Gonzalo Villarreal is the newest name to land a ticket to the Mood Series. Number 80 with the title of 'Metanoia', features 4 tracks that are a minimal mix of catchy house grooves and slight dub techno sounds worked in. 'Part 1' is a strong minimal workhorse. It hones in on a few key sounds and evolves them to a level of addiction. 'Part 2' is a bit more spacey and chord focused but still rooted in some happier optomistic house moods. A very catchy track that is equally deep focused but still fun. 'Part 3' is another hooking masterclass of deepness. This one is more heady and profound then the last. 'Part 4' brings a little more techiness to the version while being a touch
more upbeat and focused on the dancefloor. The bassline is a great touch and reminds us of old Swayzak sounds circa 2000. All four versions have their place and all will succeed in any techno or house set. There is perfect balance between the two to our ears. We can't get enough of these hipnotic vibes!

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!

Greyscale is proud to introduce the latest artist to be featured on its' long running and highly respected Mood Series.
Hailing from Spain, Senoidal is here with a debut EP titled 'Migrations'. When asked about the concept behind the EP, he said 'The EP is the hypothetical migration of the human race to a habitable exoplanet. A long and monotonous journey through space in which the landscape won't change much...'. With that said, you immediately start bobbing your head to the beat when you hit play to 'Trappist-1d'. An extremely addictive tech groove that feels at home with the lower BPM like it is presented. Just a touch of house mood makes this blur the lines nicely between techno and house. The creative percussion sends this track over the top. Fantastic! 'Teegarden b' rides a deeper groove relishing a bit of an ominous travel. This song is nicely influenced by island dub sounds as it opens just passed mid-way. A perfect transition track from day to night. 'Kepler-442b' finishes things with a flighty and atmospheric trek into the unknown. Senoidal also added 'I am trying to reproduce that feeling of you are about to sleep in a very long journey, where the notion of time is lost.' And we definitely get that feeling throughout this EP. #82 in the Mood Series is another success! Senoidal takes us deep into outer space with these 'Migrations'.

Greyscale and the Mood Series has a special collaboration to present to the masses. Two highly skilled, talented and familiar names combine for one great EP. Detroit Side label owner, dj and fantastic producer, Giacomo Pellegrino joins forces with long time Greyscale friend and confidant, Francisco Aguado. Their goal is to take deep techno further into the space. Five extremely flighty and tech cruisers that soar above the dancefloor for the most optimal euphoric rides through the stratosphere. 'Skyline' runs fast with those descriptions. A confident and daring track, the anticipation that it sets edges on extreme. 'The Sky In The Room' is an early setter that builds a vast atmosphere outside the addictive groove. The title track 'The Sky' is sick. Adding a bit of electro and funk to the rhythm. That one will go over great on any dancefloor, day or night. The 'Dub Vision Mix' is a perfect complimentary version of the original depending on the type of set while the 'The Sky In The Room 001' is a more traditional dub techno exploration of the theme. Whichever version you land in chances are you will have this on repeat quite a bit. Mood Series hasn't had many collaborations in the past. This one really has us stroking our chin on the possibilities these two set the bar high for. Mood Series #83 is sure to set your ears on fire!
