Back in 2020, just before the pandemic, we spoke to X Shore founder Konrad Bergström at boot Düsseldorf about the Eelex 8000. None of us expected it wouldn't be until 2023 that the next boot took place.

Things at X Shore have moved on massively, so we spoke to Johan Astrom, CCO at X Shore, to find out more about the evolution of the Eelex 8000 and the new, game-changing X Shore 1.
