Maxximum Gegnum Skraatgat, a track I heared in a Ill76's mix and it was a magic moment. Groovy, hypnotic, dubby, mental. Absolute masterpiece. Favorite track: Gegnum Skráatgat.

about

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.
