DX is the only studio album by American hip hop record production duo Friendzone.[5] It was released on October 9, 2013.[6] A music video was created for "Poly".[7][8]
In an interview with Fact, James Laurence said, "DX is an album 100%, this is our heart and soul."[9] Dylan Reznick said, "I wanted to make an album that would make people's heads spin, make them rethink their ideas about music a little."[9]
Fact placed the album at number 47 on the "50 Best Albums of 2013" list.[10] Writing for Fact, John Twells described it as "the most distilled example of their sound – a sunny, hopeful fusion of 16-bit melodies, anime joy, IDM fuzz and Atlanta beats."[11] Cokemachineglow placed the album at number 3 on the "Top 30 Albums 2013" list.[12] Brent Ables of Cokemachineglow wrote, "it marks their progression from top-notch producers to genuine composers in their own right."[3]
