Biography of Exos
Exos is the alter ego of Arviður Snorrason who wasborn and raised in the infamous 101 district of downtovn Reykjavik ,capital of Iceland. As a youngster he played the drums and absorbed influences from all the worlds music. But having heard electronic dance music there was no turning back. He was an avid observer of oldscool hardcore in 92 and drum and bass in 93 and began to spin around, but gradually turned to house and techno in 94-95. At the age of 15 he began to compose minimal techno and early in 96 he got in touch with urban legend, Thor of Thule records, who published artists like Ozy, Sanasol, Biogen and Thor himself. The next year Thulemusik put out three EPs, followed by Mosaic records with Steve O'Sullivan in Britain and Force Inc in Germany, who published two albums and three EPs.
Exos made coprojects with artist Ohm in year 2000 (three records for Force Inc and Tissju records in Iceland). Then Exos made remix projects with Ben Sims and Mark Broom of Theory records in the UK and released a maxi for Symbolism records, a label by Ben Sims. In 2001icelandic AE records put out Exos third album called My home is Sonic, a collection of his best minimal tracks that was nominated for the best album of the year in local papers in native Iceland. As he was maturing his love for music he decided that ultra deep and minimal electronica was his calling. He also got drawn praise for his efforts from such sources as WIRE and AMG along many magazines that serve the dance music scene.
In 2002 Los Angeles based Automat records published an ep called Desert host by Exos who followed his releases through Europe spinning in clubs like Tresor (Berlin) Paradiso (Amsterdam) and Badofar (Paris) to name a few.
