The latest Mood Series is another first appearance by a new artist who is very passionate and in depth about how they approach their contribution to the genre. TryError was established in 2011 as a conceptual outlook in the context of graphic design for visual research and exploration. Their creative strategy when making music is to take the human element out of the equation so more anomalies can happen to create unexpected and a more experimental output. Originally from Berlin, TryError has been experimenting and honing their production skills for almost 20 years now. Being their harshest critic, it wasn't until recently did they start to feel their music was achieving their high standards and begun sharing their music around to labels. 'Gravity & Grace' is their first release and it constantly balances opposing sounds or forces throughout the EP. 'Gravity' is a track where the tension is being constantly combatting in this audio tug-a-war assault on the senses. Giving in to chance allows the uneasy to have less parameters and thus feel more organic. Again, trying their best to subtract the human decisions. While 'Grace' explores a gentler slant where the absence of sound is just as important as the ones that are present. A stark contrast not only within each production but from track to track is also very evident. 'Proximity Shift' seems to combine both production technics. Chance and time are the variables. Elements randomize, attract and unite to build pressure while other components release to disperse the energy. TryError explain this themselves as "...unifying and separation through subtle changes in rhythm and texture – driven by organic evolving structures and constantly changing dynamics, resulting from untamed/self-feeding delays." The album's exploration of "formal errors“ and unexpected results, creates a sense of organic fluidity and emotional resonance that is both cerebral and deeply moving. Dub techno fans and those who appreciate experimental sounds will surely be excited about this project's first release 'Gravity & Grace'.

Mood Series gets a visit from a familiar name with Zub. 'Come Adrift' is #101 for the Mood Series in totality. The title track plants itself firmly between house and techno while the underlying groove holding things in place is purely dub components. Naturally, with the title one will think of an aquatic atmosphere but it has much more than that. The percussion is where things get interesting. Always supporting the deepness, the intricate changes really add to the complexities of the rhythm. The wicked bassline holds everything in place. The kind of track you want to drift forever to. 'Deep Blue' is a great companion to the title track. It also is a nice breezy, melodic dub groover. Both of these gems have and fantastic charm to them for day and night DJ sessions. And both are sure to get approval from the average club goer to the most discerning dub fanatic. We are very pleased to see Zub back on the Mood Series.
