X CLUB.
FRIDAY MARCH 21ST 2025 AT PARALLEL
23:59-05:00
Formed by Ben Clarke and Jesse Morath, X CLUB. is a dynamic dance production duo known for their unique blend of early '90s techno and future-facing drum and bass. Hailing from the vibrant music scene of Brisbane, Australia, they have carved a niche for themselves with their authentic and eclectic approach to dance music. Their energetic sets are celebrated for their precision and relentless drive, earning them a reputation as one of the hottest new acts in the industry.
In 2023, X CLUB. embarked on an international touring circuit, captivating audiences across Europe, North America, and Asia. With highlights including performances at Boiler Room and major festivals, they continue to push boundaries while staying true to their roots. The duo recently launched their label, HIDE THE JUNK, further solidifying their impact on the global music scene. With a focus on innovative soundscapes and infectious grooves, X Club will take over the club on March 21st where you can expect anything from a sombre and reflective vocal-driven trance track to allout techno assaults; drum’n’bass heaters to pensive and poignant introspection — all within the same record. Support TBA.
Line-up
X CLUB.
Currently based in London, X CLUB. counts the likes of Steel City Dance Discs, Lobster Theremin and StayOnSight as homes for their releases already. The second half of 2022 will see the pair kick things into gear with a number of offerings before making their way back home for the summer festival circuit. September will see X CLUB. unleash their new EP 300 TOOLS FOR SUCCESS on Miley Serious’ 99cts Records, delivering four tracks full of pure groove and heavy hitting moments best served with a warning. Forthcoming projects on Tred’s label Global Amnesia and a return to Dance Discs are also on the horizon. The latter includes a feature from rising star Pretty Girl, the duo’s second foray into music videos, and ‘Say No More’ which has quickly become a go-to for label boss and friend Mall Grab in his own sets, igniting the “ID?”s across the digital realm.
X CLUB.’s sets are at once precise and considered as they are unrelenting and propulsive. The pair opt to guide their audience on a dynamic, energetic and unpredictable ride, upping the intensity and chaos before reaching total dancefloor liberation. Quickly emerging from sharehouses in Meanjin/Brisbane and onto the international stage, X CLUB.’s buzz as one of the hottest dance acts to watch at home and abroad is the result of friendship, authenticity, and of course, hard n’ fast tracks. A key part of a burgeoning collective of artists in their home of Meanjin and around Australia each making their presence known on the international stage alongside Skin on Skin, JamesJamesJames, Mutant Joe, Crush3d, Juicy Romance, Pretty Girl and many more. They remain connected by a sense of family, humility and a desire to make dance music that makes you feel just as much as it makes you move.
In no time at all, X CLUB. has been quick to make their mark as a duo with expansive, dynamic and deliberate sonic influences by ensuring this is embedded directly into their music. Fans can expect anything from a sombre and reflective vocal-driven trance track to allout techno assaults; drum’n’bass heaters to pensive and poignant introspection — all within the same record. X CLUB. finds its strength lies not only in this freedom from typical genre constraints, but their willingness to go where their songwriting takes them.
