Rumbling beat, mind-bending dub chord and atmospheric safari by one of the absolute veterans of the Icelandic techno scene. Q-Box was originally released in 1999 on the legendary Thule Records and has since then been one of the ultimate go-to dub techno tracks for DJs worldwide. Now, 22 years later, the release has been remastered – and to add a little sprinkle to the cake we have worthy remixes from some of the mightiest of the current Reykjavik techno scene.

The 2x12“ limited release begins with the minimal techno banger Haus Í Krukku – an repetitive fist bumping anthem which works the dance floor as well today as it did back in the days. Followed the quirky percussion-based Áttfalt – a track done in collaboration with his father. The B-side starts with a rumbler Gegnum Skráargat, a groovy minimalistic dub techno delicacy. Steadily paced backroom anthem with chords that‘ll make your knees weak. Closing the side is Spællt, evocative & dubby mind-evolving.

The additional 12“ with the remixes starts with LaFontaine taking on Haus Í Krukku. The Icelandic boy wonder takes no prisoners and spares no effort in making it a essential one. Next is the veteran dub techno titan Octal Industries with his remix of Áttfalt - an effortless and groovy rendition of the track. An absolute belter. Finally the D-side has couple of the remixes from the enigmatic dub techno producer Waage, who has swept the scene recently with his „W“ series releases. He offers his signature sound – a perfect balance of drums and sound.

XOZ has been operating since 2017 and this is the tenth release so far. Also operating under the same regime is the side-label Planet X, where the more harder side of techno is explored. Both of the labels are the brainchild of the Icelandic techno artist Exos.

Subosc launches its new CD series with a special full-length release by Corell.

The album showcases a powerful set of ambient/techno contributions. Through the full playtime, drum structures are interleaved by immersive and rarefied elements such as modulated noise and field recordings. The percussive elements are specifically tailored for each track, in order to match the character of the soundscapes. The diverse, captivating, and minimalistic approach gives an interesting and experimental vibe to the tracks.

The unique sound palette offered by Corell can be described as organic, classy, and sophisticated. An intense photonic delivery is balanced with explorative, rarefied, and spatially rich soundscapes that bring ecstatic stimulations to the listener.

Hypnosis and darkness accompanied by an outstanding and crafty use of effects and modulations can be clearly perceived in this release. Transitions from fully rhythmic techno to more meditative soundscapes give place to an evolving, complex, and coherent result.

A rich sound experience that fully entails the Subosc label concept and its vision of modern techno. Don't miss it! Limited to 100 copies.

Corell - Transitional Change LP (SBCD001)

ABSIS' 'Speed Traces' is a track that instantly caught my attention with its hypnotic beat and captivating rhythm. The track is part of 'Saw' EP, which deep dives into the world of low-slung techno. 'Speed Traces' features a half-step rhythm that creates a groovy, almost trance-like atmosphere, drawing the listener in and keeping them hooked from start to finish. The percussive elements are intricate and precisely layered, resulting in a rich, dynamic sound that evolves throughout the track. The two sequences within the track flow seamlessly, each building upon the previous one and creating a sense of momentum that drives the track forward.

The track has a specific energy that's hard to describe but impossible to ignore - it's the kind of track that grabs you by the shoulders and makes you move. I can imagine this track coming on in a dark club, with the strobe lights flashing and the bassline vibrating through the floor (oh wait, that's exactly how ABSIS' set at Mostra sounded and looked like!). 
The rich and nuanced sound design shows ABSIS' expertise in producing techno, and the overall mood and atmosphere of the track make it a perfect addition to any techno set.

Saw EP is coming out on April 21 via the consistently good German record label AFFIN.

After a break in releasing Bond is now back with its originator Petter B performing four new tracks. The Daemon within is a journey alongside a dark force that many of us carry. The divine voice that steers us to great deeds and keeps us exploring. But also the one that at times pulls us down into the abyss where one easily can get lost. An abyss where time keeps on ticking but nothing advances. These tracks represent a way through and a way forward
