Known for shaping the early sounds of techno and house with projects like Arpeggiators, Microbots, and the iconic AWeX track “It’s Our Future,” Tom Wax has spent over three decades influencing dance floors across the world. Now, he’s channeling that legacy into a 21-track journey that spans from deep, club-ready cuts to introspective moments packed with emotion and sharp social commentary.
The Future Is Now features collaborations with Drea Perlon, Sikøra, Kevin Dukes, and Bill Brown, blending Wax’s trademark blend of pulsating grooves with a modern edge. Across these tracks, he pushes boundaries, blurring the lines between underground techno, melodic house, and futuristic electronica, all while keeping his roots firmly intact.
Over the years, Tom Wax has released music on heavyweight labels like Toolroom, Filth On Acid, Suara, Bush, and his own imprint Phuture Wax. With a catalog boasting over 400 releases and remixes for names like Yello, Jam & Spoon, Erasure, and Hardfloor, he remains a true architect of the electronic soundscape.
But The Future Is Now isn’t about living in the past — it’s about evolving, questioning, and redefining what’s next. In an industry often obsessed with instant gratification, Tom Wax delivers an album that invites deeper listening and reaffirms his place as one of electronic music’s true originals.
