2016-03-20 (News)

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 band’s distorted beats brought the scene to boiling point. Next releases only consolidated Xotox's status as an exceptional artist who remains true to his sound without self-repetition; unafraid of experimentation.

Now, "Essentials" presents us with a cross-section of Andreas David’s work, covering all of his output since his ground-breaking debut, "Lichtlos".
