We show that the electron recoil excess around 2 keV claimed by the XENON collaboration can be fitted by DM or DM-like particles having a fast component with velocity of order $\sim 0.1$. Those particles cannot be part of the cold DM halo of our Galaxy, so we speculate about their possible nature and origin, such as fast moving DM sub-haloes, semi-annihilations of DM and relativistic axions produced by a nearby axion star. Feasible new physics scenarios must accommodate exotic DM dynamics and unusual DM properties.
