Οι Deus Ex Machina δημιουργήθηκαν το 1989 στην Αθήνα από τους Δημήτρη Σπυρόπουλο και Δημήτρη Μάνθο. Ο Σπυρόπουλος, ο πρώην ντράμερ του συγκροτήματος Γιάννης Βεναρδής όπως και ο πρώην τραγουδιστής τους Νίκος Χαραλαμπόπουλος "Τσουλούφης" είναι όλοι βετεράνοι της πανκ σκηνής της δεκαετίας του 80.
Μέσα από μιά πληθώρα εμφανίσεων κατάφεραν μέσα σε μικρό χρονικό διάστημα να αναδειχθούν σε ένα από τα δυναμικότερα γκρουπ της ελληνικής εναλλακτικής σκηνής. Πραγματοποίησαν συναυλίες που άφησαν εποχή, τόσο στην Ελλάδα όσο και στο εξωτερικό, όπως η εμφάνισή τους στη μεγάλη αντιπολεμική συναυλία στα Σκόπια το 1994, μια σειρά εμφανίσεων στη Σερβία και στη Biennale 2000 στο Τορίνο.
Κατά τη διάρκεια της πορείας τους έχουν ανοίξει τις συναυλίες σημαντικών ονομάτων της διεθνούς σκηνής, όπως οι Dubrovniks, New Model Army, Madball, Public Enemy και οι Βuzzcocks.
Η μουσική τους χαρακτηρίζεται από τον έντονο πολιτικοκοινωνικό στίχο. Πολλές εμφανίσεις τους έχουν γίνει με σκοπό την αφύπνιση και την ενίσχυση της κοινωνικής συνείδησης σε σχέση με ποικιλία θεμάτων όπως ο πόλεμος στο Ιράκ, το κίνημα των Ζαπατίστας στο Μεξικό, διεκδικήσεις δικαιωμάτων, η προστασία του περιβάλλοντος κ.α.
Οι Deus Ex Machina κυκλοφόρησαν τον Φεβρουάριο του 2007 το τελευταίο τους ep CD με τίτλο “Time Expires”.
CDs και δίσκοι των DXM διατίθενται και στα καταστήματα "The Lab"
Deus Ex Machina were formed in 1989 in Athens, Greece by Dimitris Spyropoulos and Dimitris Manthos. Spyropoulos, ex drummer Yiannis Venardis and ex singer Nikos Charalambopoulos (Tsouloufis) have all been veterans of the local punk scene of the early 80s in the band Adiexodo. The new band, DXM, set out dynamically, eventually gaining the overwhelming acceptance of the alternative crowds. In the years to come they played over 500 concerts increasing their popularity and building a reputation of a predominantly kicking live band in spite of their limited discography.
In the course of their history DXM have suffered several setbacks including a number of serious car accidents and repeated personnel changes. So far, not only did they persevere, but overcoming such adversities they seem to return with added stamina each time. Nowadays, DXM are regarded as one of the major established acts of the Greek alternative scene.
Some of the highlights of their history include their appearances at landmark anti-Bosnian war concerts in Skopje, FYROM in 1994. In 1995, on the height of the Bosnian war, they toured Serbia. Year 1996 found them appearing at major festivals in the cause of peace in the Balkans. Year 2000 was marked by their appearances at the Biennale 2000 in Torino, Italy.
Adding to their credits, they have left their mark opening for acclaimed international alternative acts such as The Dubrovniks, New Model Army, Madball, Public Enemy and The Buzzcocks.
Over the years DXM have performed in a large number of events promoting social consciousness, something which is reflected on the lyrics and the overall attitude of the band.
As active supporters of the peace movement, they participated in several protest activities against the war in IRAQ. Suffice to say that this last war came as if anticipated by the band's grimly prophetic "Iraq & Roll". The song was written back in 1991 inspired by the first Gulf War.
December 2006: first two albums "Motorpsycho" and "Worlds Apart" reissued. Fully remastered, with bonus tracks of long out of print singles, plus extra rare, older material previously released on compilations only.
February 2007: ep CD "Time Expires" released.

Το live στο Eightball ξεπέρασε κάθε προσδοκία. Με άφησε άφωνο το 3ο κατά σειρά κομμάτι που παίξατε. Όσο για το cover του 'Guns of Brixton', RESPECT! DEUS RULES. Όχι άλλα λόγια. pavlos
