Before making his first experiments with electronic music in late 2003, Martin Sane had worked for years with acoustic instruments. This knowledge helped realizing the purely electronic project Fïx8:Sëd8 which revealed Sane's preferences for dark, interlocked soundstructures influenced by bands such as Skinny Puppy and Velvet Acid Christ. Especially vocals and the excessive use of all kind of samples in Fïx8:Sëd8's music are based on Sane's preferences for Ogre's and Erickson's work. But the more songs Sane made for the forthcoming album Humanophobia the more he started to integrate clubsounds and dance-elements into his music. Fïx8:Sëd8's contribution to the 2005 Zillo-Sampler vol.10 "Blasphemia" is one of the songs from this period.

In January 2005 Sane met sound-wizard Daniel Myer (Haujobb, Destroid) who decided to produce Humanophobia. The result is a record with an amazing diversity on all levels, yet with the characteristic Fïx8-sound, especially after the support of Huseyin Koroglu (Phunkmob) and Steve Dragon (In Strict Confidence) at the final stage of the production. In early 2006 Fïx8:Sëd8 joins Sonic Seducer's annual "battle of the bands"-competition and comes in second in one of the two categories. Fïx8:Sëd8's contribution to the popular sampler "Endzeit Bunkertracks II", the song "Monolith", is a homage to Skinny Puppy and Puppy-related music and one of the highlights on Humanophobia.
Influenced and supported by fantastic bands such as BLAME, MC1R, Nordschlacht and Object, Sane starts working on his second album Dormicum in early 2008. Produced and mastered by DJ Barmherziger Dormicum pushes the characteristic Fïx8-sound to the next level. 3 years after the release of Humanophobia, Dormicum strikes the listener with powerful beatdriven clubtracks such as "The Needle", "Blood Delta" or "Post Mortem Apocalypse" as well as with dark atmospheric songs such as "Guillotine Gratitude", "Hiob" and "Methadone". Fïx8:Sëd8 are back. And they came to stay.
