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.

Since 2017, the queer artist OCD has carved a unique space in the techno world, blending the genre's driving force with a deep sensitivity to mood and emotion. Her sound, characterized by its powerful rhythms and evocative melodies, resonates with dancers on a visceral level.

As a resident DJ at the renowned queer parties Gegen in Berlin and No Gender in Lyon, she champions inclusive and expressive spaces.

Her discography, which spans labels such as Noise Manifesto, Gegen, Voxnox, Boudica, Instruments of Discipline, and No Gender, showcases her evolving artistry. OCD's commitment to connection extends beyond the dancefloor; in 2024, she bravely shared her experience with cancer treatment, becoming an advocate for others. This personal journey has further enriched her music, adding depth and vulnerability. A highlight of her career includes her latest release on Paula Temple's Noise Manifesto, a landmark moment that coincided with the label's closure, adding a poignant layer to her artistic narrative. With performances at legendary clubs like Tresor, RSO, Khidi, and Kitkat and tours across Europe, induding Italy, France, Spain, Portugal, Poland, the Netherlands, Greece, and Georgia, OCD is a rising star in the global techno community.
