The Mood Series continues to push along in 2023 with quality release after quality release. #81 comes to us from a producer who is getting plenty of attention and rightly so! Krystian Shek is becoming a house hold name the last few years especially after in total now well over 25 years of a brilliant music discography. 'In The Dense Of Night' is his latest EP but first for the Greyscale label. The depth you get from 4 tracks here is truly astounding. 'Surabaya' begins the EP on a strong note. There is a tremendous balance of ominous and positivity within the track. It hits all the right notes and is a strong dancefloor mover. Just deep enough but not losing why dance music should ultimately be fun. The title track has a great two-step shuffle to it. Immediately, it has you nodding your head. It already pulled you in with the hypnotic rhythm. From there, things take a turn for the darker...an evil grin appears on your face. For those that like to dance in the dark. 'Fluids' is a gentle builder but don't let that comment fool you. This has just enough tech to get those feet tapping. The break and buildup of the melody is pure magic. Amazing how balanced this track is. Subdued but still crushes. Production genius there! 'Sukhumvit' is the deepest here of the four. The rolling bass frequencies are next level while the track rises and falls so smoothly. Krystian Shek has quite the talent. An EP that is sure to make anyone an immediate fan of his work. We hope to see Krystian back real soon on the label. We can't get enough of this!

Projektbeendigung – Ein persönlicher Abschied
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Mit diesem Beitrag möchte Ich offiziell mein aktuelles Projekt beenden.
Es war eine Reise voller Leidenschaft,
Zweifel, Schaffen und Loslassen – ein
Kapitel, 
das mich geprägt und mir gezeigt hat, wie sehr Kunst aus dem Herzen kommt, wenn man den Mut hat, ehrlich zu bleiben.

Doch jedes Ende trägt den Anfang von etwas neuem in sich.

In den letzten Monaten hat sich mein Blick auf das Leben verändert – durch jemanden, der mir näher steht als alles andere: eine geliebte Person in meiner Familie, deren Stärke, Wärme und Liebe mich auf eine Weise inspiriert haben, die keine Bühne, kein Applaus und kein Publikum je ersetzen könnten.

Deshalb widme ich mich nun zusammen mit der Person, die in allen Situationen hinter mir steht, einem neuen Projekt, dass tiefer geht, aber echter ist als alles, was Ich bisher geschaffen habe. 
Es ist ein Versuch, Nähe, Erinnerungen und Dankbarkeit in Kunst zu verwandeln.

Dieses neue Kapitel entsteht nicht aus Ehrgeiz, sondern aus Liebe.

Ich danke allen, die mich auf dieser bisherigen Reise begleitet haben – für euer Vertrauen, eure offenen Ohren und Herzen.

Was jetzt kommt, ist kein Abschied von der Kunst, sondern eine Rückkehr zu ihrem Ursprung.

Aus Liebe.
Für diese geliebte Person, die mich gelehrt hat, was Liebe wirklich bedeutet.

Project Conclusion – A Personal Farewell
--------------------------------------------------------------------
With this post, I would like to officially conclude my current project.

It has been a journey filled with passion,
doubt, creation, and letting go – a
chapter that has shaped me and shown me how much art comes from the heart when one has the courage to remain true to oneself.

But every ending carries within it the beginning of something new.

In recent months, my perspective on life has shifted – through someone closer to me than anything else: a beloved member of my family, whose strength, warmth, and love have inspired me in a way that no stage, no applause, and no audience could ever replace.

Therefore, together with the person who has always stood by me, I am now dedicating myself to a new project that goes deeper, yet is more authentic than anything I have created before.

It is an attempt to transform closeness, memories, and gratitude into art.

This new chapter arises not from ambition, but from love.

I thank everyone who has accompanied me on this journey so far – for your trust, your open ears, and your open hearts.

What comes next is not a farewell to art, but a return to its origins.

Out of love.

For this beloved person who taught me what love truly means.

Maintaining a deep ambient / dub & downtempo style with modern and individual accents in production.
