om:nia is a record label for artists we believe in to release a wide variety of music, everything from Psychedelic Jazz to Drum & Bass, threading a flow and feeling which will connect all the sonics together.

Our first release is by one of our favourite artists and genius musician, STL. We spoke to Stephan in great length about our concept and idea for the label, after some time he sent us these specific tracks. Manoeuvring along dubby and dusty grooves, with dreamy melancholic ambient textures and the epic 17 minute “Untitled Dubscape”. This record is as much to dance too in a club as it is to listen too at home. 

Mystical, Ambient, Dub, House, Adventures..

For this DT podcast we turn to Londoner Bogdan Dražić, south river dweller and heartbreaking mischief maker with a drive to fuck up beats. With releases on Giallo Disco and a colourful EP on The Trilogy Tapes Dražić is a name to keep an ear on. Dražić took the time and energy to fashion some text based symbolism for us, ordering the glyphs in such a way information about what he does and why flows into that small, conscious part of your brain you believe to be your self, lighting little candles of awareness along the way.

Digital Tsunami 161 - Bogdan Dražić

As we approach the very last installment of the story, the greatest, final and cruelest battle between humankind and the clones is fought, just after the resistance is discovered hiding out in their underground lair. The humans were overwhelmed in numbers and outclassed in technology so the struggle was soon stifled and every rebel was brutally slaughtered until no one, but the captain, remained standing. Literally the last man on Earth burst into tears as he realized his species had been extinguished for good and he couldn't do anything to eschew it, while he was contemplating the obliterated battleground. That is even more painful than his own imminent death. He doubts for a split second, he pulls his gun from the belt and he says to himself while pushing the trigger.

- I ain't going to let those bastards finish me off...

The latest full length release from Greyscale features a fresh new artist to the lineup. This is also the debut full album from Ukraine artist Extractor. Named 'Echo Train', this 9 tracker is full of crafty chords and spirited jams of dub techno for any season or atmosphere. 'Aurora' & the title track 'Echo Train', are catchy early morning vibe enchancers while 'Rain Impulse' is the pinnacle to a profound dubby soundtrack on a gloomy day. Soaring thru the sky with 'Winter Clouds' will certainly be a favorite of listeners while it's revision gets a bit more granular with the rhythm. This album features some deeper cuts as well. An example like 'Cold Movements' is full of icy ripples of techy goodness. Then you certainly have the showstopping sounds of 'Storm' which brings some sick and edgy darkness to it. 'Catalyst' is not to be missed either for those that like the slow churning classic dub techno grooves. Quite a debut album here! The future looks bright for Extractor and we are thrilled to have him on Greyscale!

After a five year hiatus UNOIKI is back with a new release in 2020!
KJ is a compilation to commemorate KJ aka choenyi, member of the UNOIKI collective, who passed away on September 04 2013 in Asheville, North Carolina/USA.

Six UNOIKI members and two guest contributors, Revy and Kimathi Moore, pay tribute to the excellent, extraordinary and influential mind, that KJ was.
He will never be forgotten.
We miss him a lot.


About KJ:

KJ was a creative force of nature. 
He was unconventional by all means and constantly in search of new uncharted territories both in his life and in his music. He was a practicing Buddhist, an avid collector of gemstones, crystals and very hard to find old school Techno records. He was also a DJ and a composer who was known abroad, in Europe as Choenyi. He lived on the creative edge. 
Soon after his minimal Techno years he became more and more fascinated with exploring atonal guitar and bass playing and never looked back. 

He lived just a few blocks from me at this big house known affectionately as ‘the Mansion’, near downtown,  which was also the home for other well known experimental Noise, Drone / Ambient and Techno artists. With all of those artists living at that house, the creative environment was at an all time high,  underground performances were frequently held there and this was the perfect environment for KJ. 

KJ had such an impact on everyone that met him, from the personal to the musical. He played a fundamental role in Asheville’s 2nd wave explosion of experimental sound artists. He however never fell into any sub-genre for very long before he was off exploring something else. There was this sense of urgency and restlessness in his search, from his life to his music. He was at home anywhere. 
As a sound artist he frequently used computers, field recordings and found sounds and when he began exploring microtonal guitar and bass playing it’s like his creativity became unleashed to its full power. 

I once remembered him getting up in the middle of his Drone music performance and going to the restroom then going outside to smoke a cigarette and chat with someone outside on the sidewalk….while the music was still going on strong, and for him to then come back after 15 minutes later and pick up where he left off, that to me was a genius move. A performance that to this day has no equal in my psyche and helped solidify my idea of performance and freedom. 
KJ’s influence on Asheville’s cultural heritage can never be overstated. 
In my eyes he stands as a legendary figure in Asheville’s creative underground scene. 
He was and will always be my creative hero.
