Jason Stephens (aka Ironx Ix) is an independent musician, artist, and producer who grew up in love with the nascent post-punk and industrial music genres. Today, he maintains that love of electronic and industrial music, releasing unique, contemporary tracks, that are yet still reminiscent of the late 1980s Industrial Dance revolution.
Growing up in Tucson, Arizona in the 1980s and early 1990s and attending Project M.O.R.E. alternative high school, he made music with his friends. He cut his teeth on a Korg DW 6000 synthesizer, Alesis MMT-8 midi sequencer, electric guitars, and acoustic drums. His musical sensibilities were greatly influenced at this time by bands and artists like Skinny Puppy, Revolting Cocks, Ministry, Godflesh, My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult, Laibach, KMFDM, Pigface, and many others.
Ironx Ix tracks are eclectic and grounded in dark vibes, heavy electronic beats, cut-and-paste vocal sample dialog, and deal in themes such as the occult, war, and the self-destruction of society.
“Nuclear Winter”, Ironx Ix’s debut EP, was released on July 13th, 2024.
“The initial showing of a new project, this EP doesn’t mess around. … like if Velvet Acid Christ and Intermix (specifically the first two releases) had a beautiful, knife-wielding baby. … Richly layered and textured, this is a very strong debut, ” –Skull Cultist
