In 1994 "Lotus Labs" was started (a collaborative recording studio based in downtown Tucson Arizona). Karl White, Jamie Sako, Yuya Suzuki, and Ron Maynard were all partners in the studio. This became a haven for artistically stricken youth whom needed an outlet for their creative ventures. Lotus Labs hosted a series of renegade outdoor parties 10 miles NE of Tucson at Rennington Pass.
Then the live performance collaboration of "X23" and the independent label "Asimetrix Labs" was formed in 1998 by Karl White (Metrognome) and Jamie Sako (Jynx). The original partnership blossomed into a collaborative effort to push the boundaries of electronic music. Current goals of goals of X23 include movie scoring, video game audio, and out of state live performance.
X23 Albums are as follows: X23 (Self Titled – Techno/Breaks 1998), X23 Alchemy (Techno/Breakbeat 2000), X23 Archetype (Techno/DNB 2001), X23 Selector (Continuous DNB 2003), X23 Demo Mix (2004), X23 Lucid:8 (Unclassified 2005)
X23 Hardware Includes: Novation X-Station, Nord Lead, Pia Fatman, Korg M1, Korg Trinity, Korg Electribe, Akai 1200 Sampler, Regelwerk....and computers baby!
X23 Software Includes: Reaktor, Live, Reason, Soundforge, Fruity Loops, and Traktor.
X23 Live Performance Venues Include: Hazy Days – The Way Café – Heart Five – Vaudeville Cabaret – Lotus Festival – Earthdance – ICU – will be continuing to put together this list of shows as I dig through the heaps of flyers : )
