Biography:

With an extensive catalog of ever evolving music, yet always true to electronica, DPX is an experience not to be missed live, and is certainly a treat to enjoy on a personal level. DPX’s albums are grouped in the form of eclectic almost mash-up style reverence. Much in the style of St. Elsewhere-Gnarles Barkley, The Gorillaz, Brazillian Girls, & Moloko; DPX draws on everything from Soul Infused Latin beats, Technicolor Pop, Modern Grunge and Neo Freestyle. Lyric content and Subject matter range from dark electronica w filtered vox, sci-fi fantasy, tributes to film & directors, anthems for South Beach Florida and Tokyo, vamypric luvlust songs and more.

 

Dance Planet X's (DPX) unique, yet approachable style positions them perfectly for their much anticipated  journey into clubland and the world of DJs and remixes; Their extensive discography and ever-growing popularity, a proud asset to a young label like Sister 8025 records (Their signing label). They enjoy composer representation in Los Angeles from NOMA music; a leader in music placement for film, TV, commercial, video games. As well as world wide Distribution through IODA, exploring  markets from every corner of the globe (Africa , Oceana, Europe, The Americas, and Asia).  Dance Planet X and Sister8025 records are affiliated with Deep C-Star Production, a multi-media company specializing in music video and films. Together, they will have a strong visual presence on the internet and other evolving avenues for traditional and non-traditional music videos/visuals.

Dance Planet X ‘s Lead singer/ songwriter Monserrattz's  BA Magna Cum Laude in Literature/Journalism from University of Miami serves her well. An easy, natural writer with a flair for non-cliche, yet simple lyrics, Monserrattz has always been interested in infusing electronica's digital,  geometric, sometimes impersonal world with the sensibilty of a poet; infusing it with the heat of a blood flowing pulse-fully entrenched in a future world that will always need to express the human experience and condition: No matter where it takes us. Monserrattz possesses one of those rare, signature voices, instantly recognizable. She has a highly individual approach to lyrics, phrasing, melody and harmonies. A stylish, charismatic person fully committed to the creation of music, her musical output is prolific. She is of the breed of the unusual and intriguing songstress: i.e.  Bjork, Eartha Kit; unusual looks, worldview, creativity and level of talent.

 

Iry combines traditional instrumentation and arrangements with a wide range of pop, electronic, dance and downtempo grooves to complete what is Dance Planet X today.  Although primarily a pianist/keyboardist, Iry also has the ability to perform and compose for multiple instruments, with a flair for arrangement and orchestration.  Her ability for musical styles is very broad, having studied classical piano and collaborated in genres ranging from, electronica, pop and R&B to boleros, salsa and menrengue.  Iry also received an Honorable Mention from Billboard’s 10th annual songwriting contest.  She comes from a family of musicians, and owes much of her inspiration to her father, a vocalist and guitarist. She holds a BA in Music Education and is certified to teach music in the State of Florida.
