[x] -Rx is an electronic music project that combines a dark rave sound with a hardstyle touch and hard rhythms.
Band history
[x] -Rx was founded in 2006 by Pascal Beniesch in Cologne. With the club hit Disco Distortion , which was published in 2006 on the series Extreme Sündenfall , [x] -Rx caught the attention of the Pronoize label . The track Die Sexualkiste der Hölle , which sampled the public speeches of a pedestrian zone preacher from Braunschweig, became an underground hit at the end of 2007 and was released on the album Impossible Exciting . Also this year [x] -Rx had their first international appearance at the Summer Darkness Festival in the Netherlands.
This was followed by the second album Stage 2 in early 2009 , the album Update 3.0 on July 9, 2010 , the album Activate the Machinez in spring 2012 and the album Crank it up on November 28, 2014 .
The reception is mixed, scene media attest the works consistently good danceability, but criticize the high musical redundancy and lack of innovation.
"So I'm pretty sure that various DJs will soon heat us up with“ Stage 2 ”, but the album is just a bit too monotonous for private listening."
“Constantly the same beat, forever constant song patterns - that is industrial rave from Cologne and is called [X] -RX. For all those who simply (can) hear everything and therefore (cannot) notice any difference. The debut album by [X] -RX was released in 2007 and was called "Impossible arousing". It's shocking that this also applies to this, meanwhile third, long player. "
“There is simply no place for high-quality and deep compositional music here. This music is made for the clubs - and nothing more. "
Side projects
The [x] -Rx members have their own side projects. Pascal Benisch Epinephrin and Jan Teutloff SlutWhore .
