Penumbra / Viridis

Viridis (grad_u Reconstruction)

The seventh release in the Secondary Series, Primary Colours
welcomes all around deep and dub master from Scotland Stillhead. We ﬁrst came to know of Alex in the early 2000’s and have followed his music under several monikers ever since.

Stillhead offers us three  orginal cuts for this six track EP with remix support from the one and only Mike Schommer and label heads Echo Inspectors plus a beatless rework of Recreation Beats.

This release seamlessly blurs genre lines, merging dub-techno with elements of bass, downtempo, deep-house, and ambient inﬂuences. The result is a release that feels familiar yet enigmatic, while simultaneously forging a unique and attractive fusion of styles. 

Stillhead is a master of his craft, and we are very pleased to bring this release to life with a heavy-weight 12” press and availability on digital outlets.

Planetary

B2 - Hibernate (Echo Inspectors' Monsoon Mix)

The symphony of nature is realized in the harmony of the soundscape, which envelops us with its magic. Again and again, the natural echo plunges into the world of the supernatural.

The gusts of the wind playing with the branches of the trees create a musical background, inseparable from the images of lush forests and mysterious glades. These sounds, like the songs of the earth, are formed into the history of centuries, conveying the wisdom of the ancients and the secrets of the world.

The soundscape is divided into musical phrases that decorate natural landscapes, like a painter's brush. The reflections of the sun on the water surface, the whisper of the breeze in the night, the enchanting chirping of birds - each sound textures a unique palette of our understanding of the greatness and power of nature.


Симфония природы воплощается в гармонии звукового ландшафта, который окутывает нас своей магией. Вновь и вновь, природное эхо погружает в мир сверхъестественного.

Порывы ветра, играющего с ветками деревьев, создают музыкальный фон, неразлучный с образами пышных лесов и таинственных полян. Эти звуки, словно песни земли, складываются в историю веков, передавая мудрость древних и тайны мира природы.

Звуковой ландшафт разбивается на нотные фразы, декорирующие природные пейзажи, словно кисть живописца. Отблески солнца на водной глади, шепот бриза в ночи, чарующее щебетание птиц – каждое звучание формирует уникальную палитру нашего понимания о величии и мощи природы.

20 years ago, i started my electronic music journey and about 8 of them, i produce my own waveforms. I’ve always tried to bring my own visions to life and do the things i love in the way that seems to be right for me. With Spectral Ranges my first album arrives and i‘m very exited to finally present it to you all.

A huge part of my art always has been the DIY concept. The projects goal was to do it 100% my self. Starting from writing and producing the music, up the to mastering and building 100 wooden cd cases including carbonated compact discs for the physical version of the album. I seriously underestimated how much work you can put into a project like this and realized, that especially the physical version isn’t buildable alone in terms of precision and an overall good quality, so the guys from CNC-Holzbude (www.cnc-holzbude.de - special thanks to Mr.Chips) helped me out in the development process and milled the raw cases with their CNC-Machine.

Just as the music is inspired by nature, so are the cd cases. They are handmade products, mostly out of natural materials. CNC-milled at CNC-Holzbude (www.cnc-holzbude.de - special thanks to Mr.Chips). Hand-sanded, glued, assembled, painted and hand-stamped by Schulz Audio. There are of course irregularities and flaws which give every single case its own uniqueness.

The overall project is a synthesis of art for me and i hope you find some peace and inspiration in it.

Before placing your order, please check the "Shipping and returns" policy on my Bandcamp page.

Greyscale's 114th edition of their Mood Series introduces a promising newcomer to the label, Psycho Panther, with his debut album titled Eclectic. The album presents a diverse collection of tracks that were not originally intended to coexist in the same project, yet they seamlessly blend together to form a cohesive listening experience.

The album opens with 'I Guess So,' a chord-driven, techy track that sets the tone with its ominous atmosphere. The distant jet rocket-like chords evoke a feeling of uncertainty and resignation, perfectly capturing the internal struggle of reluctantly fulfilling commitments. Next is 'Pseudo-live,' a hypnotic journey into the depths of dub-techno. The track plunges listeners into a deep watery abyss, with swirling textures and dynamic variations inspired by automated LFO mapped filters. It's a testament to Psycho Panther's ability to create immersive sonic landscapes. 'Obsidian' follows with its techy, electronically charged chords and heavy ride sounds driving the track forward with flair. The title, chosen before production began, reflects Psycho Panther's affinity for stones and textures, as he crafted the music to match the essence of the word Obsidian. 'Procedural Memory' explores a low-slung groove, with swirling chords that evoke the formation of clouds. Inspired by moments of daydreaming during production, the track delves into the concept of procedural memory and the subconscious influence on creative output. The album continues with 'Hupomeno,' a track that invites listeners to reflect and contemplate. Its atmospheric soundscape and introspective mood offer a moment of respite before transitioning into 'Then Fly' which delivers a spatially deep techno with melodic chords that inspire a sense of hope and freedom. The track's metaphorical message encourages listeners to trust in themselves and take a leap of faith, symbolized by the act of learning to fly.

From the ominous tones of 'I Guess So' to the uplifting melodies of 'Then Fly,' the album takes listeners on a captivating journey through diverse styles and attitudes. With its seamless blend of techno, dub, and atmospheric elements, Eclectic is a promising debut that leaves listeners eager to hear more from Psycho Panther in the future.

Eclectic

Then Fly

Get it here

The hypermarket exhibited bioengineering brilliance and cosmic craftsmanship housed under a huge crystal dome shimmering with reflections of nearby celestial bodies. This retail colossus was not just a place to shop, but a living and breathing ecosystem where even food and drink possessed intelligence and personality, turning the everyday grocery shopping trip into an adventure.

Having walked through the automated portals, visitors immediately entered a vibrant, bustling atmosphere filled with mixed aromas of diverse culinary produce, each hinting at exotic and extraordinary flavours. Pieces of cheese joked about fermentation processes and their origins. Soda cans sizzled playfully, discussing the intricacies of soft drinks and the secrets of mixology. Loaves of bread argued about baking temperatures and yeast culture. Juice packets from every fruit and vegetable imaginable told tales of distant gardens and farms, and wine bottles told stories of ancient vineyards and legendary harvests.

As Spacelunch reached for his favourite Cinerian mead, a familiar voice sounded behind him:
– Have I lived long enough to see the day when the curly-headed man who broke my nose showed up again?

The professor turned around and was surprised to see an old friend in front of him.

– Nomad? Is it really you?! What brings you here?
– As always a thirst for adventure and a desire to solve mysteries. I've heard a lot about this place and just couldn't miss the chance to see it with my own eyes. On top of that, I followed the rumours that say the key to absolute life force is hidden here.
– Absolute life force? – Spacelunch asked with obvious interest, raising an eyebrow. – Are you hunting for legendary artefacts again?
– It's an elixir created by ancient gastronomes. It provides unprecedented energy and longevity. It is said to be guarded by a powerful force. By the way, – Nomad squinted, – your bioengineering knowledge could speed up the search considerably. And remember, you owe me one.
– Not that I'm very eager, but Spacelunch always pays debts back!
– Now you’re talking! Follow me.
