Xenomania are one of the UK's leading pop production houses, put together by writer and producer Brian Higgins. They are known for the wide influences present in their productions, most notably in their principal act, Girls Aloud. Strands of electro, more traditional pop, rave, power pop, and dance can all be found in their productions. The name "Xenomania" means, according to Higgins, "the exact opposite of Xenophobia...a love of everything, of all cultures." Members of the Xenomania writing and production team include Nick Coler, Giselle Sommerville, Miranda Cooper (also known as Moonbaby, and who shares co-writing credits in nearly all Xenomania-written tracks), Lisa Cowling, Tim Powell, and Matt Gray.
Xenomania have produced and remixed tracks for some of the most successful pop acts of the 2000s, including tracks for Sugababes, Girls Aloud, Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Kylie Minogue, Cher, Rachel Stevens, Steps, Texas, and Mania, who are comprised of former Xenomania (and ex-The Cinematic Orchestra contributor) Niara Scarlett and Giselle Sommerville. In particular, all 16 of Girls Aloud's singles (not including their collaboration with Sugababes on "Walk This Way", produced by Dallas Austin) have been produced by them and have reached the top ten. Of Higgins and Xenomania, Girls Aloud's former manager, Louis Walsh, says, "He just makes great songs for radio. They just jump out at you and stay in your brain."
