Oscillator X :: The Comic
Mar 31, 2011
Oscillator X: The Comic is set in the distant future and chronicles the adventures of Oscillator X – techno-pop stars and part-time superheroes. The comic is based on the real-life band of the same name. The costumes, instruments, stage sets, etc. are all the actual stuff (albeit comic-ized) that Oscillator X uses in the real world. Even the duo’s keytars actually shoot in real life (fire and confetti rather than magnetic pulse resonance beams, but hey….). While the real band may spend more time writing songs and rehearsing than fighting evil robots, Oscillator X: the Comic allows the band to expand (in very tongue-in-cheek fashion) some of the ideas and concepts represented in their music and performances. We hope that you enjoy the unlikely comic adventures of John & Kyle as much as we enjoyed making them.

Oscillator X Show Review In The Seattle Weekly
May 3, 2009
I didn't want to go see Oscillator X last night. I've been sick as hell all week—pale-faced, shivering, and bed-ridden. Being in a club surrounded by dancing bodies and pounding music sounded unappealing as fuck. But I dragged my germ-ridden self to Fremont's Nectar to find out what all the fuss is about the Vancouver-based dance-pop duo.
Last night marked Oscillator X's (John Mendenhall and Kyle Ward) first live show in Seattle, despite the fact that they've been active for more than a decade. The guys have recently gotten a lot of attention for their Daft Punk-esque track "Dynamo" which is on heavy rotation on C89.5 FM. And their performance turned out to be well-worth my getting out of bed.
Oscillator X took the stage with two synthesizers, a turntable, and plenty of theatrics. They pulled out all the stops; pyrotechnic effects like flames shooting out of their keyboards, an onstage glowstringer, and several bursts of glittering confetti. I felt like I was on esctasy.
For anyone who misses Aqua and Real McCoy, Oscillator X's music is unapologetic Euro-dance at it's finest. Their often cheesy anthems contain plenty of melodic hooks, call-and-response verses, and strong bass sections. The guys just dropped their new album Techno Techyes and will hopefully announce some performance dates in the near future. I'll keep you posted.

New Song - SHINE (Breakz Mix)
May 1, 2009
An uptempo remix of the song "Shine" from the album "Techno ~ Techyes". We did this version because we wanted to add the song to our live set, but needed it to fit with the intensity of the rest of the set. The breakz mix is about 35 BPM faster and features breakbeat-styled drums and some new F/X, etc.
