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 sounds of the new millennium: glitchy patterns, sharp simulated strings, and clear vocals travel 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, XP8 made a name for themselves due to their energetic live performances and their much sought-after remix work. Exactly 2 years after the previous album 'The Art of Revenge', 'Drop the Mask' is a further evolution of the band's sound by showing the duo of Marco Visconti and Marko Resurreccion taking their collective music prowess to new heights.
Still present are the subtle hints of the 1980s and early influences, while easily slipping in sounds of the new millennium: glitchy patterns, sharp simulated strings, and clear vocals which travel through bright sequences and brooding atmospheres.
It's time to grow real fast... it's time to drop the mask...
