THYX is an electronic music project created by mind.in.a.box front man, Stefan Poiss.[1] The musical act was created in 2012 and has released four full-length albums. Many of the THYX tracks have a complimentary, but not identical sound to Poiss's other main project; mind.in.a.box.[2]
The sound of THYX has been described as having a crisp, entrancing, nostalgic, and distinct musical flavor.[3][4] ThYX crosses the musical genres of Electronic, Progressive, Experimental, Industrial, and Electro, with many tracks suitable for club dancing. [5][6][7] Poiss has been noted as using a signature of modulated vocals and synthesized instruments in many of his compositions. [8]
THYX is self-described as "The wave between sound and resonance." Much in the same manner as mind.in.a.box, the music is heavily influenced by futurist elements and cyberpunk concepts.[9] [10] THYX often follows in the footsteps of mind.in.a.box regarding melody, form, and the use of digitized, delicate, machine-like vocals.[11][12][13] Yet, THYX distinctly differs from Poiss's work in mind.in.a.box in several key avenues such as including a greater influence of musical genre sounds, and more diverse lyrical content. THYX also differs by omitting a reoccurring narrative from the discography such as that which appears across most of the mind.in.a.box albums. [14]

History
THYX was formed in 2012, although project creator Stefan Poiss has indicated that the foundation for THYX was laid around 2000 with the creation of a song entitled "THYX."[19] The song title was an acronym for a particular musical state. Poiss has stated that the THYX music project is about rediscovering this specific, elusive musical state that he found during musical experimentation. [20]
THYX has been described as having taken influences from where other artists in alternative electronic music left off in the 1990s, and thus is distinctly experimental.[21]
In 2012, Poiss created a fan-based track titled Project Tape Evidence. The song was composed of various samples from individual contributors among the THYX and mind.in.a.box fan bases.[22] The project name was in reference to the song Tape Evidence, which is a separate track, appearing on the 2006, mind.in.a.box album, Dreamweb.[23]
