Holiday news update from X-Sonic
-------------------------------------------
I'd like to wish everyone a happy holiday season and thank everyone for their support over the last year. The past few months since the release of "Synthetic Heart" has been an exciting one and I am looking forward to Quickstar Productions release of "Electric Underground" soon. It will feature the most successful track to date from the album, "Let's Run Away."
In the meantime, I'm hard at work in the studio finishing the last 2 or 3 songs which will be on next year's release. There is some exciting new stuff on it, so I hope you'll check back often for updates and maybe a sneak preview as the release draws closer.
X-Sonic now on RadioDirectx!
-------------------------------------
In less than 2 weeks on RadioDirectX, requests for promotional copies of "Synthetic Heart" have been coming in from a diverse array of independent radio stations around the world such as REDradio at St. Francis University in Pennsylvania, CFBX Radio in British Columbia, Musicatotal Radio in Portugal, and Jazz Radio FM in Poland.

X-Sonic is a one-man studio project creating upbeat modern synthpop with an 80s vibe.
Why this name?
The name was inspired by the sound and style of music that was popular as Generation X came of age.
Do you play live?
Not yet, but if I could get a drummer, bass player, guitar player and maybe another keyboard player together I would love to give it a try!
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Let's see the contract first...
Band History:
X-Sonic was a project that started in 2006 with the resurrection of an old early-80s vintage Korg analog synthesizer. It initially revolved around just creating cover versions of 80s songs for my own personal amusement and gradually evolved into the creation of a complete digital recording studio for the purpose of recording my own 80s-influenced synthpop compositions.
Your influences?
Pretty much anything 80s and early 90s, but I love Human League, Pet Shop Boys, OMD, Flock of Seagulls, Real Life, Tears For Fears, Thompson Twins, Thomas Dolby...you get the idea. I also love most forms of house music.
Favorite spot?
Anywhere in Hawaii, my home away from home!

I'm sorry to hear that mate,you're leaving them.
I am pissed at them,but i'll stay as i've never been in top 5 at a website before.I have 3 votes at min,with someone with 20 so unlikely i'll get anything from it,but i'll stay for a couple of months and then i might jack it in too.
Hope you album sales going well matey,and please let me know if you write anymore.Keep listening to album everynow and then and say when BLUE SKIES is done if you want to download the MP3S(It won't be mastered,as i can't afford that),then please do.I'll let you know if i ever finish it.

Hi Mate,
Hope ok?
Is it me or are they a bit out of order at World Talent Radio.You were 1st with 24 votes,and amazingly i joined you at joint 1st 3 days ago.Then hear about this 100$ thing,which i thought they'd split between me and thee!
Then they reset the board,without giving us any votes to start with or not.I'm not sure how i feel about it.
Just wondered if you think its fair or not?
Sod all can do about it i know,but just wondered.
Cheers

This is very good also, I am surprised this didn't rank in the charts, must have been in a different time or place.

Hey x-sonic...i hope you're doing fine. Looking good with your new music. "let's run away" sounds thight...i really like the vocals...the chorus is gold. Really good stuff.
I just want to let you know that i got some new stuff up. It would be cool if you could check it out sometimes and let me know what you think. Every feedback is important to me. Check out "Electric jungle" if you can...you might like this one.
god bless
