CRYME — Laser Beam Dancer

Cryme – Laser Beam Dancer arrives on SEVEN as catalogue SEVEN7013LTD, a 12-inch vinyl that continues the Berlin producer’s deep-house dialogue while venturing into subtler, more atmospheric terrain. Scheduled for 16 October 2026, the four-track EP balances the rhythmic drive familiar from Cryme’s output with an exploratory edge that suits the early-morning transition on the dancefloor. Within SEVEN’s 2026 output the record sits alongside Moody Mehran’s “Cruise Control” (SEVEN7012 / SEVEN7012LTD) and the label’s various-artist compilations (SEVENVA03 / SEVENVA03CAS). Those earlier releases cemented the imprint’s reputation for forward-thinking house, and Cryme’s new EP reinforces that direction while marking his third solo offering for the label. Side A opens with the title track “Laser Beam Dancer”. At just over six minutes the piece establishes a rhythmic language that is both complex and accessible, marrying a bubbly, tech-inflected minimalism with a clear club orientation. The groove propels forward without relying on a dramatic melodic climax, offering DJs a tool for sustained momentum. “Pinky Paradise”, the second cut, extends this minimal approach, emphasizing intricate rhythm and lightness. Together the two A-side cuts create a cohesive, movement-focused opening that feels playful yet grounded in the deep-house tradition. Side B shifts the focus toward space and depth. “Lovender” begins the transition, introducing a more dub-influenced ambience while retaining a solid rhythmic foundation. The track’s spacious character makes it ideal for longer, gradual transitions, allowing a DJ to guide the floor into a more immersive mood without losing danceability. The EP closes with “Saiph Altar”, which deepens the atmospheric palette introduced by “Lovender”. The final track sustains the drive but places greater weight on texture and the psychological effect of space, offering a fitting conclusion to the record’s progressive narrative. In Cryme’s recent discography, “Laser Beam Dancer” follows a series of Berlin-centric releases that include the “London Boy: The Remixes” (SEVEN7000LTD, 2025) and “Reality Rush” (SEVEN7003, 2025). Those earlier EPs highlighted vocal-heavy, club-ready productions; the new record refines that formula by pulling back on overt peaks and embracing a more nuanced, exploratory sound. Within SEVEN’s catalogue, the EP complements the label’s commitment to queer and FLINTA-leaning house, sitting between the earlier Moody Mehran outings and the label’s various-artist projects that showcase a breadth of Berlin’s underground scene. For DJs, the record offers distinct functional zones. The A-side works well in peak-time or early-set moments where rhythmic intricacy and a buoyant vibe keep the floor moving. The B-side, with its dub-laden ambience, is suited to late-night or sunrise slots, providing a bridge between high energy and a more meditative groove. Collectors will appreciate the dual-colour pressings that echo SEVEN’s aesthetic, while the vinyl format preserves the tactile progression from minimal to spacious that the EP is designed around. The release is a 12-inch vinyl, issued in both black and coloured versions, and carries the catalogue number SEVEN7013LTD. It presents four tracks that together map a subtle shift from techy minimalism to immersive dub, offering both DJs and vinyl enthusiasts a nuanced addition to any deep-house collection.
