A Great Deal Of Fear

READ > https://inverted-audio.com/premiere-black-point-recursive 

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.

France via Hong Kong artist Romain FX joins the Sound Of Vast roster this October with the ‘Musique De Maison’ EP, including a remix from Monkey Timers.

Romain has been a key innovator in the Hong Kong & Asian music scene for the past 18 years in various different facets, building bridges between cultures and erasing borders through music. He has since taken a step into the world of production and his music has been played by some of the biggest acts in the game such as DJ Harvey, The Black Madonna, Gerd Janson, Horse Meat Disco, Skatebärd, Lauer, Tornado Wallace, Lipelis, Orpheu The Wizard, Kamma & Masalo and many more. Here his musical production story continues with his latest collection of works coming via the esteemed Tokyo imprint, Sound Of Vast.

Leading the release is title-cut ‘Musique De Maison’, a five-minute excursion through organic percussion grooves, snaking elongated bass tones, intricately intertwined vintage-leaning synth melodies and an overall cosmic disco aesthetic that reflects Romain’s borderless, cross-cultural sound. ‘Tonal Spices’ follows and ups the energy levels with a sturdy rhythm section, squelchy acid licks, murky bass stabs, Indian vocals and cinematic strings ebbing and flowing throughout.

Monkey Timers take on ‘Musique De Maison’ next with their interpretation extracting the core essence of the original and reshaping it into a dynamically unfurling rework, fusing fragments of the original with expansive delays, heavy reverberations and modulating synth work. The ‘Psych-O-Delic (Live Mix)’ then concludes the release with off-kilter drums running in combination with, as the name would suggest, tripped-out melodies, processed spoken word and warbling synth licks — a nod to Romain’s playful, surrealist edge.

Pyatigorsk-born dynamo b0n dishing out some naughty breaks on X-Kalay sub-label, Another Place.

Four distinct traxxx going from full-blown seismic tremors to lithe, dreamier fare. A love letter to the halcyon days of ‘90s hardcore, perhaps?

Synths darting (just how we like ‘em), ragga vocal samples enhancing that UK kinda feel. First track sounds a bit like something you might have heard in some disused airplane hangar circa ’92.

Kicking off with a trio of straight-to-the-point accelerators and closing on some lush, levitational gear. Hi-octane rave utopia or blistering ride into oblivion? You decide.

He said not to mess with his breaks. Nuff said really.

PREMIERE: Das Komplex - Stridulate Me

Step through the threshold of liminality with Sid Praja genre-bending new project occupying the space where identities dissolve and new shapes emerge.

Inspired by the guiding radiance of a hidden protector, the EP weaves compassion and swiftness through shimmering melodies and potent low-end. Assembling basslines triggered on the edge of recognition, break-infused rhythms and psychedelic trance motifs, echoing the ambiguous state of being not-quite-here, not-quite-there.

Label: @39-records

Closing the release, Tsepo reimagines Come Here with a deep twist, rounding off the EP with a perfect after-hours touch.

Di After - Come Here (Tsepo Remix)

Breakfast with I. JORDAN & ELL MURPHY - 24 October 2025

@secretsundaze joins the Helsinki based Echocentric family for their 20th edition by way of the ‘Flashlight’ EP. A break-neck fusion of the eclectic influences, from UK breakbeat hardcore to Italian progressive house, amassed from the career of the storied London based DJ, producer and curator.

Early support from Ben UFO, Job Jobse and Avalon Emerson.

Limtied vinyl and digital

--

The A-side opens with ‘Flashlight’ (Stripped) with clear intent. The track stylistically distills the previously stated influences combining Blues Party toasting and ethereal female vocals, underpinned by an incessant bass and driving breakbeats. ‘Flashlight’ (OG) leans more into the dramatic, layering striking stabs atop the already peaktime ready (Stripped) incarnation. Hotly-tipped emerging producer ODF @o-d-f contributes a remix that reimagines ‘Flashlight’ for sweaty basements, fusing rugged bass with precision-engineered club dynamics in his trademark tech-garage style.

On the flip we have ‘Style’. Using some of the same raw materials as ‘Flashlight’, ‘Style’ takes those elements and recontextualises them with a more refrained approach. Breaks still drive the track, but added into the mix are a Roland JV1080 guitar, soaring keys, an organ groove, heavy bass and niggly acid line. The impressive EP is complete with ‘Style’ (VIP) which edges the balearic tip one notch up with an extended keys solo for those daring eyes-closed, end-of-night moments.

—-

The EP as a whole is an ode to the renowned Blues Dances of the 1980s, with the vocal samples coming from rare on-location party recordings from these illusive days. The influence of these Black British sound-system led parties on UK dance music culture is only starting to get fully recognised, playing an equal part in the development of dance music as the fabled trip to Ibiza in 1987. This is thoroughly argued and documented by Ed Gillet in his thrilling ‘Party Lines’ book, a must for anyone concerned with the roots of the music we love.
