Who Is Darxiide? (info)

2009-05-25T15:58:00.001-07:00

This is not a a press release of an ordinary local music group. Darxiide is viral.
It only makes sense that an internet sensation come out of western washignton. The rep is that it rains a lot. With all this rain it means scores of hungry music listeners staying home. In this age of technology, they are on their computers, laptops, netbooks, cell phones, video game systems, blu-ray disk players, stereo and other modern gadgets. Darxiide fills up the vacancy. Darxiide promotes itself as a "viral" northwest rap group (www.darxide.com) Hailing from Tacoma, WA.

They do everything ordinary musicians do.
They play live (Happy Days Casino, Lakewood, WA - nov. 21st, 2009), two upcoming shows (54th street bar & grill - Dec 31st, The Viaduct Venue - Jan 31st) Garnesh radio play (sicill, member from darxiide was featured on The DJ Copydog show in the seattle broadcast area) They have their song "Wanna Bite Me" on internet radio stations hosted by digital DJs. They have their product in the streets; cds, flyers, posters, even ringtones and a store to buy Darxiide clothes and merchandise including physical cds sent to your address. The works. Darxiide takes it another step by using "The Net" as another crucial tool to music success in their local scene.

Darxiide vs Youtube
Darxiide connected with local tacoma jerking crew "The Misf!ts" for the song "Wanna Bite me". The Misf!ts are known to be the second largest jerking crew in the united states after the "Go Go Power Rangers" in Hawaii, with tons of local fans of their own. The Misf!ts have been on KUBE 93.3 and have done gigs at Kube's Summer Jam & with new jerk music sensation "The New Kids". "Darxiide vs The Misf!ts" has this same jerk crew doing their greatest dance moves up until august of 09. So far this video currently has 3000 views in the past four months (2926) views. But while other groups enjoy tens of thousands of hits from around the united states, Darxiide is satisfied with it's seemingly small numbers because as darxiide member Sicill says "We're not big. We're only known locally, we only put out our music locally, do local shows, give out local flyers."

So when darxiide sees a number like 3000 they literally freak. The significance is they're not even jerk dancers, yet they garnish "jerk dance" hits to their webpages. This, they hope converts into fans. So far this video has 6 ratings, all 5 stars. They claim to have an impeccable records, and do not have a "live" viral video rating lower than 5 stars in their history on youtube.

When Viral goes bad.
Not every viral Darxiide video makes it to youtube. The site's filter strips videos who have unauthorized copyrighted media. "For our viral videos, we've been sent legal notifications to stop from Tommy Wiseau films ("The Room"), BMG music, the makers of the film Ong Bak 2". Basically when that happens their video is removed completely from the site. A removed video means removed hits. "Darxiide vs Ong Bak 2" garnished 15,962 view before the makers of the film deemed the video are infringing and then the buzz was gone. A similar action is done to people who use big label music to back their videos on their youtube videos.

Darxiide vs Animal Farm
The list can go forever at the number of the people Darxiide continues to use as viral promotion (thundercats, rugrats, dragonball Z, ect;) so it keeps their fans entertained. "Darxiide vs Animal Farm" is their latest video featuring their song "I Believe" against the George Orwell classic, the editing they do to the video gives it justice and is their current promotion.

So Viral...
Besides their videos, they also get top airplay at soundclick.com, flawless myspace promotion, and even search engine optimization is top-notch. If these things don't make sense to you its ok, its only stats for the techie inclined crowd.

And the Artwork!!!
Darxiide uses unorthodox artwork instead of your usual photographs. They have created their own "cartoony" style of animation on their music mixtape covers which draws even more curious eyes to them. Using adobe photoshop, adobe illustrator and a couple other programs (they won't give out their secret) they create masterpieces as far as artwork for the northwest hip hop scene.

Darxiide

Darxiide sounds like Bootcamp Clik Vs Bone Thugs-N-Harmony Vs Outkast if they grew up on the westcoast. Darxiide has five members (Dru Breez, Dru Filthy, Hypo, Savi, Shame, Sicill, tVicious) We create our own music from instrumentals to the mixing in our workshop/studio, use the web, create music videos, interesting stories and put songs in the clubs and on radio to generate interest. The name “Darxiide” stands for the untapped shroud of mystery in northwest music, the “Xii” in Darxiide, was put after knowing about other rap groups with the name Darkside, Xii is just to seperate us from them.

Darxiide resides in the ‘notorious’ Hilltop/Downtown area of Tacoma, WA (pop. 200,000), betwwen urban cities Seattle, WA and Portland, OR. Although young, (all under 23) Darxiide are seasoned from doing gigs, album, soundtracks, songs played on the radio for the past five years.
