I am pleased to present my first vinyl set, which I believe will not be the last. Playing from vinyl is a true art and it has been my lifelong dream, which I am finally achieving and I feel that I can show something for the first time. The following set is a selection of different styles of techno that I like and would like to play. There is still room for perfection, but I still believe you will enjoy the set.

and thank you for listening

Deemkeyne/Nae:Tek - Moraine [Superordinate Dub Waves]

For our sixteenth instalment we’ve invited AERAE, a French DJ and producer currently making her way into the deep and tribal techno scene. 

Over the past years she played at numerous stages alongside renowned DJ’s throughout Europe under her former alias, during this period she was ever evolving as an artist. At the beginning of 2024 her debut EP 'Percussive Reverie' was released on Annulled Music, this EP set the tone for a new chapter in her musical journey. It was reviewed as ‘Best Album of the year’ on the popular German magazine GROOVE, which is a big compliment to her producing skills. 

Some words by AERAE about her mix:
“Through this mix, I aimed to capture the feeling of a walk through an enigmatic, slightly dark forest where wild creatures lurk in the shadows. We can hear the river and birds, offering a sense of reassurance on this journey.”

HYPNOSIS 016 AERAE

For our seventeenth instalment we’ve invited Ridoe, one of the founders of Deep Space Series and a DJ from Belgium. 

Ridoe operates within a vast range of deep, electronic music with a focus on hypnotic, mesmerising tracks that tingle your senses. As curator and resident of Deep Space Series, he’s able to share this vision and invite artists with a shared passion and interest for these deep and psychedelic sounds.

About the mix:
“I wasn’t exactly sure what I wanted to do for this mix. So I decided to just hit record and see what comes out of it. The end result is a mix of emotional, atmospheric tracks and some deep, hypnotic grooves. A bit of ambiguity never hurt anybody, I guess”

HYPNOSIS 017 RIDOE

Luigi Tozzi is an Italian DJ, live act and producer known for his atmospheric and immersive performances. 
He is an adroit manipulator of sounds, reflected in his productions that fall into the deeper, atmospheric areas of electronic music. They are impactful without applying force, evoking a cocoon-like sento in its listeners. 
Tozzi found his artistic home on labels like the Swedish Hypnus Records or Non-Series, where he regularly releases. 
Since his first release on Hypnus in 2014, he contributed numerous times to their catalogue and label showcases. 
His major project on the label is the "Deep Blue" album trilogy released in 2014, 2016, and 2021. 
It draws inspiration from a profound fascination with the oceanic world, a recurring theme in both Tozzi’s life and work. 
In 2023, an especially adapted ambient version of “Deep Blue” premiered in London. Tozzi's releases on Non-Series, like “Tender is the Night” (2019), “Almost Blue” (2021), and “Spiral” (2023), emphasize distinct sound elements and focus on techno with a minimalist aesthetic.

Furthermore, he contributed to a variety of labels like Mental Modern, OUTIS Music and Calipso.

Besides his work as a Live Act, DJ, and producer, Tozzi is involved in sound designs for art and film projects and is known for collaborations with other musicians and artists.

Deemkeyne’s Ending Dynasty marks the 136th entry in Greyscale’s Mood Series, delivering a masterfully crafted dub techno EP that thrives on depth, precision and atmosphere. Across four expertly produced tracks, Deemkeyne strikes a fine balance between rhythmic drive and hypnotic spaciousness, helping it become an ideal listen for those who appreciate the genre’s subtleties. 
Opening with 'Nothing And All', the EP immediately plunges into a vast soundscape. A dense chord progression glides over a tight rhythmic pattern, propelled by a pulsating bassline that commands attention. The track unfolds patiently, allowing each element to breathe, setting the tone for the journey ahead. 'Night Before Spring Comes' follows with a more spacious and contemplative approach. Its steady tempo is wrapped in layers of crackling static, evoking a sense of aged transmissions echoing through time. The minimal yet deeply effective composition leans into classic dub techno aesthetics, giving a hypnotic experience that lingers. With 'Gradientes', Deemkeyne shows a techier edge. Subwoofer-rumbling low-end frequencies anchor the track, while crisp percussion elements create a reserved yet captivating groove. The gradual build keeps tension intact, making it a standout moment for deep-listening sessions or late-night club explorations. The title track, 'Ending Dynasty', is arguably the EP’s high point. A driving bassline underpins machine-like chord stabs, generating a brisk yet fluid momentum. As the arrangement progresses, a well-placed break elevates anticipation, leading into a swirling cascade of cleverly layered elements. It’s a commanding closer with its intricate sound design and gripping sections that help you lose track of time. 
In Ending Dynasty, Deemkeyne delivers four richly textured pieces that embody dub techno’s finest characteristics. Strong chord work, compelling rhythms, and quality production make this EP a key statement in the Greyscale catalog. Deemkeyne makes a strong return to the label with this gem.

PREMIERE : Adjust (BE) - Wandering Spirits [AFDS002]

The second week of September 2025.
Oslated Special Mix 081 - cj Rusky

Augsburg & Munich
Germany

Born and raised in Munich, cj Rusky started to discover his passion for music in the early 90s after visiting several Afro-Cosmic events as a teenager. The wide range and style of this underground music, as well as the skilful mixing of Italian DJs such as Daniele Baldelli, Beppe Loda and DJ Yano, had a profound influence on him, and he took his first steps as a DJ in 2000 when he started playing at student parties. 

The emerging Balkan Beats boom at that time, followed by a growing interest in Electro Swing, was Rusky's ticket to enter the club scene – first locally in his adopted home of Augsburg, then throughout Germany and finally internationally, mixing these genres with other global music styles. 

As his musical development progressed, he increasingly focused on the broad variety of electronic subgenres that were rapidly evolving. This is how he discovered his passion for Organic House, Slow Techno and Slow Psy – always combined with elements from global and world music. 

When the pandemic hit, Rusky used the time to discover new music and expand his spectrum. He currently focuses on Hypnotic Techno, Minimal, Dub Techno and Indie Dance, while always continuing to follow his own motto: music has many genres, but no boundaries.
