Mood Series #74 features another fantastic new artist to the label. Remote Guest List should appeal to all styles of techno fans and not just dub techno. All 4 of the tracks on 'Years of Silence' have plenty of wide range appeal to the lovers of deep club music. Blurring the lines between deep techno and dub, Remote Guest List's inclusion in the Mood Series is nothing short of glorious. 'Red Valerian' initiates the festivities with a wonderful opener that has wide open peaks and equally deep valleys. Once the break relinquishes, the track opens up to be a bit more spacey then cruises off in style proceeding to hypnotic ending. 'Kudrow' focuses more on the melody evolution, providing a euphoric builder of the tech variety. The BPM picks up for this one but it's more geared towards the well establishing groove that forms far from the melodic elements. The resulting depth that gives off a slight house appeal is pure pure genius. Even techier yet, 'Dianetik' marries some moody lower registered church bells over a sick underlying of sickness that has us thinking early sounds of Mathew Jonson. Lastly, Subterranean Intelligence Network goes even more personal with the innermost dub groove. Another great example where the basslines swell, mutate and change throughout the track. Percussion is on the busier side while the beats are low flung giving that sick rubber band tech sound where both sides of the spectrum coexist only properly with a dub realm. 'Years of Silence' is classic in this advanced approach. Released on limited vinyl dubplate as well as digital this is sure to set the clubs on fire.

AL001. 24th June 2016. Realm Of Consciousness.  

Afterlife and Tale Of Us are proud to announce ‘Realm Of Consciousness’, a 10-piece compilation
expanding the Afterlife totality into a label. The label and events will complement each other with one
aim; to bring the crowd into another dimension of music perception with enthralling production to that
ignite the senses.
The ‘Realm Of Consciousness’ voyage commences with Tale Of Us’ Lies - a fitting introduction with
quivering keys and restrained percussion that engenders an ominous suspense ahead of Monoloc’s
enigmatic industrial techno crunch, Phoenix. Shifting through the haunting chords of Recondite’s dynamic
Murphy’s Law, to the brooding synth of Poseidon by Ukrainian duo Woo York, the realisation of Afterlife
utopia is upon us. The repetitive, mesmerising synth and effective reverb that Somne creates with Triangle
is an odyssey within itself. From there, John Hester’s expertly woven ‘Logan’ is a feverish techno stab that
transverses through the emotional senses, transitioning to Locked Groove’s adroitly crafted Emeralds, to
Ryan James Ford’s ambient, albeit percussive, techno cut Toree Bahrstad. Die Wiederkehr is the outcome
of Obscure Shape & SHDW’s collaboration, which incorporates facets of techno and trance that have
been shaped with real guile and finesse. Mind Against round off the compilation with Gravity - a
mystifying ambience and a fitting title as we touch back down to planet earth.

We welcome dub techno wizard Van Bonn with his own EP ‘Dopamine Clouds’. The German born lives currently in northern Europe where he draws a lot of his inspiration from his walks along the fjords, adjacent forests and open fields.

The three tracks present different facets of Van Bonn’s sound palette. The eponymous opener is a dub techno monolith. Every element is introduced after the other to generate a dub heavy groove before the break welcomes harmonious pads and contrasting dub effects that carry the listener throughout the time left of this 10:50 minutes emotional journey.

The Drill showcases heavily modulated chords on a forward pushing groove spiced with tonal melancholic sounds. Van Bonn only uses a very few elements in Blurred Submission – a slowed down dubby affair that moves away from the 4/4 kick to make space for deeply processed chords and dub signals that call for the remote future.

Van Bonn – Dopamine Clouds will be out on purple-translucent vinyl in black inside out cover incl. colored sticker. The artwork is based on a painting by Van Bonn and edited by timconduit.
