www.oscillatorx.com

I’m pleased to announce a brand new Oscillator X website! If you follow me on TWITTER or FACEBOOK, you’ve probably already seen the news about this.

The new site will be a very streamlined resource that (hopefully!) offers a simple interface that everyone will want to see (and hear) in one place.  We’ve made sure to keep things simple and without all the “flashy crap” that no one cares about anyway!   We hope to upload video, pictures, blogs and goodies to share with all the people who support our music.  Maybe you’ll learn more about us then you’d like to eh?  :-)  John and I welcome any feedback as we continue to tweak the site.  Please stop by and check it out and be sure to sign our OSCILLATOR X GUESTBOOK.

I’m also pleased to include that we’ve started off 2010 with a bang this year at SCI Recordings.  John Mendenhall and I plan to release a new Oscillator X CD by March 2010 and will spend additional time occupied with shows.  (things are already booked and getting more booked daily!)  We are excited for the upcoming CD and hope that  people will also enjoy our sound as it continues to develop.  This is really looking to be excellent year for Oscillator X Music.  Thanks to all our fans who’ve stuck by us and continued to inspire us to keep doing what we love.  Why do we continue?  Because we keep hearing from everyone about how they enjoy the songs and shows of course!  :-)

Additionally, I HAVE NOT forgotten about the my music roots from the alias projects.  One of my resolutions this year was to produce more of the stuff that you guys love.  I will soon finish up ENIGMA by Banzai and immediately start on fresh Smiley productions for the 2010 year.  I appreciate everyone being patient with me as my time goes towards OSX and iDANCE these days.  You will see another solo album released this year - It is my promise to myself and all the people who follow my music!

Positive Gaming - iDANCE

Stay tuned for iDANCE version2 news.  Our release date is near with the project and I know you guys are going to love it!  We are working on a new website and new media to compliment the game release.  More information will be released soon so keep an eye out for it.  2010 is going to be a great new year for rejuvenating 4 panel dance games!

Oscillator X @ Electro-Pop Art Party : Tacoma, WA Aug 15th 2009 August 6, 2009

Electro Pop Art Party - Tacoma WA

What does Pop art have in common with electronic music?

Pop Art embraced commercial techniques by creating machine produced art. Electronic music embraces technology in place of more organic instruments.

The Electro-Pop Art Party is one you dare not miss.
Resistance is futile.

Portland band Oscillator X, fresh from their concert in Europe at the Arcade Dance International Championships in Amsterdam, will provide a world-class performance which includes their own customized light show complete with fog machine and air-powered confetti launchers in Tacoma at the Robert Daniel Gallery during the Electro-Pop Art Party.

The infectious dance grooves of Oscillator X can be heard in several video games including the In The Groove series, the Pump It Up series, iDance, Snake 360, Snowball Runner and others.

Oscillator X’s sound is often compared to artists as diverse as Eiffel 65, 2Unlimited, O-Zone and Daft Punk. Unlike many of today’s dance acts, Oscillator X is a bona fide band with both members writing and performing all of the music, both in the studio and at their dynamic live shows.

Oscillator X released their first album in late 2008 on their own record label, SCI Recordings. The first single “Dynamo” has hit #1 in several US radio markets including Tacoma’s own KVTI I-91 FM & Seattle’s C89.5 FM.

Electro-Pop Art Party with Oscillator X
August 15th 8 pm
Robert Daniel Gallery

Oscillator X received a recent write-up for the Tuesday show in Seattle Weekly.  Thanks to everyone who came out to the show and Gr00ved it up with us. Big thanks  goes out to Alyson and Richard J. Dalton for helping make the night ROCK as well.

Have a look at the review!

Check out the Article HERE!   : http://blogs.seattleweekly.com/reverb/2009/03/last_night_oscillator_x_at_nec.php

“I didn’t want to go see Oscillator X last night. I’ve been sick as hell all week—pale-faced, shivering, and bed-ridden. Being in a club surrounded by dancing bodies and pounding music sounded unappealing as fuck. But I dragged my germ-ridden self to Fremont’s Nectar to find out what all the fuss is about the Vancouver-based dance-pop duo.

Last night marked Oscillator X’s (John Mendenhall and Kyle Ward) first live show in Seattle, despite the fact that they’ve been active for more than a decade. The guys have recently gotten a lot of attention for their Daft Punk-esque track “Dynamo” which is on heavy rotation on C89.5 FM. And their performance turned out to be well-worth my getting out of bed.

Oscillator X took the stage with two synthesizers, a turntable, and plenty of theatrics. They pulled out all the stops; pyrotechnic effects like flames shooting out of their keyboards, an onstage glowstringer, and several bursts of glittering confetti. I felt like I was on esctasy.

There were a couple technical difficulties in the otherwise explosive set. The guys made a major blunder at the start of the night by forgetting to plug in some of their equipment. But DJ Richard J. Dalton of C89.5 FM jumped in and smoothed over the awkward moment by fittingly playing Madonna’s “Hung Up.” (”Time goes by so slowly for those who wait.”)

For anyone who misses Aqua and Real McCoy, Oscillator X’s music is unapologetic Euro-dance at it’s finest. Their often cheesy anthems contain plenty of melodic hooks, call-and-response verses, and strong bass sections. The guys just dropped their new album Techno Techyes and will hopefully announce some performance dates in the near future. I’ll keep you posted.”  - Erika Hobart

Oscillator X - The Neon Underground October 7, 2008

The Oscillator X team has been hard at work in the studio lately.  Our new single is a familiar tune known as “The Neon Underground”.  The new version has been completely re-recorded and re-arranged in that familiar Oscillator X dance style. “The Neon Underground” was written about the underground dance clubs that the duo used to frequent a number of years back and is an homage to the music and styles of that scene.

We hope that you enjoy the song as much as we did making it. The song is available as a 320k, DRM - free, MP3 download in the SCI Recordings Store now.
