NIZRE — Inverted

Nizre – Inverted opens the Be as One BAO099 12-inch vinyl with a concise four-track statement that deepens the label’s techno imprint. Built on deep grooves, heavy percussion and hypnotic energy, the EP showcases the producer’s raw, stripped-back precision and reinforces his reputation for uncompromising underground techno. Within the Be as One catalogue, Inverted follows a series of releases that have cemented the label’s focus on forward-thinking techno. Earlier entries include Kashpitzky’s Elevate EP (BAO095, 2025) and the collaborative Our Future by Shlomi Aber & Kashpitzky (BAO093, 2024), as well as Xqte’s On The Scene (BAO096, 2025). Nizre himself returns after the earlier Detained (BAO098, 2026), linking the two releases through a shared emphasis on kinetic rhythm and austere production. Side A opens with “Inverted”, a track that immediately establishes the EP’s hypnotic thrust, setting a foundation for the subsequent “Reactionary”. The latter continues the momentum, reinforcing the deep-groove aesthetic while subtly shifting the tonal centre, creating a seamless transition that keeps the floor moving. Side B begins with “Escape”, a cut that contrasts the A-side’s intensity with a more spacious, yet still propulsive, feel, offering DJs a momentary release before the record closes with “Cold Wax”. The final track tightens the set again, delivering a precise, percussive finish that echoes the EP’s overall stripped-back ethos. For Nizre, Inverted marks a continuation of the sonic language introduced on Detained, where the same focus on minimalistic structure and relentless percussion was first articulated. The new release refines that approach, delivering a tighter, more focused palette that will sit comfortably alongside his earlier output on Be as One while also expanding his presence within the label’s evolving techno narrative. In the current underground scene, the record stands out for its dedication to pure, dancefloor-oriented techno without superfluous ornamentation. Its four tracks provide a coherent journey that can be programmed from early-night builds to peak-time intensity, making it a useful tool for DJs seeking both consistency and dynamic contrast. Collectors will appreciate the 12-inch format’s capacity to capture the EP’s low-frequency depth and the analog warmth that complements its precise production. The record’s unadorned presentation aligns with the label’s aesthetic of delivering music that speaks through its grooves rather than its packaging.
