Contributing WriterSardinia-based producer ProOne79 joins forces with Milan-based artist MAGNVM! on the ‘Black Jack’ EP, landing on REK’D on 20th March 2026. Rooted in acid lines and old-school house and techno traditions, the pair draw on a shared reverence for the foundations of Chicago and Detroit while pushing their sound into darker, contemporary territory. ProOne79 has released music on labels including Nervous, Trax Records, Circus Recordings, and Laurent Garnier’s Cod3 QR, earning support from selectors such as Carl Cox, Laurent Garnier, and Joseph Capriati, while MAGNVM! operates within the deeper, stranger edges of House and Minimal, with releases on Dirtybird, Farris Wheel, This Ain’t Bristol, and Box Of Cats.
ProOne79 and MAGNVM!’s ‘Black Jack’ EP opens with ‘Nobody Else’, a dubby, chugging cut built around pinging analogue kicks and a throbbing bassline that sways with intent. Old-school spoken-word snippets nod to Windy City heritage, while haunting synth lines drift in the background, adding a darker edge. ‘Feel Free’ follows, leaning into classic jacking territory with distorted bass, cowbells, and razor-sharp hi-hats, as menacing vocal fragments lurk beneath squealing alarm stabs designed for dark rooms and flashing strobes. Closing track ‘Back’ keeps the pressure high with chunky, heavyweight drums, rubbery kicks, and a sparse, raw arrangement of glitchy percussion and fragmented vocals, delivering a no-frills underground finish that reflects the duo’s shared vision.
