about

Nicolas Barnes is back on the Mood Series! The Latvian producer has been very busy since we last seen him on Greyscale. With over a dozen releases just in the past year, his output has not dipped in quality one bit. His 3rd time on Greyscale in total, the latest is called 'Black Gem' which kicks the EP off in fine fashion. The balance of deep techno, dub techno and polished tech house makes this an overall ideal late night club track for anyone. Futuristic vibes at an up-tempo speed makes this a flighty tech winner. 'Melodic Memories' is a deeper groove adding a great balance already to the EP. This one has prime-time vibes of big sounding chord driven dub techno. The atmosphere and break are so understated and clean. No cheesy hands up moment here. This is techno! Wicked track. Things just continue from there as 'Hearts Afloat' is a slick track that creates a wonderful symmetry of a heavy groove and an addicting and heady airspace. Pure vibes here. Techy dreams that scream classic. 'Submerged Grooves' is not for the faint of heart. Cavernous pulsing soundwaves of pure techno goodness. This is nothing short of a monster. A perfect example of how to ramp up an EP to an amazing crescendo. Nicolas Barnes is on fire here. This is the kind of release you show to someone when they want to experience the power of techno. Black Gem is sure to be standout release in 2023.
