Biography
Multiple music artists share the name Xylitol.
1. Xylitol is the nom de guerre of electronic musician, writer, and artist Catherine Backhouse. Her early releases under the name were characterized by tinny rhythm-box percussion, cosmic electronics, and roller-rink melodies "like Delia Derbyshire fighting her way out of a biscuit tin." Her most recent music brings her lifelong fascination with early electronic music into an omnidirectional dialogue with kosmische music, UK garage, and jungle techno.

As DJ Bunnyhausen, she was a resident DJ at the seminal Kosmische Club in London throughout the 2000s. She now co-hosts the radio show and club night "Slav to the Rhythm," bringing the outer reaches of pop and electronica from the Central and Eastern European diaspora to the airwaves and the dance floor.
2. Xylitol is a female fronted hardcore punk band from Olympia, Washington. The four members are Laura, Jake, Winter, and Colter. Exposure to them can give you an energy rush but also leave you with a severe ringing in your ears. You have been warned.
