Cam Marsland, or what clubbers know him as - Elemance. He is an Australian, now local expat who has discovered his path into the local nightclub scene.  In his some 10 years experience of mixing, he has played at a range of events, from big room club nights such as Gatecrasher or Godskitchen, warehouse rave parties, intimate private nights, outdoor doofs, car shows, wedding receptions, and featured regularly on radio with having his own show for 5 years both on the internet and on the local airwaves in Brisbane. 

Now in Xi'an you will be hearing him regularly at popular nightclub, 1+1.  His range of sounds can be heard from the ambient downtempo, through to deep and dark techno, to melodic and progressive house music.

John Beddoe is one of those exceptional expats who is absolutely worth to be mentioned.  He is, due to his professional obligations in his home country Australia, an irregular visitor of Xi'an yet.

But even so, he always looks forward to come back to Xi'an and enjoys the teaching classes with his students at the Xi’an Polytechnic University. He is a professional english teacher for university students in Xi'an but beside that he is a professional musician and artist as well. John Beddoe, being a professional musician,  plays not only perfectly guitar but is eager to learn and master traditional chinese instruments like Yangqin  (扬琴) as well.
