Christiane White likes music an awful lot.

Oh, you want her to prove it? Here you go: First the vocalist for several bands - the most well known being The Violet Dawning - she entered the world of DJing five years ago and found that she liked it. Starting off as promoter for The Dawning in Charlottesville VA, she brought her extensive music collection to the DJ booth and started spinning regularly at the weekly event. Next up, she took over the reins of Subculture Shock, WNRN FM's Sunday night Gothic/Darkwave/Deathrock show, on Halloween of 2001. Subculture Shock is Central Virginia's only weekly Goth Rock radio show, and has faithful listeners all over the country via internet stream. She left Charlottesville for Baltimore MD in 2004, where she joined DJ Nekromantra in starting a new night for Deathrock and Psychobilly, Cryptkicker. She recently moved to Shelby NC, close to Charlotte and the SC border. She likes to travel!

Xiane has held the position of weekly resident DJ at The Dawning [Charlottesville VA] and Cryptkicker [Baltimore MD]. She was a DJ/promoter at Transmission and Interzone@R2 [Charlottesville VA]; she also spun as a guest several times at Corrosion, Schadenfreude, and Midnight [Washington DC]. She was also invited to be a guest DJ at Drop Dead II, a Deathrock festival held August 2004 in NYC.

Xiane spins Gothic and Industrial, Synthpop, Electroclash and EBM, and specializes in Old School Goth Rock and Deathrock. You can also read some of her music reviews and interviews at xiane.org [coming soon].
