Aimed at the heart of the dancefloor, XP8's music keeps listeners moving through the night in timeless waves, emitting subtle hints of the 1980s while slipping easily into the sounds of the new millennium: glitchy patterns, sharp simulated strings, and clear vocals travelling through bright sequences and brooding atmospheres.
XP8 began in 2001 as a trio including previous singer Paul Toohill. Melding an airy blend of EBM, electronica, techno and trance, the band brought their various visions and talents to life with synthetic vibrancy and danceable beats, while crossing electronic genres with relative ease. Over the years that followed, they made a name for themselves with their energetic live performances and their much sought-after remix work.
Exactly two years after the previous album "The Art of Revenge", "Drop the Mask" is a further evolution of the band's sound, showing the duo of Marco Visconti and Marko Resurreccion taking their collective music prowess to new heights. It's time to grow real fast... it's time to drop the mask...
