The Bristol flavour possesses the main sign of good manners — a qualitatively equalized drum section standing on a frame of elongated African-American tunes. A syrupy underground 2-step breaks out, demonstrating the coherence of the leads and the beats. The artistic production at the crossroads of genre facets is proud of its parties of sweet-voiced brass and its flirtatious atmosphere.

Mood Series #84 takes us deep down under with 4 tracks of blazing dub techno escapes for the adventurous. Astralure is an Australian based producer who is new to our label. 'Echo Lock' is primed for dancefloor domination. 'Not Distracted' opens up the EP with a short but sweet trek into rhythmic dub techno. Slightly Detroit inspired but clearly not the normal sound you would hear. Especially from Australia. This is next left representation. 'Shake the Shadow' is a slow hooker that draws in deep to the subterranean groove that sounds one-part mechanical and one-part subharmonic funk. This is unique to say the least! The title track has the most classically trained dub components and overall feel to it. Sonically, it feels sub planted deep in an aquatic realm among itself. Everything reverberates with a slow wobble and shimmer to a very cool effect. We are swimming with a smile on this one! 'Sync-out' is the most chord structured to be affected under this heavy dose of echo and reverb treatment. The beat is consistent and pumping while things make you feel out of sorts or 'out of sync' beneath. Another creative track that completes this standout new EP and artist to the series. We welcome and thank Astralure for bringing a different flavor to our discography. This is something to be heard!

Ajnkana is becoming one of our standout regular label contributors on Greyscale. 'Unnamed Airport' is the 4th project released on the label and each one solidifies Ajnkana as a standout producer of atmospheric and 'take you there' themed dub techno. As the name suggests, this supports the atmosphere, architecture and emotions involved with an airport. To be exact, a new standout and landmark futuristic airport of a successful burgeoning new city. Arrival opens with an ambient intro that really sets the background with which Ajnkana says 'I have long been a fan of Brian Eno's Music for Airports... The airport as metaphysic is sort of a not-place though also certainly the law still applies there throughout.' There is a calmness in the track of people moving about but there is also a slight anticipation of people getting to their destination. Pacing is very key for each composition to expand on the notion of time and space throughout. Percussion elements seem to resemble the tick of clocks adding to the metronome and rhythm of time. There is a bit of mystery left with these expressions. Certainly, an unknown feeling of anticipation in any airplane trek is embodied in 'Embarcation' as things get a bit more serious in the sounds. 'Departure' then takes off so to speak on all of emotions feeling like the only conclusion. A seminal recording in dub techno and reminiscent of the type of feelings harnessed also in Black Dog's 2010 album 'Music for Real Airports'. 'Unnamed Airport' is equally a great dub techno and amazing listening album.

My take on the Neurofunk sound but with a 2step feel.  The vocal sample is from the game Portal.  Not for "soft clubbers" but play it at your local cafe and see what happens.
