Iconic Icelandic techno mainstay Exos returns to Mutual Rytm with his fifth LP, ‘Sweet Dreams’

The 12-track record is the first album on SHDW's influential label and explores the past, present, and future of techno.

Planet X label head and 20-year scene veteran Exos, hailing from Iceland, draws on his native country's influences in his work, which explores the interplay between light and dark, warmth and cold. His high-octane sounds over the last 20 years have appeared on vital imprints like Tresor, X/OZ, and, of course, Mutual Rytm, with his releases for the label having been extremely well received, garnering support from the scene’s key DJs. Whether dubby or hard, his techno is always authentic and channels the purity of the 90s style. This new album follows Exos’s inaugural X- Release, the Infrared 10", the Icebreaker 12" from last year, and his track on the latest Federation of Rytm IV compilation. It's a real journey through all facets of his sound, including a trip back to his dub techno roots, ambient explorations, and emotional vocal pieces with lifelong memories fused into sounds that reflect the artist’s decades spent in Iceland.

‘Sweet Dreams’ opens with an atmospheric intro in the form of a 28-year-old collaboration with his father. This full- bodied analogue ambient piece is rich with the mysterious tones of the Nord Modular and was recorded during their shared studio days at D17 in Reykjavík. The title track is a hypnotic, linear groove with icy synth modulations and glistening melodies. 'Hinn Víðförli' then brings dub warmth while 'State of Mind' recalls the spirit of the legendary Reykjavík club 'Thomsen', a cornerstone of Iceland’s late 90s underground scene. 'Glaður og Reifur' and
'Fögur er hlíðin'pay homage to the echoes of ancient Viking heritage, 'North of January' conveys the cold of Exos's homeland, and 'Hvarvetna' brings textured percussion and darker undertones before '101 After Dark' slows to a bass-heavy broken beat exploration of texture and post-dubstep pressure.

After the heady and atmospheric sound of 'The Dolphin Oracle', another key collaboration comes with 'Freefall', an emotional breakbeat piece featuring vocalist Amelia Rodriguez,' who also lends her voice to 'Shock', a magnificent track that channels Exos’s modern techno energy. The album closes with a haunting paradox, 'Paradise Lost,' questioning whether our sweet dreams are truly moments of bliss or simply reflections of what we’ve already left behind. The three bonus digital cuts oﬀer sleek minimalism, punchy deep techno, and suspenseful ambient.

Exos's Sweet Dreams LP is set to release on Mutual Rytm on December 19, 2025.

Du nord-est de la France au reste du monde, cela fait désormais 10 ans que le collectif rémois La Forge, né d’une bande de potes passionnés, tisse des récits à travers le son et cultive sa communauté. Cette décennie s’illustre aujourd’hui à travers une compilation anniversaire : le 8ᵉ chapitre de leur série Crysta Ampullaris, qui réunit pas moins de 10 artistes, membres du crew comme amis proches. Car oui, La Forge est avant tout une affaire de famille. Chaque morceau rend hommage à la techno et à la musique club défendues par le collectif, un véritable retour aux racines pour célébrer ces dix années écoulées.

Aujourd’hui, c’est la track « Supercell » d’Ayuji, l’un des membres fondateurs de La Forge, qu’on souhaitait mettre en lumière. Un projet plus techno qu’à ses habitudes, qui s’étend sur huit minutes avec une progression continue, caractéristique de son approche narrative du son.
