☉ Palpebræ Label Mix 03: Greyscale [mixed by grad_u]

Read the interview here: https://palpebrae.com/behind-the-label-greyscale

☉ 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.

#ELVTInTheMix027 features @dj.alaya, a Europe based DJ, curator, and researcher originally from South Asia, whose work sits at the intersection of heritage and hedonism. Now based in Prague, she has become a defining force in the city’s underground through her residency with Hereandthere. Guided by a deep understanding of rhythm, history, and atmosphere, her sound moves fluidly through early house, progressive trance, and shades of techno, bridging the trance-like depth of early Goa with the restless pulse of contemporary European club culture. Having performed for Soft Limits, Harmony Rec., and other forward thinking collectives across venues like Ankali, Planeta Za, and Bike Jesus, Aláya has shared stages with artists including Alfred Czital, Ayu, Feenicks, Mareena, Narciss, and Sedef Adasi.

This mix captures that duality, an elegant journey through deep trance, textured grooves, and reflective atmospheres that speak to both movement and meaning. Designed for late night introspection and collective release, it’s a testament to Aláya’s ability to create coherence in contrast, weaving her heritage into the fabric of modern sound.

Aláya also speaks to us about her favourite selectors and producers from India, a crowd reaction she will never forget, and her non-musical passions. We close out with our signature rapid fire to get to know the person behind the music. Swipe to know more!

Epizode #44 by @dj-abelle

Abelle is a pivotal figure in Moscow's underground scene and indisputably stands as one of
the biggest electronic artists in Russia. Over the past 15 years, she has been active as a DJ,
the founder of major festivals, clubs, and, more recently, a cultural center that has risen to
the status of Moscow's number one venue, Mutabor.
Abelle's influence extends far beyond her homeland. Various events affiliated with the range
of her projects have taken place in key destinations such as Berlin, Barcelona, Bucharest,
New York, Tel Aviv, Amsterdam, and many more.
Her career started in the late 2000s with the launch of the Arma17 club, the jewel of
Moscow's underground, that had a profound impact on the scene and became a home for the
massive community. Abelle's subsequent venture, Outline Festival, received wholehearted
support from the people, achieving instant notoriety and legendary status. The festival
recently made a triumphant return with its 2023 four-day installment at a magical location
outside the capital. It combined open-air and industrial rave aesthetics, with art—both visual
and performative—being the platform for the event. This distinctive touch is a common
thread across all projects led by Abelle.
A seasoned selector, Abelle's musical taste has evolved over the years, predominantly
orbiting around techno and related dancefloor-oriented sub-genres. Her primary sources of
inspiration include avant-garde, ritual, and rare ethnic music.

Subspace podcast 44 – Abelle

Viajamos a los años que sirvieron de bisagra al último cambio de siglo para visitar uno de los sellos discográficos más contracorriente y game changer de la historia de la electrónica. Una editorial musical que con el error como materia prima generó una manera de entender el tejido sonoro, granulándolo, fracturándolo y sustituyendo los acordes por microeventos. 

La disquera de las Mil Mesetas, un mensaje post estructuralista y anti sistema con forma de música. Un lugar de culto sin el menor atisbo de pretenciosidad donde las referencias de su catálogo recorren todos los palos de la electrónica, revisando su estructura y sonido hasta mutar a algo genuino e inspirador. 

Nunca antes los fallos digitales de los aparatos, los cortes del sonido y el abrupto silencio de algo que deja de funcionar habían estado tan cerca del ser humano; tuvo que llegar la música para acercarlos.

Además el elenco de productores que propusieron sus ideas en base a la propuesta anarquista del sello es abrumador, perfectamente se puede decir que de un modo indirecto se citan en él los mejores secuenciadores underground de aquellos años casi sin excepción. 

Es un programa donde de manera trasversal se cruzan la política, la filosofía, la historia y por supuesto la música. Gócenlo fuerte que es un archivo trabajado con cariño, es un electromagnética joder.

以呂波耳本部止
千利奴流乎和加
餘多連曽津祢那
良牟有為能於久
耶万計不己衣天
阿佐伎喩女美之
恵比毛勢須

Although its scent still lingers on
the form of a flower has scattered away
For whom will the glory
of this world remain unchanged?
Arriving today at the yonder side
of the deep mountains of evanescent existence
We shall never allow ourselves to drift away
intoxicated, in the world of shallow dreams.

Mysteries of the Deep CXXII - Garçon | Ihora

Born in 1984 and based in Gothenburg, Sweden. John H has been DJing, as well as producing tracks, since the late 90s, with early musical influences spanning across a wide range of genres, from Detroit techno to IDM, Cologne acid craziness and the sound of Chicago house tracks.

The musical output of his DJ-sets usually spans between various forms of techno, house or acid depending on the time and location. On rare occassions during the summer you might also find him spinning electronica or ambient in some forest in the middle of nowhere.

His goal, he explains, is to give the crowd a fresh and different experience each time, but always taking them on a journey thru sound and dance.

John has performed on several locations all around Sweden, but also done appreciated gigs in other European countries at clubs like Tresor and Culture Box. His music has been released on labels like New York Haunted, Another Earth, Acid Lamour, Riot Recordings, Bond, Sway, Drumcode, HMWL and Flight Recorder, while also being featured in sets by DJs such as Sven Väth, Adam Beyer, Joris Voorn, Dense & Pika, Cari Lekebusch, Alan Fitzpatrick, Misstress Barbara, Karotte, Gregor Tresher, The Hacker and many more.
