Tom Wax Returns with New Album
Rather than revisiting old coordinates, From XS To Eternity places Tom Wax and Mijk van Dijk firmly inside the mechanics of modern techno. Released this November on Phuture Wax, the album unfolds as a study in restraint, pressure, and long-form movement. It’s techno designed for extended nights, where subtle shifts matter more than obvious peaks.
Across 13 tracks, the duo focus on flow rather than flash. Low-end weight is given room to breathe, percussion patterns evolve patiently, and tension is allowed to accumulate without interruption. There’s a sense of confidence throughout the record, an understanding of how sound behaves in physical space, especially on large systems where details reveal themselves gradually.
What stands out is the absence of narrative about past eras. From XS To Eternity doesn’t position itself as a statement or a comeback. It operates more like a toolkit: functional, adaptable, and rooted in the realities of contemporary club environments. The album rewards volume, time, and attentive listening, making it equally suited to warehouse floors and late-night marathon sets.
In a scene often driven by immediacy, this release takes the opposite route. It trusts the process. It trusts the room. And it proves that techno built with patience still carries serious impact when the lights are low and the system is doing the work.
