• Xotox

Way back when futurepop was dominating the dance-floors and the scene, the appearance of xotox paralleled the spirit of those times with his own unique sound. Since then, the distorted beats of the debut album "Lichtlos" and subsequently, the clubhit "Eisenkiller" brought the scene to boiling point; catapulting xotox to the top of DJ-playlists, culminating as the ‘first industrial-act ever’, to take the top spot of the German Alternative Charts (DAC) circa 2003/2004. The EP "die Unruhe" (2004) and the following album "[PSI]" (2005) consolidated xotox's status as an exceptional artist who remains true to his sound without self-repetition; unafraid of experimentation.

Cologne, the German city, harbouring that famous little cathedral calls all dark creatures back to the Rheinpark grounds again. The Tanzbrunnen Cologne, which had gotten close to our hearts and characterized the Amphi Festival sustainably from 2006 till 2014 will be available again in 2016. “Home is where the heart is”, as the folks say.
