MACHINE ROX started in 2007 as the solo project of Richard K, a member of the Industrial bands MEAT MACHINE and GLOBAL NOISE ATTACK with whom he was a bass player, guitar player and programmer. An early enthusiast in the use of electronic in the Goth/Rock scene of late 80's, he made the natural transition from Goth/Rock to Electro/Industrial. MACHINE ROX evolved into a band in 2010 with the arrival of the female singer Aga. The music is a corrosive blend of Dark Electro, Industrial and EBM and is club oriented. The track "Money Maker" was voted number 5 in the top 10 readers chart in the Future Music magazine and "Planet Sexy" was a favorite on the playlist of Sex Radio.
Richard K is also known as a remixer and has worked on other bands remixes.

Line up:
Richard K - Electronic, Vocals
Aga - Vocals

"Money Maker" single  (Future Music Magazine review)
Heavy beats, minimal melodies and repetitive vocals make up Machine rox's "Money Maker". It remind us of a track you might hear at a post apocalyptic rave,  but coming out of better speakers than will probably be available after the apocalypse. The lyrics are actually really cool and we liked how they're integrated in a whispered "up yours" kind of way. The chorus saves the track from being too repetitive and the melody juxtaposes with the verse really well.

EP  (Brutal Resonance review)
Machine Rox music style is an Industrial driven Electro with not too varied music that gives you the sensation that you are listening to the voices of machines in a factory. Some of the tracks on this five song EP are a bit harder, but most of them have a more poppy sound even though all of them are dance floor oriented. "Money Maker" is supposed to be the headline, but I think is a bit too repetitive and I actually think that the second
track "Cynical Radio" is the highlight of this EP even though "Planet Sexy" and "Go" have a nice feeling to it as well. "God of Rock" has some amazing loops that makes it a good track even though the lyrics are very limited. I really like that the EP is an EP with five different tracks instead of two tracks and a couple of remixes that are usual these days.

EP  (Devolution Magazine review)
Machine Rox is the brain child of Richard K from the Industrial band Global Noise Attack and this Industrial influence is certainly evident on this EP.The sound here is Skinny Puppy like and is dark and Industrial. The tracks are entirely composed of electronics and the lyrics have a seething, whispering quality to them. Track one tunnel vision makes light of modern day consumer culture with lyrics alluding to making money
and buying luxury items such as cars. The repetitive quality to the sequencing is also highly effective as it really helps the track to drive home the monotonous sense it is encapsulating. Outpost relies on the same repetitive club like sound but is lighter and less ambient in its approach, instead choosing to adopt a more Disco-Industrial style (if such a thing exists?). London based Machine Rox are as dark a style of Industrial as you can get and this EP will please hardcore Industrial fans that like their music dark and obscure.

EP2  (Brutal Resonance review)
This is the second EP from Machine Rox that I review and actually my comments don't differ so much from the first review. Richard K has as talent for making great melodies, "Rock is back" is the greatest example on this five track EP. The first tune called "Hello Danger" is also a favourite and like many of the tracks, it has a repetitive refrain that really sticks and is as hard to chase off as a hungry pack of mosquitoes.

EP2  (Devolution Magazine review)
London's Machine Rox are back with more of their acidic Electro-Industrial mayhem. This follow up is a collection of new songs created in the wake of their first EP and follows in the same vein. Opening track "Hello Danger" is hard edged Industrial with a raw and ferocious side to it. The vocals are still whispering like and sinister and the sequencing is still repetitive. "Rock is back" remains dark and progressive in its approach with a repetition that evokes a sense of robotic desperation. They have achieved a more polished sound on this cd, as harsh electronics become a little more refined and well adjusted. "You make me wanna" positively breathes with a disturbing and perverse electronic favour while
"Hacker Fucker" seethes with intense electronics and "Wake up" anarchistic mentally is made clear through lyrics "Wake up, open your mind, wake up, get on with your life" and it reminds me of Hocico in their harder moments.

 Driven EP  (Subexistance Magazine review)
Machine Rox is a very interesting English band. The project of Richard K who decided to use electro beats in Goth music.In 2010, the female singer Aga joined the band and they have released a new EP "Driven" which contains five slices of dark sounds and harmonious tunes. Each track has a different feel to it. The two first songs are dynamic with strong beats and harmonious female vocals. We believe Machine Rox is the future of Electro Goth because of their very special and original songs.

 Driven EP  (Devolution Magazine review)
This is basic industrial 101 fused with lashings of electro that seem to wrap their arms around together quite snug. There are some rather bleeptastic foot stomping glow stick weaving moments on this and although this five track offering is definitely a must have for dance floor DJ's it is actually a very accessible album for everyday listening too. "Made of rock" with its female harmonised sweet whisperings and lullaby chorus teamed with the contrast of Richard K's raspy vocals is the standout track and with the addition of a violin style sound the whole package is a definitive mouth-watering treat. Closer "What you see" is anthemic with its air pumping beats and the rhythm snares you into submission. Though the last two tracks are definitely the strongest each of the five do offer up a slice of the Machine Rox repertoire and a full length release may allow them to show their audience the full diversity of their sound.
