Ohrwurm returns this 28 April 2023 to Pisco KL, bringing back to KL, all the way from the Arctic, Iceland’s techno wiz Exos.
Exos (Planet X / Figure, IS) is one of the most experienced techno artists from Iceland since the mid-nineteen nineties.
Exos has released more than twenty vinyl records and four albums over the years. His debut appeared at age 17 with his first EP on Thule Records, an Icelandic dub techno label, known for its rare signature minimal sound. His third album, 'My Home is Sonic', was reissued in 2015 by Dutch mainstay Delsin Records. It's lauded as a classic of modern dub techno and was voted the album of the year 2001 by "mbl.is", one of the most prominent newspaper sources in Iceland.
Surging back to the forefront starting in 2013 based on a critical re-evaluation of his catalog, he used this as a fulcrum to renew his already-storied career with new material and reissues of lost classics on Nina Kraviz трип records. At the beginning of 2017, he opened the X/OZ label. His versatility of style and sensitivity both in the studio and onstage are key to his enduring appeal. Teaming up with Lens Faki Figure Records this year and opening his new imprint Planet X for harder versions of Exos.
Also featuring for the 28 April 2023 night will be Ohrwurm head honcho Alam, Malaysia's purveyor of modern techno Kuma, and introducing Taiga.
