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.

Psychedelic yet functional “Code Cracking” is the second track on the release. 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.

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

PREMIERE: soundswhile - Warm Heart and Clear Mind

Secus, a mainstay of Bay Area record label Peer, has returned with his sophomore release on the specialist imprint. The Los Angeles artist showcases his creative range in the Negative Form EP, a cross-section of underground techno through five original singles.

First among them is “Ascent,” whose hallmark feature is its polyrhythmic chime loops. Hair-raising atmospheres spill in slowly enough for a symphonic crescendo to sneak up on the listener before each instrument retreats to the shadows.

“Drift Signal” takes a different approach, beckoning primal movement by way of an extraterrestrial groove. Every few bars, a distorted air raid siren rings out, leaving a gentle echo to trail off over the savage syncopations below. Cycles of shrill intensity add a layer of intrigue to this peak-time cut.

A dissonant arpeggio instills an air of urgency at the outset of “Negative Form.” Looped to oblivion, this motif transforms over the course of the single’s runtime. It hypnotizes the listener so deeply that they scarcely notice any of the changes throughout the arrangement.

Of all the EP’s conjurings, “Obsidian Lens” is perhaps the most haunting. Bass stabs hit like hand drums in this psychedelic cut, whose expert use of Foley effects seems to reflect one’s shadow self through a mirror of sorts. It’s up to them whether they see it for what it is, though.

The EP closes out with “Falling Through Static,” the most melodic entry of its tracklist. A cinematic chord progression paints with a more accessible emotional palette than all that came before, not to be outshone by the cerebral sound design that has proven to be Secus’ calling card.

As such, it only makes sense that Peer would tap him for a sophomore release. The label stands out as a rare constant in a rapidly shifting arts ecosystem, following the unspoken rules necessary to cut through the noise and reach revered tastemakers. Secus evidently speaks this language as well.
