Samuel Wallner's second appearance on the Mood Series, titled Dust, takes listeners on a tranquil journey through the realms of dub techno and ambient music. The four-track EP offers a seamless blend of atmospheric textures and hypnotic rhythms, creating a serene sonic landscape perfect for introspective listening or setting the mood on the dancefloor.

The opening track, 'Dusty PC,' sets the tone with its mid-tempo groove and calming melody. Its understated yet building energy makes it an ideal introduction to the EP, gently drawing listeners into Wallner's sonic universe. 'Home' follows with its long-delayed chords and unique beat pattern, incorporating elements of breakbeat to add depth and complexity to the track. The deep bass notes towards the end provide a satisfying conclusion, perfect for transitioning between sets for DJs. 'Last But Not Least' delves into deeper, more ambient territory, evoking images of underwater realms with its languid chords and liquid reverberance. The techy percussion adds a subtle rhythmic pulse, while the soothing atmosphere envelops the listener in a state of tranquility. As the beat emerges towards the end, it serves as a gentle reminder of the EP's dub techno roots. Closing track 'With Me' maintains the EP's hazy atmosphere with its slower tempo and meandering dub beat. The track invites listeners to immerse themselves fully in its dreamlike ambiance, offering a moment of introspection and reflection.

Overall, Dust is a testament to the artist's skill in crafting immersive and evocative soundscapes. With its soothing blend of ambient textures and dub techno grooves, the EP invites listeners to embark on a meditative journey through sound. Whether enjoyed on the dancefloor or as a backdrop for relaxation, 'Dust' offers a welcome escape into the realm of electronic music.

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.

"Genesis"
Oh, I said, this is going to be.
And it was.
Oh, I said, this will never happen.
But it did.
And a purple fog descended upon the land.
The roots of trees curled up.
The world was divided into two countries.
Every photograph taken in the first was of people.
Every photograph taken in the second showed none.
All of the girl children were named And.
All of the boy children named Then.

Twisted tendrils, organic growth, and murky jungle scenes all spring to mind while listening to the forthcoming Hypersonic Macrobiomas EP by R-010 on Obtuse Swamp. The Madrid based producer stretches his auditory muscles to showcase a wide range of moods throughout the release that build upon dynamic sound design, half time tempos and deft uses of melody to propel listeners into a whirlwind of feelings.

One of two remixers on the release (the other being a fellow Spaniard, Absis) is Berlin native, Toxido Mask. Her take on R-010’s ‘Thermoplastic Skins’ dives deeper into the abyss, as bass lines swell and stuttery percussion lines pick away - both contributing to a frenetic tension that just needs to be released.

Hypersonic Macrobiomas will be out in its entirety on the 19th of December via the Barcelona based imprint, Obtuse Swamp.

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.
