Enxin/Onyx
Enxin/Onyx is the joint project
of Tot Onyx (Tommi Tokyo)
and Hiro Kone (Nicky Mao)
— a collaboration that resists
structure in favour of something more unstable and alive.
Their debut EP Dorothy introduced a sound of shifting tension: vocals submerged then surfacing, electronics that veer from soft distortion to feral clarity. It’s music that moves between confrontation and release, never quite settling. Built from each artist’s distinct sonic language, the project draws from their shared histories in performance, dance, and expanded media — but the result is something new, unsettled, and resistant to form.
Following early collaborations on Pure Expenditure and Berlin Atonal’s More Light compilation, the duo solidified their presence with In Rupture, released on Other People. Metallic, layered, and tactile, the album feels less composed than unearthed — a sound shaped by pressure and the refusal to resolve.
Live, Enxin/Onyx move between intensity and disorientation, offering not escape, but immersion.

Other People is a label and publishing platform founded in New York in 2013 by Nicolás Jaar
Run by Jaar together with Nicolina Claeson, and guided by a deliberately low-profile presence, the label’s catalogue spans over ninety releases that slip between genre and form. Projects like 2021's Caves, a compilation of silences featuring Laraaji, Aho Ssan, Ana Quiroga, and others, and Weavings, a collaborative live piece with among others Juliana Huxtable, Ellen Fullman, Wukir Suryadi, and Rully Sha;ara of Senyawa, and Angel Bat Dawid. Other releases include works by Lucrecia Dalt, Lydia Lunch, Aho Ssan, Dienne, Sary Moussa, aylu, and the debut album from Ali Sethi & Jaar.
Beyond output, Other People is defined by its structure where artists retain all rights and determine their own revenue post-recoupment. Any profits are redistributed through grants, studios, and workshops such as the Overtones grant for LA musicians, Ladridos grant, and series of Workshops in Santiago de Chile, the Alrowwad electronic music grant and workshop in Bethlehem and (un)building listenings workshop at Dar Jacir in Bethlehem. Moreover, it has donated to over three dozen exceptional organizations and individuals through the 'Thank you for existing Grant'.
Aiming to highlight and offer a platform for artists outside the mainstream, Other People is a label that listens; to artists, to context, to the ground beneath the sound.
