For anyone who’s danced through the evolution of European club culture, Tom Wax is more than a name — he’s a chapter in the book. Now, with the release of his massive 21-track album The Future Is Now, the Frankfurt-based veteran shows that his creative engine is far from slowing down. If anything, it’s firing on all cylinders.

Released via his long-running label Phuture Wax, The Future Is Now is a genre-hopping, rhythm-driven statement piece that connects Wax’s rave-era roots with today’s forward-pounding techno. From deep, rolling grooves to acid-laced breakdowns and high-octane peak-time bangers, this is an album designed for both heads and hedonists.

Across the project, Wax brings in fresh collaborators including Drea Perlon, Sikøra, Kevin Dukes, and Bill Brown, injecting soulful touches, haunting textures, and cinematic edges into an already expansive sonic universe. But make no mistake: this is a techno record through and through, pulsing with tension, built for big rooms, and unapologetically fierce.

What sets The Future Is Now apart, though, is its refusal to coast on nostalgia. This isn’t a legacy act resting on past glories, it’s a future-forward body of work that slaps with intent, polish, and purpose.

Bottom line? Tom Wax just delivered a techno album that’s as relentless as it is refined. If you’ve ever lost yourself in a warehouse to a strobe-lit kick drum, this one’s for you.
