The 142nd entry in the Mood Series from Greyscale, Patterns In Randomness is a deep and intricate collaboration between Monopsia and Moodeep, featuring three original tracks and three exciting remixes that continue the label’s strong tradition of finely crafted dub techno. True to the series’ ethos, this release dives into spatial detail, atmospheric richness and rhythmic precision with a refreshing sense of balance.

'Patterns 01' opens the EP with a serene wash of heady textures. Light and airy, it creates a floating sensation, carried by delicate reverb trails and a tranquil mood that invites introspection. 'Patterns 02' is sharper, marked by swirling metallic chords and long delays that stretch across a tight rhythmic grid. It’s spacious yet assertive, with a crisp beat that punches through the haze. 'Patterns 03' is perhaps the most classic inspired with its layered chord work oscillates between aquatic and steady. Overall, a hypnotic and addictive dub techno experience. The remixers each leave their own signature on the originals. Alexander Bogdanov returns to the label with a beautifully restrained remix of 'Patterns 01', enhancing the serene ambiance with lush chords and a clean, entrancing mix. Schulz Audio’s take on 'Patterns 02' is the boldest of the set, delivering aggressive, attention-grabbing chord stabs and a hovering, ominous mood. George Kostopoulos’s remix of 'Patterns 03' is a deconstructed take that feels sparse but focused, using broken beats and a unique ambient melody to highlight elements buried in the original.

Patterns In Randomness is another gem in the Mood Series catalog that is both meditative and engaging. It delivers the kind of detailed sonic storytelling that dub techno fans will return to repeatedly, with both the originals and the remixes giving something uniquely rewarding.
