Blackploid is the alias of German producer/DJ @martin-matiske - In 1997, at the age of 10, Martin began mixing records and recording daily new mix tapes. Soon after, he met DJ Hell, who was astonished from the beginning with Martin's interest in electronic music, records and mix tapes and invited him to interviews as well as DJ gigs, allowed Martin to secure his first DJ set in 1999. Shortly thereafter, at the turn of the millennium, Martin began producing music. Since then he has released music on Deejay Gigolo Records, Frustrated Funk, Stilleben, Vivod, Moustache Records, CPU, and more. His exclusive vinyl mix for Dark Science Electro balances a love of the old and an appreciation of the new.

Blackploid

Dark Science Electro - Episode 788 - 10/18/2024 - Blackploid guest mix

Steve Rachmad - Moog On Acid [Music Man Records]

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.

Here is my recording of my second Fusion Festival gig! Thanks for all the cute people joining the set, love you all xoxo

The set went a bit more emotional than my usual ones, but I felt that was just our vibe at the Sonnendeck stage. 💘🙇🏻‍♀️🙇🏻‍♀️ And yeah, I ended up processing some emotions from the past months of my life in there, too. Music is therapy you know 😂😂❤️❤️
