    Bio
    Clinton Township, MI. Detroit-born synth-pop innovator JH-X9, the artistic alter ego of Justin Horbes, is making waves with his latest single “Heavy Water.”
    for fusing moody industrial textures with infectious, danceable rhythms, JH-X9 delivers a hypnotic soundscape of fluid melodies, mechanical beats, and haunting monotone vocals that linger long after the track ends.“Heavy Water started as a cyclical melodic line,” JH-X9 explains. “It carried this fluid, melancholy, slightly ominous vibe. The Roland D-10 keyboard gave it an oceanic, melodic theme, almost like Enya’s new age atmosphere, but twisted into something mechanical and danceable.”The single highlights his signature ability to strike a balance between industrial grit and rhythmic drive. Layered arpeggiated bass lines and pounding mechanical beats create an atmosphere that is both mesmerizing and immersive, designed for any setting from the club floor to late-night drives to quiet moments of reflection.Rooted in Detroit’s rich techno heritage, JH-X9 embraces the city’s industrial DNA. “Detroit techno has this robotic, factory-like sound, which I try to carry into my music,” he says. Vocoder-driven backing vocals add a semi-human, robotic undertone, reinforcing the tension between machine precision and emotional depth.A self-taught producer, JH-X9 has evolved from experimenting with percussive sounds made from pots, pans, and junk metal to mastering hardware synthesizers, crafting tracks with polished percussive textures and deep 808-inspired bass. “Heavy Water” reflects that growth, pairing raw experimentation with refined production.The track has already gained recognition from DJs and mix shows within the darker electronic scene, including features on Communion After Dark, a showcase for Gothic and darkwave music, and Synthentral, a program spotlighting synth-pop and electronic exploration. Fans and critics alike have praised “Heavy Water” for its haunting yet danceable structure and stylistic versatility.“Right now, my focus is on versatility,” JH-X9 notes. “I draw from Eurobeat, J-pop, industrial, and techno. Heavy Water is a reflection of that evolution. It is stylistically unique, but it is also distinctly me.”For new listeners and longtime fans, “Heavy Water” captures JH-X9’s bold approach to electronic music, blending melody, rhythm, and mechanical textures into an experience that feels both futuristic and unforgettable.About JH-X9
    JH-X9 is the creative alter ego of Detroit-based musician Justin Horbes (b. 1999). He released his debut album in 2016 while still in high school, earning coverage from international music blogs and radio shows including X-Ray FM’s Songs From Under The Floorboard and Italy’s Whitelight//Whiteheat. In 2019, JH-X9 performed his first live show opening for French coldwave duo Lovataraxx. Today, he continues to push the boundaries of electronic music, merging industrial, techno, and synth-driven elements into a sound that is as moody and mechanical as it is immersive and danceable.

  • Creator to Creators S7 Ep 55 Larry May
    Sep 17 2025
    BiAs an Army brat, Larry May travelled more than most will by the time he was ten. His parents were stationed in New Jersey, Hawaii, Georgia and Alabama. He moved to Germany at age 7 and was exposed to many cultures and customs that shaped his world view. His family spent time in France, England, Spain and Scotland before moving back when he was eleven.
    He was an avid reader and listened to music incessantly in his room.
    His teens were typical of a small town Southern upbringing. He grew to love Alabama and its denizens. He also questioned some things that were commonplace. He met the girl that would be his wife when they were both seventeen. She took a young man mad at the world and stood him up, dusted him off and was patient while he figured it out. They opened CD Cellar Christmas 1997. The store has been through many iterations but continues to be based in a love for music and serving its musical community. Larry was responsible for starting a music festival for downtown Anniston. It ran for five years and brought national level talent to his hometown and also thousands through its gates. This spawned an art gallery and also reviving the Christmas parade under his watch.
    The couple’s son, Andrew, was born in 2004. He’s an accomplished musician that plays with his band, writes and records their music and also is a full time student at JSU. Larry has written a music column for the Anniston Star newspaper for well over a decade. He interviews national touring artists as they traverse the Southeast.

    Bio
    The video for “Neon Dreamers,” the latest single from Arcade Knights, opens on a futuristic cityscape reminiscent of Blade Runner or Tron. As the visuals unfold, soaring vintage synthesizers and thunderous reverb-soaked drums create a cinematic soundscape. Digitized female vocals deliver the track’s core message:We’re the neon dreamers lighting up the sky
    Chasing our tomorrow, never asking why
    With our hearts electric, breaking through the dark
    In this digital world, we’ll make our markEvoking the atmosphere of the Stranger Things soundtrack as much as Daft Punk, the song explores a timeless question: What does it mean to be human in a world dominated by machines?That question lies at the heart of Arcade Knights, the synthwave-cyberpunk electronic project of Canadian musician Dean Parsons. Known for his deep love of 1980s drum machines and synthesizers, Parsons incorporates authentic hardware such as the LinnDrum and Oberheim OB-8 into his work. While modern software can replicate these sounds, he prefers the analog warmth and tactile experience of physical instruments, embracing the buttons, knobs, and patch cables that bring a unique authenticity to his production process.Unlike most contemporary producers, Parsons creates entirely outside of a digital audio workstation. Every track is written, recorded, and mixed using his MPC hardware sequencer, a process he believes allows more emotion to come through the physical act of playing.“My main production machine is not a DAW,” he explains. “Every track, every note, every melody is crafted and recorded through purpose-built hardware. There’s a lot of heart that comes through the keys and pads.”“Neon Dreamers” serves as a companion piece to Cyber Hack, the full-length album released earlier this year. The record tells the story of hackers raised in an AI-driven world who use their skills to protect humanity, ensuring technology serves people rather than controlling them.The theme reflects Parsons’ own life. Growing up in the 1980s surrounded by Commodore 64s and science-fiction films like Terminator and RoboCop, and later working as a cybersecurity expert, he has lived at the intersection of the analog and digital worlds.“It’s important to embrace technology, but not let it control your life,” Parsons says. “Technology is advancing rapidly, and if we continue to depend on it blindly, it may begin to control us. I love technology, but it’s a double-edged sword. The message of Cyber Hack is that we must remain the ones in control.”
