ISAIAH — Basement EP

Isaiah – Basement EP arrives on Planet Rhythm as catalogue PRRUKBLK161, a 12-inch vinyl that drops straight into the techno vein. Issued on 25 September 2026, the record gathers six cuts that navigate the darker corridors of club sound, offering a compact yet potent statement from a producer already active on a range of underground imprints. Within the Planet Rhythm roster, Basement EP precedes a string of forthcoming outings. Later in the year the label will issue Unknown’s House Nation EP (90GRVZ003), Klint’s Roses & Revolt EP (PRRUKBLK163), and Hioll’s Zero Gravity EP parts 1 and 2 (PRRUKBLK166P1/2). Positioned at the start of this wave, Isaiah’s record sets a tone of kinetic intensity that the subsequent releases will echo. Side A opens with “Kerkusta”, a track that leans into the EP’s overall techno aesthetic, delivering a steady pulse that invites seamless mixing into the next cut. “Nothingness” follows, maintaining the momentum while shifting the atmosphere toward a more introspective groove, creating a subtle contrast that keeps the set moving forward. The side closes with “Blindness”, a darker vignette that tightens the rhythm and prepares the listener for the shift to side B. Side B begins with the title track “Basement”, a centerpiece that deepens the record’s subterranean vibe, offering a driving rhythm suited for peak-time moments. “Overwhelmed” picks up the energy, its structure allowing DJs to layer it over more aggressive peaks or to use it as a bridge between peaks and breakdowns. The EP concludes with “Do You Want To Feel Something”, a closing statement that eases the tension while retaining enough drive to sustain momentum into the next record in a set. Isaiah’s recent output has been prolific across the vinyl market. Earlier releases include the Tool Box EP on Molekül (MLKL037), the PERIODICAL on BACKSPIN RECORDS (BSP008), and the 2025 Passive Aggression on Life In Patterns (LIP014). Earlier still, the Unleash EP (TRSN039) and Roll The Dice (TB003) demonstrated a consistent focus on kinetic techno, while the 2024 Workin’ EP (FRNZYREC006) and Concrescence EP (SP006) explored more experimental textures. Basement EP continues this trajectory, refining the producer’s knack for balancing relentless drive with nuanced mood shifts. In the current underground landscape, the record offers a concise toolkit for DJs seeking a blend of floor-filling momentum and darker tonalities. Its six tracks provide clear entry points for both early-set building and late-night peak moments, while the sequencing supports a natural flow from tight, hypnotic grooves to more expansive, tension-laden passages. The release is pressed as a 12-inch vinyl, matching the format of Isaiah’s recent output and catering to collectors who favor the tactile experience of analog playback.
