XNX is the production alias of New Zealand artist MC Woody, created as an outlet for his most experimental and forward-thinking drum & bass. As XNX, Woody pushes beyond the role of MC into full-scale production, remixing and sound design, blending futuristic atmospheres, heavy breakbeats and cinematic layers with his trademark vocal textures.
Central to the vision of Woodysworld Records, XNX material often appears in exclusive dubplate sets and all-original showcases, reinforcing the label’s immersive “Woodyverse” concept. His productions are designed as much for narrative as for the dancefloor, merging high-fidelity sound design with story-driven aesthetics. This approach has been showcased through projects like Battle of the Planets, where XNX operates as both producer and creative lead within the collective.
Through the XNX alias, Woody demonstrates his versatility as an artist, evolving from one of New Zealand’s most recognisable drum & bass MCs into a producer with a distinctive and ambitious sonic identity. The project continues to expand, offering a glimpse into the future direction of both Woodysworld Records and Woody’s own artistic journey.
