Formed in late 1993, Orphx is a Canadian music duo made up of Rich Oddie and Christina Sealey active in the international techno, industrial and experimental music scenes. They have performed throughout Europe and North America and have numerous releases on CD, vinyl and cassette through independent music labels such as Sonic Groove, Hands Productions, Hymen Records and Malignant Records. The project was founded by Rich Oddie, Christina Sealey and Aron West. West left in 1994 to create the noise project Tropism. Most studio recordings between 1997 and 2008 are credited to Oddie, with more recent output attributed to both Oddie and Sealey.

While earlier releases were identified with the European "rhythmic noise" scene, their more recent work on the Sonic Groove label has gained the attention of techno fans and DJs, leading to performances at high profile venues such as Berghain, Movement, Mutek, and Tresor and remix work for artists such as Perc, Oscar Mulero and Traversable Wormhole. Orphx has also attracted attention for their use of modular synthesizers in recent years. They have appeared in the modular synth documentary I Dream of Wires and will appear in Industrial Soundtrack for the Urban Decay, an upcoming documentary on the history of industrial music.
