Nigerian-born electronic music producer, DJ, and record label owner Jerome Sydenham shares his latest collaborative work, “Deeplight / Black Dog,” with Berlin-based producer Fatima Njai under her Cosmic Soldier alias. The double single, released on Carl Craig’s imprint Planet E Communications, marks their seventh collaborative release.
Sydenham has been in the music industry for over 40 years. He started as an A&R at Atlantic Records in 1989 and later crossed paths with American house music pioneer Kerri Chandler, which eventually led him to release collaborative projects alongside Kerri Chandler and Joe Claussell.
“Deeplight” delivers a dark, trippy vibe with a bouncy groove, crisp drums, and a haunting atmosphere. On the other hand, “Black Dog” is a lighter tune, featuring uplifting Detroit-style keys, punchy drums, and even some barking dog elements.
The collaboration between Sydenham and Cosmic Soldier on this release promises to deliver a unique and powerful listening experience, bringing together two distinct voices in the world of electronic music for a release that will resonate deeply with fans of both house and techno.
The release is available on all major streaming platforms, with the vinyl set to drop on Friday, March 14.
