If You look at Kraftwrek a German band you can see certain similarities to THEXX and their creation of music. You can hear that they have taken the abstract sounds and applied them to lyrics to create the XX sound. If you listen to the majority of THEXX remix's you can hear sounds layered over the top. Bellow is a clip of Kraftwrek showing how they create there music. This is similar to THEXX music video of crystalised.

XXInfluences.

What are your musical influences? We all have very different influences. Personally, I started listening to soul music, and then I got really into hip-hop, because of the samples, and the UK bass music that's coming out of London. Who are some of the UK bass artists you like? What are the other band members into? This one guy James Blake, who is really releasing some really good stuff this year, and last year. For Romy, she was, when we met, listening to a lot of rock music, like the Distillers and Queens of the Stone Age. And we now listen to each other's stuff as well. But we went through phases with disco and all of it. I think Oliver started out listening to R&B.
