THYX is an electronic music project created by mind.in.a.box front man, Stefan Poiss. The project was founded in 2012 and four full-length albums have been produced. Many of the THYX tracks have a complimentary, but not identical, sound to Poiss's other main project; mind.in.a.box.
The sound of THYX has been described as having a crisp, entrancing, nostalgic, and distinct musical soundscape. THYX crosses the musical genres of Electronic, Progressive, Experimental, Industrial, and Electro, with many tracks suitable for club dancing. Poiss has been noted for using a signature flavor of modulated vocals, synthesized instruments, and dramatic shifts, in many of his compositions.
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. THYX often follows in the footsteps of mind.in.a.box regarding melody, form, and the use of digitized, delicate, machine-like vocals. Yet, THYX distinctly differs from Poiss's work in mind.in.a.box along 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
