cool breaks 6 tracker by those two guys serving three tracks each with a lot of influences as funk jazz latin music rock to name a few !!! tracks (sb)

break 3000 and adam kroll take quite some chances in naming their first collaboration 'get down' cause in the golden era of funk and disco every second track that was produced to 'just' get people on the went by this title ( a quick namecheck on allmusic.com confirms close to 300 entries ). well, our two protagonists surely had a few of those blueprints in mind as they clearly quote some of the main characterisitcs - handclaps, pulsating moroder style bassline, extra thick slap bass, robotic voice - mix them up with a few drops of acid, a rough guitar riff plus majestic paino chords and distill everything to a luiquid, sleek state-of-the-art house funker. the flip is more introspective and very atmospheric with darker, moody chords, yet the galloping square bassline and the omnipresent sharp highlight make sure that 'tonite' theres no parking on the dancefloor. when the players arrivea the club...beware

punky dark alien grooves with a touch of nina hagen incl shorter songs that got to the point and constantly keep the pace moving most of the music and vocals on this album are single takes most made within a few tries

especially in ibiza the track has actually been one of the most played traxx during this season. chab has hooked up with nobody else than jd david who is responsible for the vocals on david guettas the world is mineto create this progressive house mega monster.. here is a short list just to name a few supporters : pete tong, didier sinclair, kurd maverick, antoine clamaran, disco boys, david guetta, tocadisco, john digweed.

this time a mega-deep, vast kick-drum, crisp crackles and loads of weird samples are causing a 'sunstroke' on the a-side. a deep masculine hum floats over the tune and the skillfully arranged track plays around with reverb rooms so cleverly leading one into a world of acoustic hallucinations. the 'minimal fox' on the b-side carefully stalks from behind before it unfolds into an incredible drive. only a few producers manage to create such a tight buildup of suspense with such a sparse instrumentation like trentemøller and the new ep is definitely another proof of his outstanding production skills.

with the fourth installment we welcome sraunus aka paulius markutis to greyscale family. the time is ripe to announce his next opus Òatmospheric insomniaÓ. deep and multilayered, dense and atmospheric, warm and beautiful, at times groovy or chilled out. this album is constructed from eight sleepless dub techno cuts, recorded during the insomnia nights of the last few years. a masterpiece! surely, itÕs one not to miss for anyone who likes their music deep.

we are extremely excited to announce our second double disk compilation retrospect on mood series! in 2020 and 2021, greyscale was full steam ahead on bringing new music to the cherished discography. in fact, in 2020, greyscale released over 20 eps just on the mood series itself! something we are very proud of and we wish to thank all the artists who have been involved up to this point. a hearty thank you from all at greyscale! as 2021 came we wanted to balance that out with a few retrospectives of the journey. and also, to revisit the cd format which we really enjoy doing compilations on. this installment looks back at mood series 21 thru 40 with a track from each ep! we hope this encourages you to check back with each original ep if you may have missed it and also to revisit some of your favorites. we would like to thank our supporters for being there to share the enjoyment and the excitement in what we are doing. your feedback has been tremendous and we want you to know we have many exciting and new projects coming (including some different ideas we are trying for the first time!).

greyscale is set to release its 18th full length cd and this is by one of the busiest and most well respected newer stars in the scene, heavenchord. >o theos einai agapi< is 9 tracks deep of some of the most floaty and serene tracks in our discography. >cloud forest< opens up with a wonderful example of whats to lie ahead. its wide open layered chords arc and shimmer over a soothing spatial background. >deep dimensions< is prone to draw out emotions of long lost memories as you drift along to its echoed-out airy atmosphere. this album isnt fully beatless. there are a few remnants like on >summer grey session< which introduces a broken tech groove while >summer vibes< has you riding on warm waves of calming and peaceful dub goodness. >rare 3< strong chord work shows heavenchords adept craftmanship in this genre that is well beyond his years creating music. the depth created in this album might be its lasting impression. whats not there is as important as what is there. a true shining moment in production!

killer album

new album by douglas greed

few creative geniuses epitomize the tabansi labelÕs broad-stroke approach to music than the late nkono teles.

almost 2 years after the success of the album the tony allen experiments and a few months after the release of the 7inch amore, nu guinea return to the scene with a new lp published by their newborn label ng records. after touring the world looking for sounds suitable for their vibrations, nu guinea decided to go back to square one, napoli, where massimo di lena and lucio aquilina were born and raised. they watched their city from a distance reconstructing its energy from their studio in berlin, calibrating the synths on the meridian of vesuvius, the volcano that has always protected and threatened napoli. nuova napoli is the result of a long musical research that has become a historical investigation on the sound that shaped napoli during the 70s and 80s, starting from the contamination of genres (disco, jazz-funk, african rhythms) which ended up in nu guineas dna. in this album the synthesizers fill the spaces between the past and the future, tightening in a single body acoustic instruments, electronics and voices in neapolitan dialect

the dark lord himself has been creating a big stir in both the hardcore and drum & bass scene these last few years. his productions have completely destroyed dance floors all across the globe and to add to that this beast man has undisputedly won the loudness war.

special nice price - luke vibert has made many great records over the years, but few are quite as well crafted as his 2004 debut album under the now familiar kerrier district alias. inspired by a mixture of metro area, black devil disco club, cheap synthesizers, early new jersey garage, italian house and, of course, classic disco, it remains a touchstone in the development of nu-disco. this timely reissue features freshly re-mastered versions of all ten tracks from the original album, plus the six tracks which made up 2006 s kerrier district 2 12inch. these include the loved-up, late 80s loveliness of ce porte, the 808 cowbell and vocoder laden disco nasty, and a typically eccentric ceephax remix of sho u rite.

