Hard X Music has had the opportunity to work with several original artists with styles like mainstream anthems, dissonant industrial, bumping hard house/jumpstyle, and clanking drum n' bass. Out roster is limited to no territory either. Music is universal and never bound to one place. The HKR artists come from many different cities in many different countries.

As our roster quickly grows with each release, we hope to continue to bring more original ideas to people who believe in the music we create.

Aber wichtiger ist, ..Weitere folgten.. und folgten und folgten und folgten und... _Die ersten Bookings kamen 1996 für den Club 'La Grange' in Babenhausen. Der Style der zwei kam beim Puplikum sehr gut an. Seit dem kann man sie Regelmäßig auf diversen Veranstalltungen wie z.B. in Bayern, NRW und auch Schweiz als DJ act hören und sehen. Im Jahr 2004 began dann das interesse, selber mal was zu Produzieren. Ein eigenes Vinyl mußte her. Es wurde über eine kleine weile equipment zusammengestellt. _Sie produzieren heute überwiegend mit dem Soundprogramm 'Reason 4.0' und dem 'Radium 49', und versuchen ihren Style immer mehr zu perfektionieren. Nach 2 Jahren experimentier und anlernphase in der produktionsmaterie und insgesamt 12 Jahren an den Plattentellern, kam auch endlich ende 2006 eine zusage für ihr erstes release, wofür der Dank an Maxx und Giangy von den Stunned Guys geht. Der Vertrag mit 'Sonic Solution' (italy) kam zustande! _Im März 2007 war es dann auch so weit. Auf ihrem Label 'G-Net Records' (G-Net Records is a subdivision of Traxtorm Records) wurde 'Braincrushers - Little Asses' mit vier Tracks released, und stand nun bei denn Plattenhändlern im Regal. Nur kurz darauf waren die Tracks auch auf diversen CD-Compilations wie z.B. Thunderdome 2007 zu finden. Das zweite Vinyl steht nun auch schon an. Wir werden sehen was die Zukunft bringt.. .
