Bonjour, Hola, Zdravstvuyte. Nǐn hǎo, Salve, Guten Tag, Konnichiwa… Wherever you 'Hale' from, this outstanding slice of techno from Japanese kindred spirits Sudo and Hito is something you're going to want to say hello to.

Sudo's return to Nicole Moudaber's MOOD since last summer's thumping 'Abstract' EP, 'Hale' sees him rolling in esteemed company as good friend and Richie Hawtin's Enter resident and MoodRAW regular, Hito, joins the fray. And what a fray it is… Tailored for the silly season ahead, 'Hale' is a super-charged roller laced with a rainbow of salutations and powerful harmonics that loop and twist in a similar immersive and addictive fashion to Underworld's gamechanging anthem 'Rez'. The producer and DJ brought together both of their creative talents and 'Hale' features the voices of various friends from all over the world celebrating the Japanese spirit for global diversity.

Remix-wise we remain in the land of the rising sun as Japanese techno OG Ken Ishii lays down two superb versions; one that makes amazing creative use of the global 'hello' montage in a real fun and funky way, and one that strips things back to the bare rhythmic bone. Finally we head to Montreal as Johnny Trika follows up his recent appearance on Hito's 'Deeperfect' collection with a much darker, pranged out twist where the bassline spirals into the ground and the vocal textures aren't all that they seem.

One hypercharged original, three precision remixes; MOOD, Sudo and Hito are getting us in the right mindset for another insane summer right here. Say hello.

Etcetra is a Lebanese DJ and producer shaping the sound of the Middle East’s underground techno scene.
Based in Beirut, he has performed at some of the country’s most iconic venues, including B018, Recess, and Moon Republic. Known for his dark, hypnotic, and trippy sound, Etcetra has shared the stage with internationally acclaimed artists such as Sama’ Abdulhadi, and has opened for acts like Ege Saglam and Kim Sane.

As a producer, Etcetra’s work is equally compelling. His two releases on Dark Face Recordings received remixes by minimal techno heavyweights Gaga & Mateo, both earning spots on the Beatport Techno Top 100 chart.

Driven by a deep connection to sound and an uncompromising artistic vision, Etcetra continues to push boundaries, bringing a seductive, immersive energy to every set and release.

MOOD Records will provide an exploration in the sounds both produced and supported by the DJ/Producer. Taking in influences from house and techno, and the many amalgamations between the two ends of this wide spectrum, MOOD Records will befit a variety of atmospheres, not simply from genre to genre but from setting to setting.
