𝑷𝒓𝒆𝒎𝒊𝒆𝒓𝒆: I7HVN - Fluid Mosaic Model  (Innerworld Remix)

‘Primal Inflection’ by I7HVN – A Complex Tale on Safar Collective

After a  seven month hiatus, I7HVN makes a return with Primal Inflection, his first release of 2025. Featuring four originals and four remixes by Innerworld, PYNX & ezkape, Turqua & Vedik the EP finds its home on Safar Collective, blending intricate rhythms and deep atmospheres with his signature broken beat, IDM-influenced sound.

Inspired by a bio-punk aesthetic, the release unfolds with Kekule, a meditative and textured ambient electronica piece that sets the tone with its atmospheric depth. The EP continues with Fluid Mosaic Model, where broken beats flow seamlessly through liquid textures, enriched by rhythmic patterns drawn from Indian religious gatherings. The title track, Primal Inflection, rises with slow-building intensity, locking into a fierce 160 BPM pulse, broken drum patterns, and haunting vocal hooks sampled from Japanese horror. Closing the originals, Chalcanthite glows with a sharp yet delicate energy, racing through fluid IDM sequences while maintaining a warm, melodic core.

Primal Inflection: The Remixes

The remixes on Primal Inflection push the originals into bold new directions, with Fluid Mosaic Model receiving two contrasting reworks. Innerworld takes it into a high-energy psycore-influenced broken beat space, where bleeps guide a chaotic yet controlled soundscape, crushed vocals, and feedback-drenched synths. Vedik, in contrast, strips it down to an old-school garage-inspired groove, blending swinging beats, glitchy textures, and a Burial-esque drum line, with a soft, looping pad adding hypnotic depth.

Pynx & ezkape rework Primal Inflection into a shape-shifting journey, opening with chopped vocals and cinematic build-ups before diving into a hypnotic downtempo phase of dubbed-down kicks and reese-infused basslines. The remix fluidly moves across three genres, keeping listeners locked into its evolving energy.

Closing the series, Turqua transforms Chalcanthite into a formless, guitar-driven reimagination. The track drifts unpredictably, at times veering out of key before resolving into a rich diatonic mode. In live performance, its ethereal interplay of textures and melodies becomes even more immersive, making for a truly boundary-pushing reinterpretation.

Pre-order the EP : https://uselessseconds.bandcamp.com/album/the-other-side

Mysterious French producer Souzo takes over useless seconds’ second release with ‘The Other Side’, 5 beautiful originals full of attractive deepness, comforting analogue warmth, and seductive tones for the explorers of the mind.

The drexciyan grooves of ‘A175-4 Levit8’ and the pressure-inducing ‘Don’s Eternal Drift’ set the release’s mood and show Souzo’s delicate taste for sharp, icy transients and round, mellow subs. We just stepped through the gate. Following up is ‘Haze Modulator’, one of those tools you feel like never fading out with a perfect balance between cycles of coercive dancefloor energy and drop-out momentum.

‘Octotiger’ and ‘Overloaded Bucket’ open new corridors and make up the last chapter of the EP where Souzo showcases its interpretation of the drum & bass plus techno cross-bred genre, where rolling hi-hat loops and stomping syncopated kicks provide an anchor to his signature, ethereals and sustained textures.

Peregrination est une incantation rituelle, une quête mystique orchestrée par Drawbridge. À la croisée des chemins entre transe tribale et techno incantatoire, cet EP invoque l’énergie des forêts anciennes et des créatures oubliées. Tambours battants, textures enchantées et pulsations gobelines façonnent un monde où la danse devient rite. Cette traversée musicale est le résultat d’une intention claire, façonnée avec une exigence quasi alchimique. Deux remixes prolongent l’exploration avec Blume qui propose une version hypnotique et vaporeuse, tandis que Forest révèle une face plus incandescente et tellurique. Un périple initiatique pour celles et ceux prêt.es à franchir le seuil.

Evolve was conceptualised out of a love for psychedelic electronic music. Genre-fluid and ever-shifting, EVVA002 presents a deeper, slower sonic palette that defines the label’s evolving identity. From goa-laced club tracks to warped breaks, leftfield IDM and dubbed-out prog and techno, each track adds its own twist to the psychedelic thread that runs through the heart of the label.
