Thank you for listening!

I tried to combine my 3 main ideas I had in the very beginning into one whole song. By doing that I thought I could also try and tell a story about someone that goes through a dark time in the beginning but a cleared and ready to go head at the end. Therefore there is the dark part at the beginning, the awakening part in the middle (break) and the "I'm ready for everything that happens" part at the very end.

We are more than happy to announce this special Victor Ruiz x Customized Culture collaboration which includes an outstanding EP by the Brazilian master himself and a unique fashion drop. The message is simple: SPREAD LOVE. It has never been more relevant as in times like these. Music and fashion unites people. So let this message spread the world.

HOPE is a driving and powerful techno roller with jittery percussion and bright synths. It builds the atmosphere with moody vocals and sci-fi vibes that are all pervading. 

Elysium then layers up edgy bell sounds and sleek synths into a mind melting groove that really locks you in.

This is an EP that will unify people on dance floors all over the world.

Format: Digital
Release date: June 26th, 2024

The Escaping Gravity EP by Craig Heneveld is a hallucinatory techno odyssey that mirrors several transformative experiences in the formless realm. Spanning five tracks, the EP captures a journey from introspection to raw, unguarded energy. The grooves flurry between static and broken beats, setting an atmosphere perfect for both contemplative listening and energetic dance floors.



Escaping Gravity opens with “Planetary Pinko,” a buoyant, playful, atmospheric techno track whose percolating sounds bubble up from the void as if they were let through a cosmic zipper that tears at the fabric of the song - setting the stage for navigation through space and sound.

The next track, “Neutral Nitro,” kicks into gear, as if the vehicle for this EP is forced to propel into hyperspace by a sudden cosmic event. Rather than a casual jaunt through the expanse, this “Neutral Nitro” feels more sinister. Confined dub chords are at the center of this track that loop - eventually opening up, scattering, and surrounding the track like a storm engulfing a ship at sea. This chaos is marked by a broken beat kick and a rapid-fire of hi-hats that seem to ignite the track into an evasive maneuver into the dead of space.  Here the listener becomes confronted with the feeling that they are not alone due to the alien croaks that bubble up from its depths.

During “Spacewood” we’re cruising through gravity’s waves. Deep, sultry bass and jackin’ claps dance around open reverb-laden hi-hats that keep the pace while the occasional flutters of closed hats act as the thruster that propels it to the next level. Modular arpeggios oscillate smoothly in tandem with all of these elements, possessing the listener, as if influenced by an ancient ritualistic force.

“Veiled Verses” is less subtle. At this point, the euphoric hallucinations of “Spacewood” have turned diabolical. Any essence of cosmic benevolence has been replaced by menace. A kick drum, as furious as a meteorite colliding with metal is omnipresent, seemingly driven forward by the mad delusions of indecipherable chants. A funky, hypnotic bassline and living drumline acts as the tracks lead, pulling the listener deeper into the dark. Submission is simply the forces of gravity keeping one oppressed - a feeling one seeks to escape from. That is never more apparent in “Escaping Gravity,” the EP’s eponymous song.

[PREMIERE] ANDATA X Iosep - Kryptonit (Original Mix)

Stephan Hinz may be making his debut on Nicole Moudaber’s imprint but he’s by no means a debutant in the game. With a body of work dating back to the late 2000s featuring labels such as Watergate, Intec, Second State, Drumcode and more, it was only a matter of time before his dancefloor-tailored, mix-optimised dynamics found themselves on MOOD.

Armed with a restrained sense of funk and space, Hinz’s strong groove craft is established across three very distinct arrangements. We ignite with ‘Outreach’, a track that builds drama with relentless drums before being stripped right back for a humanised loop to flicker and falter through the rising drama. Heightened by every
strike of the succinct two-note riff, it’s guaranteed to leave the floor putty in your hands before the main breakdown.

We stride forward into the techno unknown with ‘Phantom Move’ where an ominous analogue texture takes the lead with the persistence of a foundation electro cut. Raising in velocity and sheer breadth, it teases with a bigger riff potential on every fill. Powered by a thunderdome drum set, peppered with dubby overlays, Hinz is on a real trip… And everyone is invited.

Finally we hit ‘Resonant States’. Here we find Stephan somewhere deep in warehouse mode with a dynamic that’s fat enough to justify clinical classification and a loop-driven groove that’s persistent enough to warrant an injunction. Infectious to the core and coded with the same ingredients from the sonic spice rack shared by
Berlin and Detroit, it’s a climactic closure to a pivotal chapter from Hinz. With sounds as strong as these we suspect MOOD will happily welcome him again in the near future…

Riding high on the success of his EPOCH EP in February, John Monkman makes his debut on Crosstown Rebels with HARMONIX, a celebration of the Moog Voyager, whilst techno heavyweight Matrixxman supplies the remix.

A true master of his craft, Monkman has been creating music for over a decade and his passion and experience shine through his productions. HARMONIX was born after the UK producer and DJ limited himself to just one synth, resulting in “interesting harmonics and a rawness that comes from syncing the oscillators, combined with an overload hack that gives the sound a little more juice”.

Sophisticated and formidable, HARMONIX 1 and HARMONIX 2 are orchestrated around the legendary Moog Voyager, with charged high hats that fracture the driving beat. US producer and DJ Matrixxman completes the EP with an imposing remix, verging on cinematic and brimming with atmosphere.

Continually building on his solid reputation, John Monkman has previously collaborated with Pete Tong, and released on labels including; Kompakt, Get Physical and Noir.

Herzstück

A form of dancing meditation is what „Cogitatio“ eventually happened to feel like while listening to it. 
The details which build a variation between between „inner“ and „outer“ sounds could inspire you to open your inner world and put it out there, and vice versa. 
During a listening session one thing has been said about „Cogitatio“: „Energy is pouring in and out of me“.
We want to remind to the content of awareness, which is not only a matter of perspective what it actually is but and maybe therefor we shall deal with it in a sensitive, open hearted way and share it with the world while inspiring others to do so, too.
