Exos

The son of dub techno producer Octal.

Sometimes is difficult to imagine how far can go the extension of the frontiers of the electronic music scene, how many places can it reach around the globe. What are the limits for the spreading of the quality sound waves? Who can imagine how far can it go, how many life can it change forever? Even the most isolated lands were exposed to the sonorities charged with special contents, one time or another. Many miles from wherever you are is the land of Arnvidur Snorrason, located on the extreme north of Europe, most precisely Iceland. His influences, though, came from far, far away: “to name a few, I would mention Jeff Mills, Robert Hood and the Basic Channel of the duo Moritz von Oswald and Mark Ernestus”, he claims very honestly.

Extremely connected to the electronic environment, Exos, whose philosophy was meant to represent a kind of “Undefined Flexible” line of production, absorbed very early the influences of the Detroit Techno productions. “Their sound floated around the world with massive influences. A huge ground for their music was elaborated in Europe, but not in the U.S. like with most Jazz producers. The thing is that the Detroit members held up a strong connection society, and that might be the reason for their spectacular consolidation”, he confessed, very addicted to their philosophy.
