Iconic Icelandic techno mainstay Exos returns to Mutual Rytm with his fifth LP, Sweet Dreams. The 12-track record is the first album on SHDWs 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 countrys 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 scenes key DJs. Whether dubby or hard, his techno is always authentic and channels the purity of the 90s style. This new album follows Exoss inaugural X- Release, the Infrared 10, the Icebreaker 12 from last year, and his track on the latest Federation of Rytm IV compilation. Its 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 artists 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 Icelands late 90s underground scene. Glaður og Reifur and Fögur er hlíðinpay homage to the echoes of ancient Viking heritage, North of January conveys the cold of Exoss 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 Exoss 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 weve already left behind. The three bonus digital cuts offer sleek minimalism, punchy deep techno, and suspenseful ambient.

Bassy, percussion-driven excursions by Tartelet affiliate Nelson of the East. Super Deception dives into the uncanny beauty within the everyday, drawing inspiration from M.C. Eschers idea of super deception: the art of creating the impossible without illusion. Nelson of the East translates that concept into sound: deep, tactile basslines and intricate percussion twist familiar rhythms into hypnotic new forms. Textures and samples are lifted from their origins and reimagined, creating tracks that feel both ancient and futuristic, physical and dreamlike. The result is an electronic landscape where sound folds in on itself: a timeless, shape-shifting exploration of rhythm, resonance and perception. Nelson of the East is a Berlin-based sound artist, producer and educator. He operates at the intersection of experimental composition and club culture, shaping his craft both as a music teacher and behind the scenes as an experienced ghost producer.
