Linear System makes his Blank Code debut with the five-track Eigenstates EP (BCRLTD012). This marks the 12th release in the Blank Code limited series which plays with deeper, yet still active, tracks with the freedom to explore the more speculative realms of techno. Fresh off recent releases this year on Illegal Alien Records from Mexico, Marco Bailey’s Belgian label Materia, and a continuation of his Space Explorations releases on Edit Select, Linear System continues his advance into the depths of modern techno.

The three original tracks on the Eigenstates EP mimic the excursion from Earth’s atmosphere through deep space–ages of travel compressed into just under nineteen minutes of navigation through the cosmos.

“Quarks” launches the journey with a slow-burning, haunting drone that creeps and sways in frequency, rippling the listener through the stratosphere as they brace for the route ahead. Textures are added through aquatic-sounding accents drifting through the ether which can only equate to elementary particles bouncing off one another as the immense friction is gathered during liftoff.

The release continues with “Beam Splitters.” The track is carried by a thumping low kick and resonates repeated, swelling beams of light split into a transmission calling out to space. This conveyance of sounds leads you to wonder if you’ve fallen off course and collapsed into a black hole. The low end is slowly filtered out and you feel completely lost until just as quickly the track returns in force and sets you on a clear path to your destination.

The third and title track “Eigenstates” confirms you have reached the interstellar dimensions of deep space. Your momentum is still quantified by the consistent deep rhythm, but the atmosphere has melted away in a scopious array of sounds circling your trajectory. 

The three original tracks are supported with two remixes, the first hailing from L.A.-based Modularz label boss Developer. His rendition of “Quarks” takes a much more immediate stance. He ticks up the bpm, adds repeating sample fragments into a rhythmic form, layers in a humanistic vocal snippet, and manipulates sonic elements into a strange organ sound that transmutes “Quarks” straight into a circus-themed warehouse rave.

Myyr rounds out the release with a more subterranean and melodic interpretation of “Beam Splitters.” This remix features a soundscape swirling around the listener's head similar to tones bouncing off metal pipes while traveling through an underground concrete tunnel. He introduces a beaming, yet melancholic resonating chord that culminates during the short breakdown–offering a glimmer of optimism amidst this brooding selection of sounds.

Jason Patrick’s lineage connects two of the most influential cities in electronic music: Chicago and Detroit. His unique sonic fingerprint combines influences from both cities, honing in on that unmistakable Detroit spirit, while harmoniously incorporating a subtle influence from the Windy City. As a highly-skilled, dynamic selector, he’s been a resident at Chicago’s infamous Spybar with travels across the USA, hitting cities like Los Angeles, New York, Miami and Detroit respectively. He’s also been booked to play in Europe, appearing at Tresor in Berlin and Plastic in Milan.

Equally adept in the studio, he channels years spent refining his technical skills into tracks that have landed on labels such as KMS, Peer, TMM, Future Arkive, and 4trk. His tracks have been played by artists such as Luke Slater, Tensal, Lewis Fautzi, and Philippa Pacho. Equipped with deep knowledge, superlative skills, and a progressive, driven attitude towards his work, Jason Patrick is one of the lynchpins of Chicago techno.

I have two SOUNDCLOUDs : @rohan1000 is the one i use the most now.

Rohan1000, also known as Juan El Romano, is a Parisian activist, DJ and producer with a passion for electronic music. He is best known for his exploration of several genres of electronic music and does not set limits.

In 2008, Rohan1000 created the association Panorama des Musiques Électroniques (PME), which allowed him to play psytrance, dubstep and drum and bass. As a network builder, Rohan1000 also founded Kick Snare, a DJ exchange network across Europe where artists can share their work and connect with other electronic music enthusiasts. Since then, he has toured Europe, performing alternately in raves and squats, as well as in renowned clubs such as Batofar, Glazart, Social Club, Rouge Pigalle, OPA in Paris, Tresor Globus and About Blank in Berlin, Moriskan in Malmö, Bagatelle in Zurich, Sala 2 de Apolo in Barcelona and Arce Bitte in Milan. He also went beyond European borders and performed in India (at the Ragastan Festival) and in Thailand (at Koh Pan Gnan).

In addition to his live performances, Rohan1000 initiated the Electronic Marathon in 2012, a festival he created with Benjamin Dierstein of La Mongouste and Tripalium Records, and Erwann PadaOne of Natural Spirit. The festival brings together the most talented DJ collectives of the Parisian electronic scene for a marathon weekend of non-stop music, running from Friday evening to Sunday evening, in different places in the city, such as bars, clubs, outdoor spaces and raves. The Electronic Marathon took place every year until 2018.

Rohan1000 has signed techno tracks on several labels, including Unstuck Musik and Musex Industries. More recently, he has been invited to produce podcasts for SeekSickSound, with a focus on halfstep, as well as for Illégal Alien, with a mental and deep techno orientation.

More recently, he chaired the Cours Circuit association, which offers music lessons to young children and people with disabilities. With this association, Rohan seeks to pass on his passion for electronic music to a new generation of artists and to provide an opportunity for those who may have difficulty accessing traditional music lessons.

In short, Rohan1000 is a passionate and innovative DJ, who has made a name for himself in the European electronic scene thanks to his talent, his creativity and his commitment to music and the community.

Lately he created a label under Much More name (the techno and house party he used to promote with @Jessenola)

Rohan also known as Juan El Romano is a chameleon DJ. Refusing to be categorized in any genre, his dj sets are free of creation, going from electro to psytrance, from dubstep to drum and bass… and so many other styles.
