X CLUB.

Warehouse techno, rave euphoria

The X CLUB. dancefloor doesn't ask for a label: it asks for speed, groove, and a full-volume smile. The Australian duo, formed in Brisbane and based in London, has turned nineties techno, breakbeat, jungle, and trance into an instantly recognizable warehouse energy. They don't chase a closed genre; they chase that moment when the kick, the break, and the anthem push people forward.

From The Flaming Galah to Hide The Junk

In the late 2010s, an improvised joint session at The Flaming Galah—after DJing separately as Nora Drum and DJ Speed—ended up in clubs like TBC and Oh Hello! and, later, at Meanjin warehouse parties. There, they refined the project, released the Scum EP in 2019, and organized their own raves, also under the GRID umbrella. The record label leap came with Steel City Dance Discs Volume 22 and releases on 1Ø Pills Mate, StayOnSight, 99cts, and G Town Records, in addition to collaborations with Skin On Skin and Pretty Girl. In 2022, they left Brisbane for London to tour every weekend across the UK and Europe.

Label, radio, and increasingly larger booths

In 2023, they founded Hide The Junk, a label and party platform. The HTJ001 EP, with Block Rockin' at the forefront, established a percussive and luminous techno; it was followed by Wrestling With New Technique and New World Expression. They have returned to Steel City Dance Discs with the Stay With Me EP (2025) and have fired off cuts like Frankie Knuckles, which overflowed social media with millions of views, in addition to the CAVE remix alongside Partiboi69. On radio, they maintain a monthly residency on Rinse FM. Live, the arc goes from Boiler Room with AVA in Dublin to the one in Sydney in front of about 10,000 attendees, warehouses in Carriageworks, PICA, and the Wool Store in Melbourne, and dates at fabric, Glastonbury, Awakenings, EDC Las Vegas, or DGTL. Recent crossovers with NOTION and Live From Earth confirm that the duo continues to broaden their range without diluting the punch: today they operate as a club act and as curators of a community—vinyl, raves, and radio—as recognizable as their sound.