ideas call for realisation, realisations turn into habits, habits then quickly turn into traditions, and traditions become an intrinsic part of culture. born at the turn of the new millennium as a symbol of a new era for electronic music, kompakt s longstanding total series returns with its 18th iteration, spreading over two cds the essential of the label s last few months of intense activity and extended breadth of resources, blowing out its 25th birthday candle with the breath of a young, throbbing heart.

a true japanese jazz holy grail album, this 1975 album was made solely as a business card for an influential businessman and only a few hundred were known to be pressed. the quartet comprises a group of students who never shared a stage with each other and only formed for this one album yet the album sounds as if they ve been playing together for decades. deep modal jazz, frenetic, fizzy and energetic, these five tracks are some of the most coveted and sought after songs from the japanese jazz golden age

to commemorate our 10 year anniversary celebration, this new release comes in the form of our beloved deepchord presents echospace project. the set was recorded live at ghost in the sound on 05/26/2013 a few miles away from hart plaza. an official movement after party curated by the detroit paranormal society in association with echospace, and now re-mastered by rod modell. from the second the bass dropped, it stole the breath from the room! this duo started off as barely more than a rumor supported mostly by the continous scarcity of their records. the duo comprised of detroits rod modell and steven hitchell have spent nearly two decades producing low-key electronic music both bordering on the verge of myth. theyre considered by many the most noted producers operating in the dub-infused aftermath of the basic channel axis and all its myriad offshoots. once their critically-acclaimed the coldest season emerged on one the uk based modern love imprint, the curtain was unveiled and the sound of echospace was born. they ve often been coined the true heirs to the basic channel legacy but their work finds a home somewhere on the outskirts of the galaxy, where detroit soul ties to jamaican roots played through a tunnel in deep space. this evocative, immersive sound that is echospace was born out of a love and passion for analog circuitry, sound design, field recordings and non-conventional methods of recording. but its also work thats quintessentially building upon the detroit electronic scene where it was born, and that divine marriage of roots and vision make the work at once so highly considered, so pertinent and so timeless. this is the first new album from the echospace duo since the critically-acclaimed silent world (ost) 3lp/cd set dropped 5 years ago, it features live renditions of some of their classics as well as unreleased material. expect gorgeous plumes of sound deeper than the ocean floor, a rich analog tapestry made and performed in the heart of detroit, techno city!

>what was old is new again<. the old adage is so tired that nobody takes its proper measure: all people hear is the word old, when the important one is new. making new things out of old things is an act of alchemy. the proof is in this fifth album no rest for the wicked of perpignan which is blown right open here and there by a few very contemporary guests.

the night is what makes a big city come to life. right after sundown, the hectic buzzing of downtown makes way for adventure playgrounds, bathed in neon light, revealing their countless chances and opportunities. its when youll find the subway spitting out its purpose seeking passengers by the minute. a coming and going of restless people passing through. all it takes is a few hours, before the sunrise makes it all disappear. mental bend captures the magic of that very moment in their dreamy soundtracks. if you close your eyes, you can see blurry pictures passing in slow motion, accompanied by their atmospheric songs. grainy black and white snapshots, fragments of memories lighting up somewhere in the farthest corner of the cortex. one step is the berlin-based indietronica duos visually vivid debut album, released on enfant fenou. mental bend are all about letting go. sissip (voc/synth/bass) and hendrik havekost (beats/production) know how to trust their instincts, crafting their hypnotic signature sound, somewhere in between electronica, ambient and dream pop. before founding the band in 2013, the two were already shaping their skills in all kinds of different formations and styles of music. as soon as they got together, they had a viral mini hit with their song take my hand, praised on various tastemaker blogs and generating over 100.000 likes on soundcloud in no time. the bands first long play record one step is all about important experiences and decisions, small as well as big steps, all a part of making progress, which in the end can even be life changing. it was a step, that recently got mental bend their record deal on mos ferrys sub label enfant fenou

with many influences, the musicians of la mano create a peculiar sound, a rock-salsa-ra•-reggae-rap cocktail which they baptize patchanka. manu chao, who writes lyrics, gives to the patchanka a more personal definition: a popular dance with apache lyrics and chorizo spirit. the band starts touring across france in october 1987 and rapidly establishes a solid reputation. a few months later, when the second record putas fever is released, the success is obvious. tracks sung in french, spanish or arabic, pas assez de toi, king kong five or sidi hbibi are immediate hits. after a long live-cruise in 1992 along the south american coasts, la mano negra gets back to france and separates in 1994. its hard to tell the impact of la mano negra across french and spanish speaking countries, with as many particular experiences that people lived during their tours.

through the sparkle is a collaboration between french ensemble astr•d and american pianist and composer rachel grimes. rachel grimes is best known for her chamber music project rachelÕs, a hugely influential group formed in 1991 in louisville, kentucky, releasing six studio albums between 1995 and 2005. she has also released a string of contemporary classical works in recent years on labels such as temporary residence. astr•d is a collective of four musicians based in nantes, releasing records on rune grammofon and home normal. after years of mail and email back and forth over the ocean, from nantes to kentucky, astr•d invited rachel to come for a residency to make music together and play shows in france. they gathered for a few days, here and there, in 2012 and 2013 to write songs in cyril and vanina s home studio in the countryside.
