X-Fusion is a solo electronic music project by German musician, producer and DJ, Jan Loamfield known as Jan L..[1] Loamfield began releasing acid house tracks in 1988, and by 2000, had moved to harsh industrial/aggrotech. Loamfield has also released several albums under a side project, Noisuf-X.

Career

[edit | edit source]

In 1988, Loamfield began producing music on a Commodore 64, in combination with organ sequences, before upgrading to better equipment. In 1991 his first demo tape, "Syndromic Noise", was released. This and its subsequent release are usually classified as hard trance. Loamfield soon began performing live at techno parties. His music after this point became darker, and evolved to aggrotech/dark electro. In 2003, he was signed by independent label Dark Dimensions/SCANNER, which marked the beginning of the X-Fusion project.

Loamfield used several neo-classical/orchestral goth elements in later releases, mixing industrial, Aggrotech/Hellektro and Gothic, Darkwave.

The 2004 album Beyond the Pale reached number 6 on the Deutsche Alternative Charts,[2] and the 2007 album Rotten to the Core reached #16 for the year.[3] In 2008, Vast Abysm went to #2,[4] as did Ultima Ratio in 2009.[5]
