His original tracks climbed the charts, scoring four Top 40 remixes on Beatport. He remixed singles for a star-studded lineup including Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Ellie Goulding, and Black Eyed Peas. Over the last decade, MING has sharpened his studio skills, taking a break from touring life to focus on production. Only the fewest musicians find success in the music business, let alone the ten-year run that MING+FS achieved, but that was only part one in MING’s extraordinary career. Playing guitar, bass, keyboard, and turntables, MING toured the world and gave international audiences an introduction to the American electronic music scene, opening up for acts such as Sting, RUN-DMC, and Moby while rocking huge festivals including Coachella, Jam Cruise, and Jazz Fest. In the mid-90s, he was one-half of the pioneering electronic duo MING+FS.
In a city with an ever-changing soundscape, MING remains versatile and adept – essentially a way of life for the producer, songwriter, remixer, DJ, and musician. Flipping the script is second nature to this New Yorker. When it comes to change, you either get on board or get left behind.

In addition, the world's biggest EDM giants Skrillex, Flux Pavilion and Knife Party can be regularly heard dropping Xilent's joints in their sets, bringing the young Polish prodigy's sounds to the largest dance stages on the globe. Xilent's undeniable talents have been wrangled for a wealth of remixes for the likes of Katy Perry to Ellie Goulding and even Ed Shearen, all intent on hearing Xilent's interpretation of their pop hits. Zane Lowe continued to champion his sound, making 'Beyond' his 'Hottest Record In The World', and 'Do It' also hit radio One's daytime listenership courtesy of Fearne Cotton. Xilent didn't worry about the difficult second release, with landmark EPs 'Touchsound' and 'Ultrafunk' hitting 2012 prompting a slew of new fans and followers to duly sign up to the Xilent movement. 'Choose Me II' has now enjoyed in excess of 3 million hits on YouTube and stands out as one of the most impressive debut singles in bass music history. That tune hit the Beatport charts with brutal force, remaining in the top five for three whole months, heralding the arrival of a genuine bass music star. In fact, it's only two years since that evergreen tastemaking chap at Radio One - Zane Lowe, made Xilent's 'Choose Me II' the subject of his 'Next Hype' feature, arguably providing the catalyst for the young Polish dubstep/drum n bass/electro house fiend to rise through the ranks in a blaze of glory. Now firmly one of the most discussed names in bass music, Xilent's progress seems to know no bounds. With his career still in its relative infancy, Eryk Kowalczyk has in a matter of a couple of years managed more than most artists do in a lifetime. Few enjoy a rise to the top that is quite as exponential as Xilent's.
