Presents His X-Factor Vol. 1

The Richard X story begins at the start of 2001 when he accidentally instigated the craze for making bootleg mash-up records. Secretly working under the name Girls On Top, Richard released a limited seven-inch featuring the Whitney Houston-meets-Kraftwerk contemporary classic 'I Wanna Dance With Numbers'. This icy electronic R&B anthem took the club scene by storm. Now newly signed to Astralwerks and following his (let's be honest) unexpected success with the remix of the Sugababes #1 UK hit 'Freak Like Me', as well as the summers smash hit 'Being Nobody' with Liberty X singing Chaka Kahn 'Ain't Nobody' over Human League's 'Being Boiled', Richard X has teamed up with a dream team of collaborators to create the perfect twisted pop album. In a logical extension of his Girls On Top activities he's recorded material with Kelis, Liberty X, Sugababes, Jarvis Cocker, Tiga, Annie, Deborah Evans-Stickland (Flying Lizards), Caron Wheeler (Soul 2 Soul) and Javine pairing them with an equally fierce parade of 80's pop references/influences so golden it'll leave you breathless.
