==History==
Desx created her YouTube channel on February 1st, 2014https://www.youtube.com/c/Desx74/about. Initially under the name "Piggies60", she would upload videos made with MSPaint and the YouTube video editor, as well as simple screen recordings of games like Minecraft and FIFA 14, before uploading many Geometry Dash recordings throughout 2015 and 2016https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OSJdpLbwAgk. It was also around this time when Desx started messing around with FL Studio, a music production program. She would post her music to both YouTube and Newgrounds.https://desx74.newgrounds.com/audio
On July 28th, 2016, Desx would post a Geometry Dash animation made in Flash 8, titled "The Start".https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FllCc39rvv8 Two months later she released a sequel titled "Getting Better".https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvysTPLhFn4 These videos got a fair amount of attention from the community, as Geometry Dash animations were fairly popular at the time. Desx has said multiple times that she doesn't like the first two entries in the series, as they were very low-quality. A year later on August 15th, 2017, Desx announced she was working on a third entry to the series, titled "The Trial". The animation was released on November 23rd, 2017, and to this day remains the most popular video on Desx's channel, being her first video to achieve the 1,000,000 views milestone.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Gg0Z9OLs2E
Across 2017-2019, Desx constantly uploaded videos to the channel, mostly gameplay videos with her friends, with Rev becoming a notably frequent collaborator. Rev and Desx made videos together quite often, such a a few gameplay series, parody Sonic animations and other one-off videos and animations. Rev also started providing her editing to some of the channel's videos, at one point even fully taking over for QOTD 4 having a full episode where she was the one commentating the questions.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ncYCyF3ly_I
On June 23rd, 2019, Desx announced her indie game Boxy Trial.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJN-1fR_5eM Made along a few other friends, it was a 2D adventure platformer, set to have a full story, multiple large levels and challenges. It was released in a beta state, receiving 4 major beta updates across the following year. The last update was on September 3rd, 2020https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=urMzeDVX1so, which Desx states was due to shifting focus to other projects, most notably her debut electronic music album.
On March 28th, 2020, Desx announced that she was working on a debut album called ANANA which was released on February 12th, 2021.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QDrs1vCArE8 Three singles were released for it: Himiko Cloud, Concatenation (w/BlueEyez) and Exobase. The album has a theme for palindromes, being released on 12/02/2021 in a DD/MM/YYYY format, and its length being 50:05. One of the songs, Aibohphobia, had an animated music video made for it, in which the main character, Otto Retter, goes to a palindromic inverse of his planet.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ws3SFkYeGjQ The palindromes concept originated when Desx was messing around with a picture of her cat and mirrored it, and decided to make that the cover to the album because she thought it was funny.https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/516285380144660510/971511979170742362/unknown.png The song Synergy also gave her her first front-page feature on Newgrounds.https://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/1004320
After a long wait, Desx released her second electronic music album Bit Built, on February 25th, 2022. Featuring 11 tracks across a 40-minute concept album with an over-arching storyline, the project took Desx just under a year to complete, facing creative droughts throughout the process.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tdrcYh5zjPI The album's storyline details a story about humanity's technological creations, with a big theme being programming errors. The penultimate song, Limits of Infinity, is the first song in her discography to feature full original vocals. The story culminates in the outro track, Technological Singularity, with an experimental smorgasbord of sounds. The album gained the attention of a few notable people in the dubstep community, such as Connor Whitmore (better known as Nawtystep), Dani Demand and MrKoolTrix.https://soundcloud.com/desx/sets/bitbuilt/likes She'd go on to continue her music career with multiple releases under Neoluminum, a compilation appearance on Broken Vault Records and an official remix for her favorite EDM artist of all time, modus.https://twitter.com/Desxy74/status/1661077588280852488?s=20
On April 18th, 2022, Desx, alongside 24 other music producers, announced the launch of electronic music label/collective Neoluminum (with Desx acting as the label head), with a first release scheduled to release in May 20th that same year.https://twitter.com/neoluminum_ Neoluminum's debut compilation was a standout success, quickly gaining the attention of different figures in the underground bass music scene, with many praising the style and charm of the label.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJ5AJeM3cpg Neoluminum would go on to release more music throughout the year to a steadily growing audience, releasing projects at a consistent pace.
