Marking the 150th edition of the Mood Series, Sonic Buckwit returns for his second appearance with Subcortical, a six-track expedition that blends cerebral rhythm with patient restraint. Each piece feels ideal for the head and the feet. It's an exploration of subtlety and sonic depth that reinforces why this long-running series continues to be a cornerstone of modern dub techno. Opening with 'Echoes of the Limbic', Buckwit works with a delicate percussion and soft, purposeful chords that glide like architecture in sound. They are breezy yet intentional, a gentle introduction and an ideal set opener for any mood-setting DJ. 'Void Groove' follows with a refined touch of house, featuring punchy bass notes and a clean, confident pace. It’s catchy but never forced and it's quirky in tone, classy in delivery. The EP grows darker with 'Synergy Error', where a deep, resonant bassline and eerie textures evoke the feeling of entering a sealed laboratory. The melody soon unfolds into something lush and cinematic, pulling the listener into an otherworldly atmosphere. Magnificent work here from Buckwit. 'Quantumorbis' then shifts the mood, channeling early 2000s Cologne minimalism with its stripped-back dub techno structure, making it great for bridging phases in a DJ set. 'Nervus Vetus' feels like a space voyage rendered in rhythm: echoing chords, percussive micro-details and a faint progressive pulse guiding the journey. Closing track 'Hypnagogic Hallucinations' is both immersive and disorienting, merging a techy groove with a sense of floating unease, as if waking from a lucid dream. With Subcortical, Sonic Buckwit refines atmosphere into narrative form. It’s precise yet exploratory, evoking a feeling that lies between deep space and deep thought. This is once again, proof that even 150 releases in, the Mood Series remains deeply connected to its name.
