Xotox

Way back when futurepop was dominating the dance-floors and the scene, the appearance of xotox paralleled the spirit of those times with his own unique sound. Since then, the distorted beats of the debut album "Lichtlos" and subsequently, the clubhit "Eisenkiller" brought the scene to boil, catapulting xotox to the top of DJ-playlists, culminating in reaching the first position of German alternative charts (DAC) as first industrial-act EVER (2003-2004)! The EP "die Unruhe" (2004) and the following album "[PSI]" (2005) consolidated xotox's status as an exceptional artist, that remains true to his sound without self-repetition, unafraid of experimentation. In 2006 and 2008 followd the albums "Dokumentation 1:Ton" and "In den zehn Morgen", and again reached No. 1 in the DAC. After a split-album and two re-releases "Schwanengesang" was launched in 2013. This album, that was distinguished by its rough and dark sounds, was swiftly followed by "Redux", an extraordinary add-on 12" vinyl (2014). xotox is still regarded as an originator of the genre that has served many artists as an inspiration, refreshing and re-establishing his sound with each new release. Now, "Essentials" presents a cross-section of Andreas Davids work, covering all of his output since his ground-breaking debut, "Lichtlos". This massive double-CD is enriched by previously unreleased and exclusive demo-versions from this period, of course ,digitally remastered", as well as exciting new remixes of previous classics. "Essentials" is the definitive reference to xotoxs extraordinary musical career thus far.
