records.
