It’s All a Dream

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.

Tried to Go

Sometimes the darkest feelings provide, in a painful paradox, the biggest of pleasures. 

The DJ and producer Insolate demonstrates the truth of this analysis by producing rough & dark techno infused with emotion inspired by her 20 years as a DJ.

Hailing from Osijek, Croatia, on the wide Croatian East – a town that at first glance a heavy industrial atmosphere overshadows - this is where she made first steps as a DJ back in 1997 before taking over European and worldwide clubs. 

She's already played some of the world’s most renowned clubs including Berghain, Rex, Tresor, Under Club, Club d’Anvers, Unter, Exit Festival, Tomorrowland, ADE and Dimensions Festival plus numerous Colombian tours over the years and USA tour and Argentina added to the list in 2018. 

As a producer, she's had a string of releases on highly respected labels including DJ Deep's Deeply Rooted, Marcelus’s Singular and Developer’s Modularz - supported and played by some of techno's finest including Laurent Garnier, DVS1, Dax J and Ilario Alicante. This year, she also released the stellar Obscure Object Of Desire EP on JoeFarr's new User Experience imprint, two original tracks that stroke the perfect balance between groove, power and emotion. She also contributed to Ben Sim’s compilation Tribology among giants as Planetary Assault Systems, Oscar Mulero, Steffi etc.  and also made super interesting collaboration with french producer Arnaud le Texier and released EP with him for Prodigal Son.

Insolate is also a major contributor to the Croatian techno scene, so much so that she was in Ibiza to receive the award for "Dance Nation of the Year" at the DJ Awards on behalf of her nation. Her and long-time partner in crime Volster also run the event series TRAUM in her native Osijek. Not traditionally a city with a strong techno scene, the TRAUM events have cemented their place in the clubbing calendar with quality artists like Paula Temple, Antigone, Cassegrain, Janice, Etapp Kyle and Milton Bradley. 

The success of the TRAUM nights caught the attention of Red Bull Music Academy and Dimensions – both of which they have hosted official events for. Insolate being an international messenger of techno was recognised by Ambassador award that gave her a title "Croatia’s ambassador overseas" for 2017.

The final part of putting Osijek on the techno map was taken in 2015 with the launch of the label Out Of Place which Insolate runs with Volster. The label was named in honour of the beautiful struggle of carving your own way into the scene from a place that's well off the grid from the traditional capitals of techno. Now three releases strong, the label has already had contributions from heavyweights like Milton Bradley and Developer. Label is currently on the 4th edition with a new release coming out in summer 2018 including artists Francois X, JoeFarr and Disrupted Project.

As a DJ, Insolate is well known for her no-compromise, pure-bred techno sets. It's clear to anyone who's seen her perform that she's an artist with a lot of experience but also plenty of inspiration and ambition, and a deep knowledge of techno. She is simply a natural presence in a DJ booth. If you've seen her play, you will know exactly what this means.

We begin the week with a brilliant Guest Mix from David Boldt, known in the techno world as Modig.
 
David was part of the band ‘Grey Television’ for many years, until the turning point came in 2014. The band decided to split up and David chose to pursue his solo career. Electro- nic music is especially important for David, because it has never failed to provide shelter through his career as an artist and especially when the everyday life showed the harsh limits of following his personal interests.

In the early years of his solo career David experimented with elements from his indie rock band past, as well as with influences of neoclassicism. He impatiently tried out many new things with the ambition to see quick successes.

Already in 2015 he had his first live appearances as a solo artist with electronic self - produced music. Back then his style of music wouldn’t yet be considered as techno, but was a stopover between his bands “Grey Television” style to David’s very own unique style of music today.

A first highlight of his music career was when he was invited to Norway for the Oya Festival, where he played live in front of 1.000 people. Self -confident, open-minded and perhaps also led by haughtiness, he worked out his place on stage in front of the audience. "Modig!”, which means courageous in Norwegian, was the feedback the audience gave David, they considered it courageous when he revealed that he had only rehearsed twice. Thus the name "Modig“ was found as a pseudonym for his artistic work as a producer and DJ. 

In the following years David constantly aimed to experience and explore new, unique things that contributed to his artistic work. This also included an open- hearted preoccupation with analogue synthesizers.

Modig is fascinated by the club life of his hometown Berlin, which can be observed in clubs like Berghain or Tresor. Moving bodies without a break: That‘s all he has ever wanted!

His first release on in 2019 on @soma was “Latissimus”, and is a collection of one- takes resulting from live sessions. Without exception they are statements and don’t miss Modig’s unique handwriting or haughtiness.

Just as impatient, unrestrained and self -confident as David himself. Since, he went to release on Soma again in early 2020, as well as being invited on Slam Radio by the Scottish duo at the helm of the iconic label.
