XP8 is Marco Visconti and Marko Resurreccion.
The band, started in 2001 as a trio including previous singer Paul Toohill , composes an airy blend of EBM, electronica, techno and trance, bringing their various visions and talents to life with synthetic vibrancy and danceable beats, crossing electronic genres with relative ease. Aimed at the heart of the dancefloor, the music keeps listeners moving through the night in timeless waves, emitting subtle hints of the 1980s while slipping easily into sounds of the new millennium: glitchy patterns, sharp simulated strings, and clear vocals travel through bright sequences and brooding atmospheres.
Hope Estheim
From the mind of Cryogenic Echelon comes Hope Estheim, a project driven by modern production techniques with melancholic lyrics and operatic vocals. At the helm of Hope Estheim is Gerry Hawkins (Cryogenic Echelon) and Jade Pegg (Acidtrixx). Together they deliver a melodic fusion of Synth Pop & Dubstep , taking two very different genres and delivering them in one beautiful and unapologetic package that crosses many boundaries. Hope Estheim draws its influences from such modern icons as Vicious Alliance, Ashbury Heights and Nero.
