Some collaborations feel inevitable. When two artists who helped define the sound of an entire movement walk back into the studio together, the result carries a certain weight. That weight turns into momentum on From XS To Eternity, the new full length album from German techno mainstays Tom Wax and Mijk van Dijk, arriving this November via Phuture Wax.
These two names are more than historical footnotes. Tom Wax was a central force in Frankfurt’s techno explosion, shaping the city’s identity through his long running work at Dorian Gray and through AWeX, a project that influenced producers far beyond Germany.
Mijk van Dijk did the same for Berlin. His fingerprints are all over the formative years of the city’s scene. Marmion’s Schöneberg, which he co created, remains one of the most enduring tracks in the global techno catalog.
What makes From XS To Eternity compelling is that both artists resisted the temptation to lean on nostalgia. Instead of revisiting classic formulas, they approached the studio as two producers still hungry for new ideas. The result is a collection of 13 original tracks that feel current, sharp, and fully invested in the present energy of techno.
The album is driven by tight percussion, bold synth work, and a sense of motion that never lets go. Each track reflects the intuition of seasoned creators who understand how to move a room without resorting to predictable structures. There is history behind every sound, but no moment feels stuck in the past. This is techno that respects the roots while aiming directly toward the future.
For techno dance fans, the project offers a rare opportunity to hear two foundational voices in a modern context. It is a reminder that longevity and relevance can absolutely co exist when the intention is sincere.
From XS To Eternity is an album that deserves to be heard on a proper system. It is a body of work built for late nights, open minds, and the kind of dancefloors where experience meets energy. Wax and van Dijk prove once again that evolution is not about leaving history behind. It is about carrying it forward with purpose.
