003 | Sub Semantics

Something rumbles in the ground, a chilling breeze runs through, and thus, the holier than thou bass of “Keep the Faith” beckons, wielding mighty power.

By now Sungate regular Jozef K brings a familiar, yet unrepeated energy to his productions that leaves us permanently hooked. Whether through the acidised breakbeat euphoria of “Ascending Dragon”, pure cinematic bliss on “Penelope” and the mentastic, high-energy command of “Emotion Hotel”, so nice he made it twice, in both raw vocal and deeply dubbed formats.

 Watch out for crumbling dancefloors with this one, once you’re sucked in, it's hard to get out.

Jozef K - Emotion Hotel [SNG061D] (Snippets)

Recorded on a bright Saturday afternoon at Silence Please, the beautiful hi-fi speaker showroom and listening space in SoHo New York City. This set drifts through ambient dub techno and downtempo grooves. Icy textures, hazy tape hiss, and deep cuts from my own catalog blended with selections from labels MixCult and Spclnch (Space Lunch). As the room filled with people, foggy grooves and stillness in motion slowly gave way to more uptempo dub techno, carrying the energy of the afternoon forward.

The fifth installment of Greyscale’s Exposure series, Refractive Index, continues the label’s focus on vinyl DJ culture with these four gems pressed onto Crystal Clear 180-gram wax. Featuring artists from around the world, this compilation blends dub techno foundations with playful rhythmic variations. Massimo Music opens the record with 'Poly Crystals', a dense, atmospheric cut driven by cascading chords that arc and shimmer over a powerful groove. An amazing track that shows the tracks don't need to be long to be as epic. Also, on Side-A, German producer Armin Bender lightens the mood with 'The Other Side'. This track’s crisp percussion and stuttering beats give it a restless energy. Bright and melodic, it carries a breezy, almost carefree vibe while maintaining just enough rhythmic complexity to avoid predictability. DJs seeking something both brisk and accessible will find it here. Flipping over, Australia’s Noosa Sound System brings 'Dub Move', merging house’s dancefloor functionality with classic dub aesthetics. The slamming beat and sharp percussive snap offer high energy, but the track still feels relaxed making it the perfect balance of the other tracks. Rounding things off, Divide & Elias. close with 'East Side'. Driven by a shuffling breakbeat that leans towards jungle without fully embracing it, the track has raw, street-level appeal. Fast-moving and assertive, it’s a fresh contrast to the previous deeper tracks. Refractive Index is another perfect addition to the Exposure series, engineered and compiled with vinyl DJs squarely in mind.

DJ SIDEWAYS - MONDAY GUEST SESSION -  LIUOS

First single of the first Mass Memory EP - From Nowhere. 

This single reflects the polished, clean and peaceful aspects of the label.
Slow pads and reverberations build up over a soft rhythm section, featuring sharp hats and shakers, while FM basses revolve underneath, creating a much desired motion, where notes start to shatter and turn into noise. 
On top, lies a beautiful, dream evoking lead synth, moving between layers of atmospheric overdubs. 

Imagine yourself walking through a forest, with crushing autumn leaves under your feet, watching the late afternoon sun infiltrate through the high pine leaves, creating a golden atmosphere and bathing in light your surroundings.
