Ingmarlo started as an engineer for Logic Records / BMG in 1994 and was part as a composer and producer on songs like: More Than Ever People feat. Cathy Batistessa, Contigo feat. Raul Paz, Stardust Into Man feat. Rhonda Bellamy including projects like: e.g.  Levitation, Sa Trinxa Sunstars, Colecat, Ocean Deep

 As a labelmanager for Movin Sounds Ibiza S.L. and GreenHeartMusic S.L. he is also involved in a cross platform of ecological and musical messages.

 DJ Malte, more than 20 years resident DJ on Ibiza and as a main DJ of the famous Kumharas he built up his reputation as a crossover mix genius blending styles from Chill to Trance. Since ten years he is appearing on radio and since two years has his regular radio shows on Global Radio Ibiza and Radio Sonica. Both are possible to receive worldwide over the internet. 

Together they are the inner core of Real XS, feat. artists from Europe and the USA like Muriel Fowler, Rafa Peletey, Jon MIchell and Dan Williams.

There once was a mother who owned a magical juke-box, and on that juke-box, she played her favorite tunes all day long. A mix of sweet soul music and country rang out throughout the home and caught root in the minds of her 5 little children. Inspired by the soulful tunes she decided to name one of her children Coni, in honour of Cornelia Froboess and Conny Francis her music idols. From the outset Coni was captivated by music singing and dancing to the greats with her brothers and sisters. With an insatiable appetite for new sounds and styles she listen to the music of her older beautiful sister, singing Karaoke to the 80’s music of artists like Kim Wilde and Trio. As the years past Coni’s hunger for new tunes drew her from her home at the age of fifteen to the bright lights of magical Münster! It wasn’t long till the music found Coni, starring in a series of stage productions experimenting with rock, soul and even developing her own style of rap. Her first recorded studio piece Arbeitslosen-Rap" (Rap of the Unemployed) signalled a talent in the making. Bound by a desire to live a grow Coni decided to complete her high school diploma. Free from her bonds she travelled far to the Caribbean Islands in search of adventure and new sounds.In the blink of an eye she found herself walking the streets of London town, deep in the basements with electro beats and Metalheadz-Posse. In search of the secret spice, she ran into Andy David, tasting the sounds of Hip Hop and Reggae. Drunk on the funk she awoke on day back in Germany grooving to the tunes of NSF, an electro-pop-project. Deciding to hang out with them for a while in the heart of Cologne, Coni realizes that she travelled the whole wide world to collecting rifts here and rhythms there. The time has come to put the pieces together and craft her own personal and unique style. Help comes knocking on the door once again in the form of old friend Andy David and producer Michael Williams, aka "Keyboard Money Mike" With a sack full of tunes and some great songs the three of them enter the studio. And there it was in a small studio the penny drops and Coni realizes, “Hey I can do this!” From that day on that’s what she’s continue to do, singing, exploring, testing the boundaries and doing it all with a smile on her face and love in her heart!

Singer and composer Rafa Peletey started playing guitar at the age of 7, and then studied classical music. He have been part of numerous bands of very different styles as a bass player, guitarist, keyboardist or singer. He have shared the stage with people like Al Jarreau, Lou Reed, The Christians or Eric Burdon between others. He's also an ambient and deep house artist featuring on dozens of compilations, and have realized arrangements and compositions for various artists. All these activities have headed him naturaly to the production, labor that he's carrying out since the early nineties. For several years he have teamed with Steve Norman, founder member of Spandau Ballet, realizing with him productions and compositions. He have also collaborated with the DJ pioneer Alfredo, godfather of the balearic movement and one of the creators of the house music, or the french drum & bass pioneer Guillaume Garrone, aka Eye n ear. Currently, he's working on his own personal album while giving concerts with his acoustic ensemble.

Real XS - REALXS - RELAX - Timing:

Our concept is the blend of DJing and Live Performance that integrates seamlessly into each other .

The DJ performs specially prepared Songs, Loops and Sounds in-between the Act (REAL) to enhance the experience of the Live Musicians. This creates a journey through different styles and ambiences.

Various musicians like our Guitarist and Vocalist, will not only perform the Live Songs but also integrate into the DJ set. The music live performed is a mixture between original compositions and remix projects (including released and unreleased gems)

The Act is appreciated best before sunset or sunrise in a natural ambience reflecting the laid-back danceable Meditaranian of Ibiza.

The duration of that breathtaking experience can vary between 90 and 120
Minutes.
