Every scene has its originators. The artists whose early moves shaped the foundations and whose influence is still present long after the smoke machines have cooled. In German techno, two of those names belong to Tom Wax and Mijk van Dijk. Now, in 2025, the two pioneers are stepping back into the spotlight together with a collaborative full length album titled From XS To Eternity, out this November on Phuture Wax.
Tom Wax represents the pulse of Frankfurt’s golden era, a time when Dorian Gray set the tone for an entire generation of ravers. His work with AWeX carried that energy into clubs across the world and cemented his status as one of the city’s defining voices. Mijk van Dijk, meanwhile, helped carve the Berlin signature. His contributions include Marmion’s track Schöneberg, a tune that has become part of the collective memory of global club culture.
Their relationship goes back more than three decades. These are artists with enough history to fill a book, yet the studio sessions for this album were not about looking back. There are no retro callbacks here and no attempt to recreate what once was. Instead, the pair set out to create something that feels current and fully alive. The result is 13 new tracks that carry the intuition of seasoned producers and the energy of artists who still have something to say. The sound is direct, physical and forward moving. It avoids nostalgia in favor of a present tense approach that feels refreshingly self assured.
Listening to From XS To Eternity is a reminder that longevity can be a catalyst for innovation rather than routine. This is techno made by two artists who shaped the past yet remain fully invested in the now. They do not chase trends. They build on instinct and craft. Expect a record that demands volume and rewards a proper soundsystem. A release that taps into the heart of the culture while looking confidently toward the road ahead. A meeting of minds that proves history means nothing without the drive to push forward.
