X CLUB.

The sound of X CLUB., the dance production duo of Ben Clarke and Jesse Morath, is not easily defined. Inspired by early 90s techno all the way through to future-facing drum'n'bass, X CLUB. has carved out a space entirely their own thanks to their authentic and eclectic take on dance music with serious consideration for underlying groove.

Founded from the rustic walls of Brisbane/Meanjin Australia's warehouse scene and exported to London as their home-base, X CLUB. counts the likes of Steel City Dance Discs, Crowds, 99CTS Records and Stay On Sight as homes for their music, alongside their own label, Hide the Junk. 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, gaining buzz as "one of the hottest new dance acts," as labelled by BBC-R1's Sarah Story, which is the result of friendship, authenticity, and of course, hard n' fast tracks.

2024 has seen X CLUB. propel further onto the international touring circuit, every weekend performing in a new country, club, and festival for the first time across Europe, North America and Asia. Highlights include a headline slot at Pitch Music and Arts Festival, Melt Festival AVA Belfast, III Points Miami, Glitch Malta, Warehouse Project Manchester and Brunch Barcelona to name a few. On their home soil of Australia, they curated warehouse parties along the east coast to the tune of 15,000 tickets sold inviting guests SPFDJ & Shampain into Bay 25 at Carriageworks in Sydney (the space's first show in 5 years) and Pica in Melbourne – further cementing their place as one of the leading techno projects in Australia.

2023 saw the launch of their own label imprint, Hide the Junk, set up as an extension of the already established X CLUB. sound with a focus on positive energy and percussive grooves that inject fun into techno. Now 3 EPs in, the duo anticipate an exciting new chapter as they start to release the mountain of new material they have stored away. Hide the Junk also provides a space to release the highly anticipated, sample-heavy fan favourites 'Groove Is In The Heart' and 'At Night,' as part of their Junk Tracks series.

On the road, X CLUB. will return to the familiar shores for a busy run home to end the year in Australia and New Zealand. Headline slots at A3 Festival, Let Them Eat Cake, Rhythm & Alps, plus headline shows in the Gold Coast, Adelaide then teaming up with Partiboi69 and Kettama in Perth. Matching this high-energy live presence, December will see two exciting releases: a bold collaboration with Partiboi69 on a remix of Dom Dolla & Tove Lo's hit 'Cave' and the long-awaited fan favourite Frankie Knuckles, dropping later in the month via Method 808. X CLUB. is not taking anything for granted. They are solidifying their presence as one of techno's most exciting new names, both in the studio and on the live stage. Always eager to keep pushing and breaking new ground, the duo remain a serious force du jour and one which will be felt across the world as they continue their mission of global domination — one dancefloor at a time.
