Mood Series #72 titled 'Locked Doors' comes to us courtesy of the very talented and upcoming Ajnkana. '5 19' is a super cool opener that has the perfect amount of tech and smoothness to it. Heady but restrained. Hypnotizing, yet it is pushing the boundaries of the rhythm constantly. Pure class right there. '6 58' is a journey deep into the subconscious. A bold chord beginning soon leaves as a more muted technique plays tricks on your sense. Down deep as you sync in this abyss of audio euphoria. Powerful sounds from Ajnkana. '11 26' is another well-paced piece where what isn't there is as important as what is there. A deep understanding of dub is being presented here. These are definitely unlocking our doors of perception. The album concludes with the most reggae-tinged dub track in '12 9' which returns the album back to the origins. 'Locked Doors' is a prime example at the Mood Series and why the future of the genre is bright. Ajnkana's return to the label has us all excited for their future in the scene. They are one to look for. Brilliant release!

Alexander Bogdanov's debut on Mood Series with Less Is More marks a significant entry into the realm of dub techno. With seven tracks offering various expressions of minimal-styled dub techno, Bogdanov demonstrates a keen understanding of the genre's nuances while infusing his own crisp production style into each composition.

The album opens with 'LIM Dub o1,' setting the tone with its mid-tempo rhythm reminiscent of waves washing over a shoreline. The hypnotic quality of the track immediately draws listeners into Bogdanov's sonic landscape, establishing a sense of immersion that persists throughout the release. Moving forward, 'LIM Dub o2' introduces a slightly techier vibe while maintaining the traditional dub techno elements. The intermittent chords, layered with delays and echoes of varying lengths, create a dynamic texture that keeps the listener engaged. 'Bubbling bassline' aptly describes 'LIM Dub o3,' where Bogdanov showcases his knack for crafting minimalistic yet impactful grooves. As the album progresses, it delves deeper into the darker realms of dub techno with 'LIM Dub o4.' Here, swirling chords evoke a sense of foreboding, adding a layer of tension to the overall atmosphere of the record. 'LIM Dub o5' offers a shift in tempo, introducing a more up-tempo version where altered chord patterns inject a fresh dynamic into the mix. 'LIM Dub o6,' explores heavier beats and deeper bass notes, further enriching the sonic palette of the album. The liquid-like quality of the chords adds depth to the track, creating a sense of immersion that is both hypnotic and captivating. Closing out the album is 'LIM Dub o7,' perhaps the most introspective moment on the record. Here, the chords take on a melodic quality, imbuing the track with a sense of serenity and tranquility. It's a fitting conclusion to an album that embodies the ethos of "less is more."

Overall, Less Is More is a masterclass in minimalist dub techno, showcasing Alexander Bogdanov's talent as a producer and his ability to craft beautiful dub techno. The album is sure to resonate with fans of the genre and help establish Bogdanov as a rising talent in the electronic music scene.

When there is silence outside under the snow
I wish I could be a stone watching from below
The cold masses would provide me with peace
A state of mind I would love to increase

When there is a sandstorm arriving in a big cloud
I want to be able to withstand it alone in a crowd
The sand would surround me and rub against my skin
Like an innocent warm embrace rocking my body within

When there is a thunderstorm with great force
I want to use the lightening as an energy source
The electricity would rejuvenate my tired soul
The loud thunder would chase me out of my black whole

When a hurricane is turning the sky pitch black
I want to be outside and bathe in its violent attack
The winds would carry me to distant lands and oceans
And the rains would nurture my starved emotions.

A heavyweight lineup of dub techno talent comes together for a deep and textured journey. Krystian Shek's Promise features two original productions from himself alongside with reworks from Yagya and grad_u. As a bonus, this collection expands even further with digital-exclusive remixes from Raytek and Noosa Sound System that come with the original purchase. Milly James returns to the label, lending her amazing voice to a release that bridges atmospheric depth with driving rhythm.
'Glow & Shine' locks into a hypnotic groove from the outset, its analog warmth and weighty percussion forming a solid foundation. A crisp snare and hi-hat pattern provide an irresistible swing, while chords and vocals land together in perfect sync, draped in a rich layer of delay. Spacey breakdowns allow the ride cymbal to subtly emerge, giving the track an evolving energy. The closing moments strip things back, with the chords guiding everything to a natural finish. 'Better That Way' shifts into a more melodic space, balancing intricate drum programming with an emotive vocal delivery. The initial rhythmic stutter adds a unique touch before settling into a flowing beat. As layers build, the chords and voice intertwine seamlessly, evoking a deep, contemplative feel. The breakdown smooths everything out, allowing the track to breathe before a striking bassline shift in the final section brings fresh momentum. The last ambient passage is particularly stunning, offering a moment of reflection.
The legendary Icelandic producer Yagya creates his interpretation of 'Glow & Shine' sees it drifting into dreamlike territory, wrapping the original’s elements in a lush, aquatic atmosphere. More of a song than a club tool, it glides effortlessly, capturing a serene, almost weightless mood. On the flip side, grad_u reshapes 'Better That Way' into a crisp, rolling dub excursion. Airy chords swirl above a commanding groove, with well-placed melodic flourishes adding an elegant touch. The arrangement continuously morphs, deepening its hypnotic pull.
Raytek’s remix of 'Glow & Shine' injects a sharper rhythmic intensity, pushing the track into darker, more driving territory. The vocal treatment becomes a focal point, cleverly reshaped to make the singing the true hook. Meanwhile, Noosa Sound System takes 'Better That Way' into stripped-down, immersive terrain. The off-kilter drum work and layered percussion create a mesmerizing flow, while the winding structure makes it a DJ-friendly tool.
This well-rounded collection that explores multiple shades of dub techno, this release has both dancefloor energy and introspective depth. With a strong roster of contributors, it delivers a blend of classic textures and fresh perspectives.
