Person X

Formed in the south side of Saint Louis City, Person X have spent the last 4 years establishing themselves
in the electronic, hip-hop underground. Their politically charged lyrics and electronic soundscapes have
captured the attention of bored audiences around town. This aggressive, blue-collar hip-hop group steers
away from un-realistic club anthems and frat house party songs. Rather, producers Proletarian and the
Nature Boy create hard hitting tracks with a collection of analogue synths, live instrumentation and a dash
of classic sampling and looping. Meanwhile Emcee, Ruin, narrates a fist pumping tale of corrupt
government and corporate greediness while trying to understand why hip-hop has turned a blind eye by
churning terrible club hit after club hit. The group has been compared to Public Enemy and influences
include the Chemical Brothers and Frank Zappa. The group has been featured on 88.1 KDHX in St. Louis. Tracks from the sophomore release, Wreck the Flow, get
regular rotation on the Sunday Spin, by the Musical Geeks at the Schlafly Bottleworks.

Founding members Proletarian and the Nature Boy met in 2005 with the hopes of forming a punk band.
Soon they discovered each others love of electronic drum machines, samplers, synths and other musical
oddities. Thus, the instrumental side of the group was formed. Soon after, Ruin joined the group and they
began work on their first release, Escape from the Third Free World. New ideas paved the path for their
second release, Wreck the Flow to be followed up by the Heal Thyself ep. In that time the group has
completed remixes for folk singer Mathew Bayot and STL metal favorites Final Drive, as well as, remakes
of folk classics O Death, (Ghost) Riders in the Sky and the Ventures surf rock classic, Journey to the Stars.
The group plans on working closely with other musical groups of all genres to help (or get help) in creating
new and interesting music. Furthermore, Proletarian is halfway through the design and build of his own
modular, patch-bay synth and the Nature Boy plans on circuit bending an old Casio SK-1 for the hell of it.
However, job one is to play more shows, gain a wider fan base and record more records. After all, as the
Nature Boy states in the track ‘Just what you Need’ off of Wreck the Flow, “Person X on a track is like sex
for the vex. We didn’t choose to stand up, our raised fist is a hex.”
