Project-X the band and concept started in 1995 when two friends Torny Gottberg from the EBM/Industrial act EFFECT and Andreas Sandberg from the techno/dance act JSA decided to collaborate on a project together, blending the power from the EBM scene with the club feel from techno. During the summer of 1995 the band worked under very primitive conditions to create the demotape "309 Steps Between". The name of the demo comes from the exact number of steps it was between Torny and Andreas' houses.
