FiXT Announces New Exclusive Roster Signing: EDM Artist Kaixo

January 14, 2022

Artist News

Kaixo

FiXT is proud to announce the exclusive signing of European EDM artist Kaixo. The signing kicks off with a series of remixes from Kaixo, taking on some of FiXT’s established roster artists, ahead of new original material coming in a multi-album deal.

Out today is Kaixo’s remix of the title track of label-mate Soul Extract’s recent album, “Solid State”, with Kaixo taking on remixes for Celldweller, Circle of Dust, Fight The Fade, Scandroid, Daedric, and others throughout 2022.

“It is such an honor to become part of something that I’ve looked up to as an artist. I’m incredibly excited to see where this new chapter in my journey will take me!”
– Kaixo

“We’re incredibly excited to officially have Kaixo join the FiXT family. Our mission to support aspiring artists and help them reach exponentially higher levels of success is on display with this signing. We can’t wait to see the massive growth ahead for Kaixo and be apart of taking his talent, production abilities, and incredible sound design to a global audience.” – James Rhodes, FiXT Vice President

Kaixo first came to the attention of FiXT after winning first place in The Anix’s “Die With You” Remix contest in mid-2020 with an EDM-heavy spin on “Die With You” brings club-friendly beats to the track without losing the emotive vocal style and intense atmosphere of The Anix original.

Drum and bass sci-fi-inspired artist Kaixo didn’t always know he was going to be a musician. In fact, growing up he had little care for what was playing on the radio and hated music class. It wasn’t until 2015 when he touched his first DAW at the age of fourteen that it clicked and new world opened for him. Kaixo was born with a few simple goals: Learn and improve.

In 2018 Kaixo discovered Celldweller, and the mix of electronic, metal, and rock that he’d heard growing up resonated with him. In 2019 he stopped releasing music entirely instead focusing on the creative process itself. Taking inspiration from Celldweller, The Anix, Voicians, 3D Stas, Circle of Dust, Scandroid, and Muzz, his entire taste in music switched from EDM to electronic rock/metal and after a year-long break, Kaixo dropped what he considers his first real album, How it Began in mid 2020. It was followed in 2021 by The Aqaer EP, a six track throwback to Kaixo’s original electronic style.

In 2020 Kaixo came to the attention of independent record label FiXT when he won first place in The Anix’s “Die With You” Remix Contest and signed a multi-album deal with the label in late 2021. In 2022 Kaixo is releasing a series of remixes for FiXT artists including Celldweller, Scandroid, Fight The Fade, Circle of Dust, Daedric, ahead of releasing original material towards a new full-length album.

Fixt, FiXT Neon, FiXT Noir

Celebrates 15 Year Anniversary

“Some of you already know I’ve signed several bad records deals in my career. That prompted me early on to create my own independent label, FiXT. We wondered through the years if we could survive as a label, and here we are 15 years later, with the biggest and best roster, staff and resources we’ve ever had, and there’s a lot more to come.”
– Klayton (President & Founder, FiXT)

Los Angeles, California – FiXT, the independent, artist-owned record label from artist/producer Klayton (best known for his projects Celldweller, Scandroid, and Circle of Dust), has announced a full company rebrand today. In addition to visual branding changes, FiXT announced major updates to its 2 existing label divisions, FiXT and FiXT Neon, along with launching a 3rd, all-new EDM division, FiXT Noir.

FiXT’s rock/metal division, which has been operating since 2006, has been re-branded as FiXT Radium. The label has announced 4 new exclusive artist signings – the division’s first female fronted electronic-rock project, Daedric, UK electro-nu-core 6-piece Seething Akira, Eastern Europe electro-metal duo Nitroverts, and Canada-based artist Richy Nix with his metal meets hip-hop fusion. The new signings join FiXT Radium’s existing roster featuring The Algorithm, The Anix, Becko, Celldweller, Circle of Dust, Fight The Fade, I Will Never Be The Same, NUTRONIC, Raizer, Soul Extract, Voicians, and Void Chapter.

“I absorbed a lot of electronic music through the ’80s and ’90s and that would eventually lead to the sound of Celldweller. For those who have been following, you know that I’ve collaborated with some big names in EDM, and FiXT operated the world’s largest EDM merch store for many years. So here it is, 2021, and I’m really excited to announce the launch of FiXT’s brand new EDM label division, FiXT Noir.”

FiXT Signs Electro-Nu-Core Band Seething Akira!

June 24, 2021

Artist News, Artist Press

Seething Akira

Independent future rock label FiXT is proud to announce the signing of UK electro-nu-core 6-piece band Seething Akira. The exclusive, multi-album deal includes a deluxe edition re-release of Seething Akira’s explosive debut album Sleepy Skeletor, featuring newly remastered bonus tracks “Firepower” and “Airstrike” along with instrumental versions available for the first time. Seething Akira is also releasing the band’s upcoming full-length album Dysfunctional Wonderland with FiXT this Fall.

