XOTOX sees best-of released: ‘Essentials (Best Of)’ 2CD in mid-April

Pro Noize plans a best-of XOTOX album for mid-April. The “Essentials (Best Of)” double CD not only holds the club hits from the band but also previously unreleased and exclusive demo versions all digitally remastered, as well as new remixes of previous classics. That release can now be pre-ordered.
Xotox is actually the solo project started by Andreas Davids in 1998. Since then Davids has released several self-published albums (from 1998 to 2002) next to label releases via Pronoize. “Lichtlos” was their debut album with Pronoize and featured the club hit “Eisenkiller”.
The EP “die Unruhe” (2004) was followed by the album “[PSI]” (2005), and in 2006 and 2008 XOTOX returned with the albums “Dokumentation 1:Ton” and “In den zehn Morgen”. After a split-album and two re-releases “Schwanengesang“ was launched in 2013. It was quickly followed by “Redux”; an add-on 12″ vinyl (2014).
Chief editor of Side-Line – which basically means I spend my days wading through a relentless flood of press releases from labels, artists, DJs, and zealous correspondents. My job? Strip out the promo nonsense, verify what’s actually real, and decide which stories make the cut and which get tossed into the digital void. Outside the news filter bubble, I’m all in for quality sushi and helping raise funds for Ukraine’s ongoing fight against the modern-day axis of evil.
Since youâre here âŠ
⊠we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we havenât put up a paywall â we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Lineâs independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine â and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
