greyscale s 25th full length album comes from one of our most favorite and longtime label guests. who else? but, gradient! all and all, this is his 4th album with us and each album seems to just get better and better. similar to previous albums, each track is named in numerical order after a word taken from the album s name. while this makes it a bit more difficult to remember which track is which it also leaves everything up to your own imagination. there is no visual to these heavy techno focused tracks.

greyscale s next full-length release come from german based artist audhentik. titled hypno , this album encompasses 14 pieces that dive deep into a heavily-based synthetic world of atmospheric ambient and dub. imagine if you took some amazing pictures of a desert island then put on a pair of ambient dub filtered glasses on. a picture-esque nature beach scene has been processed so heavily that they evoke memories of a place you have been before. this is a true artistry in ambience. perspectives combines a wonderful balance of field recordings with washed out chords of grandeur. breathtaking and majestic like looking down on to a city from an amazing view off a mountaintop. period explores an off-kilter dub rhythm while feeling stuck in a languid moment of disorientation as the track disperses the tension near the end. that astounding build leads perfectly in to the title piece. hypno is a 9+ minute journey deep into the abyss with a track of pure aural pleasure. epic is an understatement here. a standout among many other standout s here. infinite edit is one of the key interlude s that link the tracks together on the album. this one provides a thinner airier stratosphere then the previous ones giving you a chance to catch your breath as you prepare for another trek into the depths of static . this one has you feeling adrift in a nautical theme of optimism through the arduous recent events of a shaky future. a wonderful storytelling is evolving on hypno ...

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!

the well-respected hydergine run ranges label adds a talented phenom to its roster. san francisco dub techno artist federsen, has been making waves in the scene for over a decade now. with releases on greyscale, silent season, zeecc, and even back on thinner in 2009 among others, federsen continues to find himself on labels that can properly advocate his sound. highly influenced by the dub style recording craftsmanship and in an ultra-competitive genre, we at ranges feel that this is one to be heard that evolves the genre even further.>magnetosphere< focuses are wide-ranging on this release. from traditional inspired rhythms like in >relic< and the dub chord roots of >anyplace<, to the spatialness of >euradyce< & >vco<. the seriousness picks up a notch for the techier heads in the wicked sounds of >siricco<. we feel one of the key appeals to federsens sound on this full length is the ability for sounds to evolve organically while others dip, swell and flourish giving the tracks a great live allure. the combination of those strategies make the experience come alive for listeners. the deepness is on full display in epic tracks like the immersive >magnetic< & >l infinito<. there is certainly enough for the deep house fans in this output as well. >forms< & >cerulean< give off house elements while still firmly places itself in the dub techno sphere. we are sure you will love this release and we are very proud to bring it to you! federsen is in top form here on this long player. check it out! written and produced by chris kelly mastering: subosc studio writeup: tim humphrey

subset is the featured artist for the 17th greyscale full-length. named >this quiet earth<, this 9 track heavyweight of dubby goodness offers a consistent variety of spatialness while the atmosphere clearly surrounds you with its innate charm. heavy chords are consistent characteristic here while the beats are strong and favor more of a steady low tempo. tracks like >the rivers are dry< and >trippy specs< are soaked in reverb with an old skool dub sound while >the community of worlds< and >two halves< are another pair of deep-seated scenic heaters. the steady static over many tracks give off a language of communication to the listener that balances the organic elements extremely well. >lucys sky dreams< is not unlike a classic echospace track with tremendous depth that has you on the edge of your seat. a gentle album across the board that still has a reserved serious tone to it. another fine addition to the camp, subsets debut with us is a memorable one.