“Well, what can we say? Seething Akira have been working tirelessly for almost a decade and quietly waiting for the right home to allow the band to flourish further. We’re absolutely elated this home is now with FiXT. With FiXT’s vision, experience, and global reach we’re thrilled to be part of the family and more determine than ever to deliver Seething Akira’s unique style to more ears than ever before!”
– Seething Akira

Explosive. Bombastic. Defiant. Intense. Seething Akira have developed a gloriously turbulent sound that is uniquely their own. Founded by vocalists Charlie Bowes and Kit Conrad, Seething Akira are a 6-piece electronic nu-core band hailing from the seafront city of Portsmouth, UK that have been tearing venues apart across Europe with their powerful fusion of genres since 2012.

The band’s first full-length album, Sleepy Skeletor, dropped in 2018 and made it clear that Seething Akira would be a force to be reckoned with in the years to come. In late 2020, the band launched a series of new singles leading up to their second album, the highly anticipated Dysfunctional Wonderland. With the strength of the band’s music and their popularity with fans rocketing skyward, they connected with electronic rock label FiXT and forged a partnership for their future releases.

Seething Akira has been featured on the Rock Hard Spotify editorial list, while their single “Firepower” landed on Kerrang Radio and Scuzz. “I Am The Devil” and “The Islander” were both featured on BBC Introducing, and “The Islander” premiered on Soundsphere Magazine.

At home and on the road, Seething Akira have also put their stamp on staple festivals such as Bloodstock, Victorious, Camden Rocks, and many more while touring with bands like The Qemists and The Algorithm.

The band’s new album, Dysfunctional Wonderland, is scheduled for an early fall 2021 release followed by a tour to support the new tracks.

Nitroverts

What do you get when you cross the classic rock/electronic ’80s vibe of Ars Nikonov’s Fury Weekend project with the impassioned, versatile, and high-octane vocals of Yann Zhanchak? You get Nitroverts, a hybrid electronic rock / nu-metal fusion collaboration between two Belarusian artists at the top of their game.

Electro-Metal duo Nitroverts make their debut appearance on the FiXT label, hitting the ground running with their brand new single, “Starting Point.” This aptly titled track is the beginning of a series of singles from the band, fusing modern metal and electronics. The group’s riveting vocals are courtesy of Yann Zhanchak, while guitars, electronic programming, mixing, and production are delivered by Ars NIkonov, known for his successful retro synth project Fury Weekend.

Richy Nix Is Back

June 14, 2021

Artist News, Artist Press

Daedric

FiXT is proud to announce Richy Nix is back with one of the most aggressive tracks of his career on the electrifying new creation, “False Pride.” The track features powerful guitar riffs, ceaseless hard hitting beats, with the searing vocal delivery that Richy Nix has come to be known for, in this dynamic fusion mix of hip-hop and metal.

Canadian rap-rock artist Richy Nix defies convention. Embracing the worlds of hip-hop and metal for nearly 20 years from early self-released albums in the early ‘00s to a major label release with Universal Republic in 2010, Richy has found his home with FiXT, the independent artist owned/operated label from multi-genre pioneer Celldweller. By embracing opposing worlds of genre to the dichotomy of his aggressive tone vs his personal mantra “Love, Loyalty, and Respect”, Richy pulls from opposite directions and builds on a wealth of personal experiences and inspiration with an arsenal of emotional power.

Richy makes it no secret that his rough childhood is direct inspiration for his searing, bombastic fusion of hip hop, electronic, and metal. “I got picked on severely in elementary school the small town kids would call me ghetto for listening to hip-hop and the city kids would call me a hick for listening to rock music. I think that’s why I fuse both genres together, it’s genuine.” His first experience with music was learning to play piano at age five. In his high school days, he met Kannibalistik, a local Windsor rapper, who let him use his keyboard to learn how to play. And thus began his journey of experimenting with producing beats and writing lyrics.

He started off performing horrorcore rap under the name 2iLL which was soon changed to Repulse. Eventually, the final name change was Richy Nix inspired by the novel Killshot by Elmore Leonard. He released his first album entitled No Romance (2003) which was also written and produced solely by him. He also released three mixtapes with other local rappers in Detroit during the same time.

He soon became the #1 unsigned artist in Canada on the Myspace Music charts which led to him getting some attention on major radio station 89X (88.7 FM Detroit/Windsor). He released his 2nd album called Love (2006), which combined all the styles and skills gathered in both the hip hop and rock worlds. He broke the People’s Choice record on 89X with 21 consecutive wins on December 8, 2008. He released Hell City (2009), and Note To Self EP (2010).

His debut album with independent electronic rock label FiXT in 2015, Fearless, mixed by Joey Sturges (Asking Alexandria, The Devil Wears Prada) was a bombastic testament to triumph over adversity. In 2016 FiXT released Nix’s Fear Me Now, a remix EP that highlights the diversity of Richy’ skills with a line-up of raw talent from all walks of life, from the aggro electronic metal of UK EDM sensation Muzz, to the Venezuelan masked-man DJ Zardonic, and an epic synth mix from FiXT alum Josh Money.

Richy Nix has toured nationwide playing shows with Papa Roach, Saving Abel, The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, Drake, Ke$ha, Paramore, Weezer, MGMT, Bullet For My Valentine, Godsmack, Rise Against, Deftones, Rob Zombie, Limp Bizkit, and others. In 2012 he wrote the official song of the 2012 PGA Tour, “Superstar (Part 2).”

“I believe that we are at war with Evil and I am one of the good guys and I’ll never give up. I make music to uplift others who don’t have a voice.” – Richy Nix
