Gettec

It is with extraordinary honour that we are pleased to introduce today's guest. Chris Roman, aka 214, has a habit of getting lost in his studio, which happens to be tucked into the same mystical foothills as the David Lynch town of Twin Peaks, a location whose presence looms across much of Roman’s audio narrative, deftly playing foil to his creative heritage as a Miami native grounded in that area’s electro scene.
Since his production debut in 2002 Roman has cultivated a substantial discography of future dance floor thump and heady sci fi vapors with releases on notable labels such as Frustrated Funk, Klakson, Central Processing Unit (CPU), Shipwrec, 20:20 Vision, and Touchin Bass. He's also appeared on three Fabric compilations, including an exclusive track commissioned for Steffi’s highly lauded Fabric 94 mix.
Though clubs all over the world have hosted 214’s hardware-heavy live sets,including 3 performances at acclaimed Berghain, he’s also known for working dance floors with dexterous precision for anyone lucky enough to catch him behind the decks.
214’s upcoming projects include EPs for Frustrated Funk and a Science Cult V/A.

Which artists has influenced you the most? 
- This is a tough one to answer. I'm someone who loves consuming all styles of music in all genres. I think that is something that reflects in my music more than specific artists. I've been influenced by many over the years.

What new projects/releases with your participation are expected in the near future? 
- I just released an EP for Frustrated Funk about 2 months ago and have another on the way soon. Likely available at the end of summer/early fall. There's also a track I contributed to an upcoming Science Cult V/A that I'm excited about.

Which artists/labels is more relevant to you now? 
- Relevancy is not something I'm looking for. There's a number of quality artists and labels who haven't released in a while who I still pull to play, but there's also a large number of new labels and artists releasing interesting music. What I love about the current state of music is how many artists are creating sounds based on mixing multiple genres.

What inspires you now to create music? 
- My surroundings and music from all genres. Inspiration is all around us.

What set-up do you use when creating music? 
- A combination of hardware and software. I find the secret sauce to come from both worlds.

TL Premiere #1958 (2025.07.10) : Blackploid - Alien [Central Processing Unit]

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

For this 117th Premiere of 2025, we have a track by the veteran German Electro DJ, producer & composer Martin Matiske, aka "Blackploid" (@martin-matiske), titled ‘Alien’ from his forthcoming LP "Cosmic Drama" on the independent British record label, founded in Sheffield in 2012, specialising in electronic music : Central Processing Unit (@cpurecords).

The album will be available on August 1, 2025 in Limited edition 2x12" vinyl LP + Digital. 

▶︎ Pre-order : https://centralprocessingunit.bandcamp.com/album/cosmic-drama

Release Info :

Blackploid - Cosmic Drama

Preview here: soundcloud.com/cpurecords/blackploid-cosmic-drama

In recent years, Blackploid has come to be one of Central Processing Unit’s signature artists. The German producer has averaged more than a record a year for the Sheffield imprint since he first landed on CPU in 2021. This prolific run continues with Cosmic Drama, Blackploid’s second LP for the label. The album takes the baton from its predecessor Enter Universe in style, delivering twelve tracks of top-quality machine-funk that draw down from electro’s classic artists while also imbuing proceedings with a playfulness that very much gives things a signature Blackploid-ish flavour.

Cosmic Drama sets its stall out from the off. The opening run of ‘Alien’, ‘World Construction’ and ‘Virtual State’ all deliver piston-snapping beats which anchor pleasing melanges of B-movie synth lines. Alongside this, Blackploid adds little flourishes which add buoyancy to each joint - a syncopated bassline reminiscent of I-f’s late-90s classic ‘Space Invaders Are Smoking Grass’, crackling robo-voiced commands, skittering synth chords which wash across the mix and so on. It’s the work of someone completely at ease with their craft, comfortable enough to take risks without upsetting the apple cart of their sound’s core appeal.

Blackploid’s idiosyncratic approach to synth work is something which distinguishes Cosmic Drama from the pack. Electro has long been a genre which prides itself on innovation on the keys, but few producers are willing to push their sonics as far as Blackploid does - take the seasick churn of pads and processors on ‘Multiverse’, for instance, or the way John Carpenter-esque single-note lines dovetail with gurgling synthetic pulses and eerie, spacious chords on ‘The Lab’, a highlight of Cosmic Drama’s midsection.

Cosmic Drama skips along at club tempo throughout - every one of these joints will get bodies moving in dark rooms across the galaxy. However, even when tracks maintain their single-minded pursuit of machine-funk perfection, they never forget to deliver on the hooks. Blackploid has lead lines (and counter-melodies) to burn here, and each track knots them together in ever-more intriguing ways as they plough onwards. Drexciyan heads will be thrilled by the sci-fi delights of ‘Species’, for instance, while Blackploid brings melodies as cold as they are catchy on the aptly-named ‘Polar Dunes’. By the time Cosmic Drama hits upon the vroom-vrooming bassline line of closer ‘Contact’, you’re fully enthralled to the album’s combination of broken-beat heft and synthetic melodiousness.

01. Alien
02. World Construction
03. Virtual State
04. Universe Research
05. The Lab

American producer James Cook has quietly built a reputation for unhurried yet deeply considered electronic music. First appearing on Greta Cottage Workshop back in 2013 with his debut CD album 'Sleep Deep, Mountain King' and later stepping out under his Black Point alias for two vinyl releases on Cologne’s revered Out To Lunch, Cook’s productions have always carried a sense of clarity and patience.

Long-time readers may remember that in July 2020 we published IA MIX 336 Black Point, a revealing mix and interview that offered insight into both his background in music and production techniques. That mix hinted at the directions he would later explore, and 'EP 2' issued through Tokyo-based @format-records (pronounced "format"), extends that trajectory - gathering fragments of the past decade into a finely detailed four tracker.
