Amid a crossfire of colorless carbon copies of a long-forgotten idea, Jason Patrick’s latest effort makes a luminary statement. The Images of Light EP arrives by way of Bay Area electronic music label Peer. Each of its five tracks casts a purposeful shadow across the boundless void that is modern techno.

“Xpx997” ushers in the effort with uncanny brightness for a cut otherwise defined by dissonance and atonal foley effects. Radiant bursts rip through a layer of exospheric noise, halted by an organic drum groove at the hearth of the soundscape.

Next on the EP’s tracklist is the psychedelic yet functional “Code Cracking.” A metallic orator laments over its digital shackles on the high end while borderline Gregorian atmospheres seem to taunt it from below. Only in the final few bars do the two reconcile.

“Foreshadow” portrays the precise sonic imagery suggested by its title. Subtle and slow burning, a coarse veil of tension wafts its way down from overhead, flickering madly like negative film reel footage of a wind-hewn flame.

Eliciting an immediate visceral reaction is the exceptionally produced “Off World.” It leads with dissociative oscillations, ratcheting up the intensity with each new layer added to the arrangement. By the time a unique double breakdown cuts through the cacophony, haunting mechanical whispers fill the track’s negative space.

“Interpretation” closes out the Images of Light EP on a sullen note. Cold ambiance lays an unshakeable foundation for this contemplative palette cleanser. As the occasional stereo artifact rattles its way up and down the dynamic range, the listener is left to reflect on all that they’ve taken in.

Only Peer could provide a home for an artistic statement like the Images of Light EP. Well into its third year, the imprint has eked out a niche in the refined yet experimental range of the electronic music spectrum. Contributions such as that of Jason Patrick project a bright future out ahead for Peer and its tight-knit community of supporters.

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.
