#18

Artist: Andy Green [Verdant Recordings / Vertex ]

Auditory journey number 18 to the musical Frontier is piloted by our good friend and musical aficionado , Verdant Recordings chief groundsman - Andy Green.   

Andy has already featured on one Dub Explorations show and two different Quadrasphere mixes. As well as playing live for us at our Eastern Bloc events,  so we thought it was due time he stepped up and presented his Frontier.

  As far as musical compatibility goes, Andy aligns with ourselves as well as anybody we know. His depth of knowledge in terms of the deeper shades of house and Techno is second to none. A long time collector and even longer time raver, he has spent years really refining his tastes and it shows across all of his musical output. Everything he touches turns to Green (GOLD). He has a huge variety of mixes and videos on his socials  but all of them are done with a touch of class. Nothing ever feels hurried out of place, instead his contributions to this scene of ours and measured and well thought out.

  In terms of his label - Verdant, again it’s a classy affair. From the first release back in 2016, through to the most recent, every EP is packed with musical goodness. Very much a case of all killer no filler. Combined with constantly interesting and evolving Artworks, it’s a match made in heaven.   

As for this submission to the Frontier, Andy once again produces the goods. Just over two hours of all realms of deepness, touching on house techno and every obscurity in-between.   

We are blessed to be able to call Andy our friend and thank him for all of our collaborations over the years, here’s to many more.

☉ About Greyscale:
Founded in Vilnius in the early 2010s, Greyscale has become one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary dub techno. Built on the dialogue between sound and image, the label treats music as a form of visual and emotional architecture — where atmosphere, patience, and depth replace immediacy.

Each release is conceived as a complete artwork: analog photography, tactile design, and meticulously curated sound come together to form a cohesive identity. Over time, Greyscale has evolved into a global platform representing more than 150 artists, united by a shared devotion to timeless and introspective electronic music.

☉ About grad_u:
grad_u (Aleksandr Martinkevič) is a Vilnius-based DJ, producer, and label owner, widely recognized as one of the key figures in the modern deep and dub techno scene. Active for over two decades, he has shaped a career that bridges multiple roles — from local DJ to international tastemaker — while maintaining a distinctive and coherent sonic identity.
Originally rooted in d’n’b, his artistic direction shifted after hearing Fluxion’s Prospect II, a transformative moment that steered him toward the immersive depths of dub techno. Since then, his sound — suspended between natural landscapes and urban geometries — has evolved through the use of analog textures, tape recording, and a painterly approach to production.

In 2012, he founded Redscale, his first vinyl-only label, created to host his own work and soon acclaimed worldwide. Yet it was with the launch of Greyscale that grad_u expanded his vision into a fully realized curatorial project. With more than 80 releases and contributions from artists across six continents, Greyscale’s Mood Series has become one of the genre’s most respected and enduring catalogues — a global meeting point for established and emerging producers alike.

Beyond his work as a producer and curator, grad_u continues to perform across Europe, bringing his immersive and meticulously crafted sound to clubs and festivals. His presence stands as a testament to a lifelong exploration of techno’s spatial and emotional dimensions.

Interview

Palpebræ Label Mix 03: Greyscale [mixed by grad_u]

Saturday 11th October, we welcomed @federsen, label boss of @altdub, to Inverted Audio Record Store in Peckham to celebrate the release of cv313 & Federsen 'Altering Dimensions Part One'.

Having recently relocated to the UK after nearly two decades in San Francisco, this session marked Federsen’s first DJ appearance on home soil since moving to the US in 2007.

For the occasion, Federsen delivered an all-vinyl deep dive into dub techno, drawing from a carefully curated selection of records by Maurizio, Echospace Detroit, Deepchord, Chain Reaction, Basic Channel, and Rhythm & Sound. The result was a transportive, dub-driven journey that perfectly captured the timeless pulse of the genre.

Big thanks to everyone who joined us in-store and picked up a copy of Altering Dimensions Part One. For those who missed out, we still have a few copies available.

Almost forgot about the anniversary of one of my favorite sets.

20 years have passed since that night, yet it still feels like yesterday.

Most of the tracks in this mix came from my friend and brother, Marko Fürstenberg (aka Surphase / Dolby).

I kept this one close for years, shared it only with a few real ones.

Marko — thanks for the beautiful music, for the unreleased tracks I was lucky to have back then, and for being one of the biggest musical influences in my life.

🎙️El Cuarto Turno – Temporada 2, Episodio 2 I Un animal se detiene… 
En este segundo episodio conversamos sobre El Temporal, uno de los festivales más singulares y poéticos de la escena local. Conversamos con sus creadores, Miriam Mora y Pablo López, sobre los cinco años de vida del proyecto, su filosofía y la nueva edición 2025, articulada en torno al concepto “Un animal se detiene”: una invitación a la quietud, la escucha y la atención en un mundo que corre demasiado deprisa.
La charla se completa con una charla sobre la coproducción que Rebeca (MyMadder) y Jpgr están preparando como broche de oro para Link Ciclo Electrónica Visual.
Y como siempre, cerramos con la selección musical de Pablo y Luis
Hilo musical de este episodio: Pan American – 360 Business / 360 Bypass

El Cuarto Turno Ep #7 (El Temporal, Rebeca G.Celdran & Jpegr)

As the veil between worlds thins, Grey Frequency conjures a haunting soundscape for Deep Breakfast Series. Journey into the shadows...

Grey Frequency is the project of British artist Gavin Morrow. Through the manipulation and composition of electronics, field recordings and found sounds he explores themes of memory, modern mythology and the world of audio disintegration.

About the mix he said:
"A deep-listening blend of haunted ambience, dusty drones and ethereal electronics. Intertwined moments of beauty and unease - light and shade. For best results, please listen to this mix in a dimly lit or no-light environment, preferably in a horizontal position."

Tracklist:
1. Grey Frequency - Demons to Some, Angels to Others
2. Junklight - Last Light (ii)
3. Alva Noto - Xerrox Mesosphere
4. Nen - 4R3
5. Lednik Frontier - Prospect
6. Stuart Chalmers - Nightscape
7. April Larson - Spira Spera
8. Ryan James Mawbey - Something Out of Sight
9. Ron Morelli - Psychic Harms of Economic Deprivation
10. Finlay Wright - Missing
11. Mytrip - We Are All Shadow People
12. Oubys - Impluvium
13. Undveld - Occult & Drawn (V)
