CyclonX

CyclonX got their start in music mashing up songs from the likes of <a href="spotify:artist:4gNEgDZhEu6ldAI2wWdZsL" data-name="Crush 40">Crush 40</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:4ShgdWtm52xvEr8uYmT0V6" data-name="SEGA SOUND TEAM">SEGA SOUND TEAM</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:09s85YrKl0VJYri5Nkd7Ls" data-name="Bentley Jones">Bentley Jones</a>, amongst other otacore and video game artists. This fascination turned hobby quickly grew into a small YouTube following, where they began to experiment with synths &amp; arrangements.

Their first original track <a href="spotify:track:4ZUR7U2Qh14P2EfmfD1NG4" data-name="WHENEVER.">WHENEVER.</a> released in 2017— rooted in the experimentation and love of <a href="spotify:artist:6XyY86QOPPrYVGvF9ch6wz" data-name="Linkin Park">Linkin Park</a>&#39;s more electronic works. Their next original release dropped in October of the following year, titled <a href="spotify:track:0cUQG7ktwyxTHYQktJUXrV" data-name="DISCOMFORT">DISCOMFORT</a>. The EP was both a huge deviation &amp; comforting next step from their previously seen music. Consisting of incredibly experimental genres, the seemingly directionless EP reflected their unstable life at the time.

After a year in the making, CyclonX would go on to release their first full album <a href="spotify:album:4T2uIRpY7MXBRqjj2DDWEi" data-name="LOFIDELITY">LOFIDELITY</a> in September of 2019. The album portrayed a rather experimental chillhop &amp; lofi sound, The sound of the album notably stemmed from pitch-shifted urban rap lines, mixing of synths and chopped samples, and use of atmospheric string melodies.

CyclonX collaborates with many artists to remix and feature in countless genres, though their 2020 album <a href="spotify:album:2wrRtmdDG1cRCLBBhd1EOj" data-name="regretless">regretless</a> proved their roots in lofi to be as strong as ever.
