Chord-Visions Pt.II - Mixed By Szentendre

2025-01-31 Chord-Visions Pt.II - Mixed By Szentendre

☆★★ https://bit.ly/GREYSCALE12 ★★☆

A heavyweight lineup of dub techno talent comes together for a deep and textured journey. Krystian Shek's Promise features two original productions from himself alongside with reworks from Yagya and grad_u. As a bonus, this collection expands even further with digital-exclusive remixes from Raytek and Noosa Sound System that come with the original purchase. Milly James returns to the label, lending her amazing voice to a release that bridges atmospheric depth with driving rhythm.
'Glow & Shine' locks into a hypnotic groove from the outset, its analog warmth and weighty percussion forming a solid foundation. A crisp snare and hi-hat pattern provide an irresistible swing, while chords and vocals land together in perfect sync, draped in a rich layer of delay. Spacey breakdowns allow the ride cymbal to subtly emerge, giving the track an evolving energy. The closing moments strip things back, with the chords guiding everything to a natural finish. 'Better That Way' shifts into a more melodic space, balancing intricate drum programming with an emotive vocal delivery. The initial rhythmic stutter adds a unique touch before settling into a flowing beat. As layers build, the chords and voice intertwine seamlessly, evoking a deep, contemplative feel. The breakdown smooths everything out, allowing the track to breathe before a striking bassline shift in the final section brings fresh momentum. The last ambient passage is particularly stunning, offering a moment of reflection.
The legendary Icelandic producer Yagya creates his interpretation of 'Glow & Shine' sees it drifting into dreamlike territory, wrapping the original’s elements in a lush, aquatic atmosphere. More of a song than a club tool, it glides effortlessly, capturing a serene, almost weightless mood. On the flip side, grad_u reshapes 'Better That Way' into a crisp, rolling dub excursion. Airy chords swirl above a commanding groove, with well-placed melodic flourishes adding an elegant touch. The arrangement continuously morphs, deepening its hypnotic pull.
Raytek’s remix of 'Glow & Shine' injects a sharper rhythmic intensity, pushing the track into darker, more driving territory. The vocal treatment becomes a focal point, cleverly reshaped to make the singing the true hook. Meanwhile, Noosa Sound System takes 'Better That Way' into stripped-down, immersive terrain. The off-kilter drum work and layered percussion create a mesmerizing flow, while the winding structure makes it a DJ-friendly tool.
This well-rounded collection that explores multiple shades of dub techno, this release has both dancefloor energy and introspective depth. With a strong roster of contributors, it delivers a blend of classic textures and fresh perspectives.

Artisan Dub Soup I - Armin Bender

Pulsating Void — The One Who Dances with the Abyss
In a city trembling on the edge of the swamps and reality, where houses stand on rotting stilts and streets vanish into the mist, lives Pulsating Void—a shaman of rhythm, an explorer of shadows, a guide into the very heart of the Grey Zone.  
Here, where the borders of the world are blurred, he finds sounds no one should hear.  

The Voice of the Swamp
Since childhood, he felt the pulse of this land—slow, deep, endless. The swamp water carried the whispers of ancient spirits, and the abandoned stations vibrated with the echoes of lost signals.  
While others feared the darkness and the damp, he listened to it.  
He learned from the old shamans, those who still remembered how to speak with the local spirits through the rhythm of drums and the wail of pipes. But Pulsating Void went further—he fused shamanism with machines, replaced the bones of rituals with mechanisms, turned magic into frequency.  
His music is not just sound. It is a dialogue with the abyss.  

Explorer of the Grey Zone 
Beyond the city stretches the Grey Zone—a place where meaning dissolves, and space shifts. No one ventures there except the desperate and the cursed.  
But Pulsating Void goes there every night. 
He collects sounds that do not belong to this world—the electric moans of abandoned generators, the flickers of unheard frequencies, the echoes of voices trapped between realities. He returns with them, weaving them into his tracks, transforming them into rituals.  
Those who listen to his sets don’t just dance. They feel the tremor beneath their feet, the breath of unseen forces, the heartbeat of something vast and ancient beneath the water’s surface.

The One Who Leads Through Darkness
They say his tracks contain encoded pathways through the Twilight Swamps. 
They say he knows how to venture deep into the Grey Zone and return without losing his sanity.  
They say his sets can open the eyes of those ready to see the true face of this world. 

Some claim that Pulsating Void never fully returned from the Grey Zone—that a part of him remains there, within the rhythm, the hum, the eternal dance with the abyss.  
And when you hear his music, when the frequencies begin to vibrate inside you, you are not just listening—you are stepping closer to the threshold.  
And the only question is: do you dare to cross it?

April Dub Techno (Mix 2)

East Tennessee State University's jazz vocal ensemble Greyscale 12.0 (2024-2025) performed my arrangement of "This Is Me" (from "The Greatest Showman") live at Dobyns-Bennett High School for some of the music students as their final performance of the year. We didn't have our usual band with us, but I accompanied on the piano. It was one of the best performances of this song all year, in my opinion.

This Is Me, arr. Steve Sensenig (Greyscale 12.0 live)

GREYSCALE Special 052 - The Open Circle

Electronic composer using Arturia gear and Ableton to make a variety of sounds. Feedback always welcome:

Six70’s tracks are full of texture you can feel — dusty layers, deep reverb tails, submerged chords, warped delay lines. It feels like he’s painting with sound. Even minimal elements have depth. It’s not just sound design — it’s storytelling through space.

You can find tracks on bandcamp.

Greyscale was launched in 2012 by Lithuanian producer and DJ grad_u, and photographer Rima
Prusakova, set up as a platform for material from grad_u and close friends whilst Prusakova’s
b/w analogue photography provides the visual identity of the label.

Dark tales from abandoned factories and swamps in one cold, fairy-tale country.
