Hypixi

Alex, better known as Hypixi !!!, is an electronic music producer from the southwest of Germany. His primary focus in music is Chillwave and Synthwave.

## Origins

Alex's musical journey started in 2019 after initially helping his brother out with the music for his school project. Although being inexperienced with music production at the time, Alex showed a great interest in music production, specifically for 80s Darksynth/Synthwave type of music, being influenced by artists such as M|O|O|N, Carpenter Brut, Scattle and Pertubator, which had all came as inspiration after playing the 2015 game *Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number*.

His interest in music making slowly dissolved after countless unsuccessful attempts in creating something that he liked, which caused him to put music aside for a long time and focus on other things. In late 2020, Alex reignited his passion for music, putting out his first couple of songs to the public. Since then, music became his central focus, and he has diligently pursued his artistic growth.

Alex's first release was a debut single called "*Aberration*" which he released in September 2020, and until late 2021, he continued to release music in the Darksynth genre, demonstrating his versatility as a producer. However, being dissatisfied with the current music he had been producing, he felt the desire to explore new territories, which eventually led them to the captivating genre of Chillwave. Hypixi underwent a transformative phase in his musical goals with the release of his first EP, "Audio Warp" on August 6th 2021.

The production and release of the EP inspired him to create more calm and chill pieces of music. Shortly after the release, he would go on to make Sonder, a track which was initially conceptualized as a single, though eventually evolved into his first album "Quarter Vision", which after its initial release on June 10th 2022 and being inspired by artists such as Emil Rottmayer, HOME, Voyage and Boards of Canada had significantly built up his musical recognition as a Chillwave artist. Collaborating with artists such as Foewi, Afterift and Ashiibox, the album would go on to become a huge motivation for him to continue making music and work with more artists as much as he could.

After a long thought process, he decided to take his previous works down, leaving only the EP and album in his discography. To this day, Alex continues to make new music experimenting with various different genres, though his main focus still being synth music. His latest release was put out on July 10th 2023 called "Lunar Echoes", which features the artist Voyage, who is a big producer in the Chillwave Community. The release has been gaining lots of attraction and popularity due to its unique sound and recent feature on the YouTube channel Electronic Gems.

On October 2nd, Alex put out his first vaporwave single "海岸" featuring Krystal Kaiser, which is a change-up from the Chillwave genre. On november 11th, just a month after his single released, he put out an ambient EP ''Walkman Opera'' which features 2 artists such as Moure and Ashii Box, both of which he's collaborated with before.

Moving forward to December 28th, Alex released another Chillwave single "Phased Daisy" featuring Foewi, who he had also collaborated with on his Quarter Vision track Nanoflower.
