☉ Palpebræ Label Mix 03: Greyscale [mixed by grad_u]
Read the interview here: https://palpebrae.com/behind-the-label-greyscale
☉ About Greyscale:
Founded in Vilnius in the early 2010s, Greyscale has become one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary dub techno. Built on the dialogue between sound and image, the label treats music as a form of visual and emotional architecture — where atmosphere, patience, and depth replace immediacy.
Each release is conceived as a complete artwork: analog photography, tactile design, and meticulously curated sound come together to form a cohesive identity. Over time, Greyscale has evolved into a global platform representing more than 150 artists, united by a shared devotion to timeless and introspective electronic music.
☉ About grad_u:
grad_u (Aleksandr Martinkevič) is a Vilnius-based DJ, producer, and label owner, widely recognized as one of the key figures in the modern deep and dub techno scene. Active for over two decades, he has shaped a career that bridges multiple roles — from local DJ to international tastemaker — while maintaining a distinctive and coherent sonic identity.
Originally rooted in d’n’b, his artistic direction shifted after hearing Fluxion’s Prospect II, a transformative moment that steered him toward the immersive depths of dub techno. Since then, his sound — suspended between natural landscapes and urban geometries — has evolved through the use of analog textures, tape recording, and a painterly approach to production.
In 2012, he founded Redscale, his first vinyl-only label, created to host his own work and soon acclaimed worldwide. Yet it was with the launch of Greyscale that grad_u expanded his vision into a fully realized curatorial project. With more than 80 releases and contributions from artists across six continents, Greyscale’s Mood Series has become one of the genre’s most respected and enduring catalogues — a global meeting point for established and emerging producers alike.
Beyond his work as a producer and curator, grad_u continues to perform across Europe, bringing his immersive and meticulously crafted sound to clubs and festivals. His presence stands as a testament to a lifelong exploration of techno’s spatial and emotional dimensions.

☉ Palpebræ Mix 06: Pulso
Check out the full interview: https://palpebrae.com/in-conversation-with-pulso/
About Pulso:
Joel Pulso challenges the stablished structures in the musical framework since his style became more definitive, experimental, analogous and hypnotic, developing a unique imprint, based on minimalism and the collage method through home-made recordings. His project and musical focus exposes the objective of immersing the listener on his semantic field, going from psychical and cerebral music, to the most sci-fi & loopy danceable style through his productions and sessions.
Pulso is part of the great Argentine scene providing musical legacies in renowned labels such as Subsist, Semantica, Float, Mindtrip, just to name a few. Since 2023 his new label was born: Speculations LTD which is dedicated to deliver "complex music on simple format" in which Pulso performs the position of mastering engineer and label managing.
In parallel to his music and minimalist style of work, Joel Pulso develops cover arts under the name of Fractales DIY, formerly publisher of fanzines and handmade books, currently factory that spits out the crudest and surreal analog collages which are part of the catalog that defines his vision as an artist.
