Mood Series #100!!! Can you believe it? We can hardly believe it either!? 100 releases!!! Not a lot of labels have such a deep and rich catalog that can celebrate such a milestone like this. An amazing accomplishment and we are very proud of the music the series has laid out. We wish to thank the artists, the members behind the production team, and especially you, the audience! It goes without saying we wouldn't be in it if you were not along for the ride. Over 2 dozen different countries have been represented during this series is something we are very happy about. Tracking the progress of dub and deep techno from various countries has been crucial to the evolution and advancement of the sound we so much love.

Since this is a special landmark release, we felt that this should be a special release highlighting the main man behind everything. grad_u! "Transcending Chapters" is a compilation of secret tracks that grad_u has been holding back through the years, waiting for the right time. What better way to celebrate #100 than to have a big salute to our amazing leader with them? Listen as grad_u guides through addictive DJ-friendly dancefloor cuts to late-night atmospheric beauties to stripped-down dub chord massives and then on to broading armchair bangers and back again. All and all, grad_u gives us well over 2 hours of breathtaking techno. grad_u was really holding out on us! These are monumental! "Transcending Chapters" closes the book on the first 100 releases of the Mood Series. We hope you will be along for the next chapter in the label. Thank you once again from the Greyscale camp. We wish you all peace, love, and good health in 2024! The first four tracks will be available on a super limited vinyl dubplate while the following 12 tracks will be exclusive for the digital release. Those who buy the dubplate will also get the full 16 tracks digitally. We also have exciting news that all 16 tracks will be made available on a double CD as well!

The home for Neel’s latest release is quality techno imprint Token where we find things set deep into the dance - a place where Millsian loops hynoptise and perfectly weighted kicks underpin driving hats and glistening atmospherics.

Little is known about Forest Drive West, but the London producer has released a slew of inventive, percussion-driven records over the past few years. On October 12, he'll drop his highly anticipated debut album 'Apparitions' on Bristol's mighty Livity Sound label, and ahead of its arrival we debuted energetic lead track "Cut and Run" on Red Bull Radio's First Floor, our weekly look at what's new in electronic music.

You know how a night out can be so full of vagaries - a cigarette burn on the dance floor, spilled drinks as you walk out of the bathroom, long queues... You walk into a room and feel this soothing pulse of understanding, a radiant sense of care for your well-being carries over through the speakers as pads croon their sympathy to you. As the mental cinema continues to unfold and acid tones combine with a swirling percussive groove, you know you are home. All the ways in which this night seemed to have gone wrong, are just right. For without them, this ethereal moment of transcendence would be impossible. Without them, there would be no Shikha.

Words by Evans Campbell for Monument.
