The story behind the traveler

The story of XXTRIKER begins long before the crossings. Phelipe Nogueira de Lima entered music at the age of 9 through marching bands. By 13, he had performed in orchestras and shared the stage with renowned artists including conductor João Carlos Martins and Maestro Piska. After stepping away from that path, he rediscovered his passion in the trance scene, producing events before beginning his journey as a DJ and producer.

Created in 2019, when Hardtek still occupied little-explored territory in the Brazilian electronic scene, XXTRIKER was among the national projects to embrace this direction early. After its first cycle and a period away from the main timeline, the project returns more mature, cinematic and connected to its own identity.

Read the full story

To define the experience of his sets, Phelipe created the Progressive Hard concept. Not as a fixed genre, but as a dance-floor language combining the narrative development of Progressive Trance, different branches of psytrance and the explosive energy of Hardtek and hard music. This journey can follow a Psy-to-Hard trajectory: it begins in psychedelic atmospheres, crosses increasing levels of intensity and reaches heavier territories without breaking the continuity of the trip. The first collaborations of this new phase still carry a strong psytrance influence and this transitional approach; future original productions will deepen the concept until it develops a sonic identity of its own.

XXTRIKER is also an audiovisual project conceived by Phelipe. A large part of its releases will be accompanied by music videos, visualizers and visual narratives created by the artist himself. Music and image are born as parts of the same journey: each track records frequencies from a visited universe, while each visual piece reveals its atmosphere, landscapes and events.

In the XXTRIKER Universe, Phelipe becomes a traveler crossing galaxies, alternate universes and divergent timelines in search of frequencies that do not exist in our reality. Every set opens a passage. Every release reveals a new world. On the dance floor or on screen, emotional melodies, futuristic atmospheres and explosive energy turn separate realities into one collective experience. This is the main timeline of the XXTRIKER Universe. The future is not coming. It is already playing.
