Duncan Gray - 5 Hour Mix - January 2023

Calma Tensa is a project that was created among slow and dark rhythms that come from other times, with the illusion of learning to merge them with the electronic Underground of today.
It is not aimed at attracting large masses but at that small minority that connects in the same way with this kind of music.

Heart, dance, connection with other worlds ...

 ..you are what you listen to.

Rober Alonso.


Electónica Downtempo, Slow techno,  Dark Disco, Chug, EBM, Acid ...... and everything make me feel something..


Calma Tensa es un proyecto que nace entre ritmos lentos y oscuros que vienen de otros tiempos, con la ilusión de aprender a fusionarlos con el Underground electrónico de hoy.
No va dirigido a atraer a grandes masas sino a esa pequeña minoría que conecta de igual forma con este tipo de música.

Corazón, baile, conexión con otros mundos...

..Eres lo que escuchas.

tici taci - bringing you electric funk rekkids at tempos below 120 bpm. No pre-packed freeze dried loops here, all tracks have live instruments well to the fore, from funky wah-wah guitars and deep chunky bass to temperamental analogue synthesisers and live percussion.

Now 2 years later (July 2015) we're at 23 releases from a range of artists and remixers, with one release scheduled each month.


Duncan Gray (biog) : Perhaps best known as one half of the Sons of Slough along with Ian Weatherall - see discogs entry for details of releases. The Sons were a formidable Live act (see You tube) playing regularly across the UK. DG's own releases also gained some popularity, starting with cuts for Scatological (1996) Blue Black, Whole9Yards, SaltHill, through to Aquamelon (2009). Since returning to music production in 2013 he has released tracks on NEIN, Eskimo, Blindetonation, Play Pal, Rock to The Beat, plus Andrew Weatherall's vinyl only Birdscarer label. He has played guitar on half a dozen AW remixes.

Yes, I do want to hear new tracks. I am always interested in music which features REAL INSTRUMENTS - or electronic originality. I'm getting fussy these days...please email files to the email address above. (don't just send a soundcloud link please) If you don't know what the sound of this label is like, don't bother sending me stuff. I get quite a few demos with a note saying "I love the sound of your label" from producers who have clearly never listened to any of our releases.

PLEASE NOTE : 2020 release schedule now full, but I can always make room for something spectacular, or a really cool remix...
