tenebraes >element ep< is the third release of grinch productions, a label specialising is deep and dark electronic music. the tracks >cold forged< and >element< incorporate found sounds and effects from industrial environments to give the music a sense of machine-like movement. the heavy pulse of the tracks attempts to capture a feeling of the technological driving force behind modern civilisation. also featured is a remix of >element< by the grinch himself. this track follows on from the theme of the release and adds a hypnotic broken rhythm to the formula.

grinch presents a collection of deep productions with dark, spaced-out tone, for his first solo ep. the title track sets the mood with a minimal, devilish bouncing shimmer, that grows into a subby monster in no time. the vibe changes with pulling teeth dropping us into a spacious ambience, with ghost tones of varying frequencies. on the flip, genjutsu, a heart pumping rhythm with knife edge minimal percussion. the final tune, 1:45am is reminiscent of a dark sci-fi nightmare scene and followed by waking up in a terrifying, cold sweat. together the tracks teeter along the lines of techno with dubstep influences.
