X×X

X×X is a Belgian electronic music duo formed in 2010 in Ghent, Belgium. The project consists of producers and DJs **Wesley Deprez** and **Willem Van de Velde**, who collaborate under the moniker X×X. Their music blends elements of house, techno, and trance, often characterized by melodic hooks, driving rhythms, and atmospheric textures. The duo has gained international recognition for their energetic live performances and critically acclaimed releases.

Deprez and Van de Velde met while studying at the Royal Conservatory of Ghent, where they developed a shared passion for electronic music. They began releasing tracks under the X×X name in 2010, quickly building a following through their unique sound and dynamic sets. Their debut single, "Ride," released in 2010, became a standout track in the Belgian electronic scene. Since then, they have released numerous EPs, albums, and remixes, collaborating with artists like **Oscar Mulero**, **Sander van Doorn**, and **Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike**.

X×X’s discography includes notable tracks such as "Ride," "Lift Me Up," "Breathe," and "Runaway," which have been featured on major playlists and festivals worldwide. Their 2013 EP, *Lift Me Up*, and the 2018 album *X×X* (released under the label **Spinnin’ Records**) showcased their evolution as producers, incorporating deeper basslines and more experimental arrangements. The duo is also known for their high-energy live sets, often performing at festivals like **Tomorrowland**, **Ultra Music Festival**, and **Awakenings**.

Beyond their musical career, X×X has been involved in charitable initiatives, including their participation in the **Tomorrowland Good Vibes Tour**, which raises funds for humanitarian causes. Their influence extends beyond Belgium, contributing to the global resurgence of melodic techno and house music in the 2010s. While they have maintained a relatively low public profile compared to some contemporaries, their dedication to craft and innovation has solidified their reputation as key figures in modern electronic music.
