Artist History
ADHX is an anocronym for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity X-periment. ADHX was formed as a backlash to the uncomplex rhythms of house music. In 1995 Xtian, then a member of a modern dance company, had difficulty finding electronic music with enough transitions for a choreographed peice. In response Xtian grabbed a radio-shack keyboard, a microphone and a sampler from 1986 and dissappered for a week. When the dust had settled, a unique (and highly unusual)dance song aptly named "This Records Posessed!" was born. Much to his surprise the song (and the dance peice) became an instant a sucess. |

Press Reviews
May 17th- Christian otherwise known as "ADHX" (pronounced addicts) has jumped on to the scene with a hit rave anthem called "155 a.m." a body moving, head nodding, kick-in-the-groin to typical repetitive club music. It's tight, hard hitting sound are no mere clicks and beeps, but are as complex and technically proficient as a syphony orchestra - if say, the orchestra consisted of piledriving bass and a vocal sample of a girl describing losing her virginity. ADHX is also a cheeky double meaning: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity eXperiment but all I can say is keep this guy away from his ritalin we need more of this stuff! Four huge stars out five for renewing my intrest in Club music.-Frank Nachum Laser 101 Radio DJ's Picks Maarten Gazzette |
