Majima and Inwave unveil Eccentric Shapes, three-track blend of minimal deep and Dutch house

Majima and Inwave turned Eccentric Shapes into a compact three-track release that sits between raw minimal deep pressure and the sleeker edge of Dutch house. Issued as INWD149 and priced at $7.47 on Beatport, the May 8, 2026 drop gave DJs just 19 minutes and 10 seconds of music, but enough range to move from warm-up stealth to later-room tension.

The track list, dub30, Ronde Kubus and Ambitions, lands squarely in the border zone that feeds minimal techno sets with material that is more groove-led than peak-time, yet still sharp enough to hold in a dark room. Beatport places the release in Deep Tech, while Bandcamp tags it across deep house, deep tech, dutch house, minimal, minimal house, tech house, rominimal and techno. That hybrid filing matches the sound design language attached to the record: shadowy underground spaces, warm pulsating vibrations, icy crystalline surfaces and vintage vocal whispers.

The three cuts also arrived early in a SoundCloud playlist on April 24, 2026, giving selectors a preview before the formal release date. That preview matters because the record’s small footprint puts real weight on each track. There is no filler here, only three distinct tools that can work in different slots of a set.

On paper, dub30 is the most functional cut. At 6:26 and 130 BPM in 6B, it is the fastest track and the likeliest to push a room forward without leaving the record’s restrained atmosphere behind. Ronde Kubus, at 6:09 and 126 BPM in 2B, reads as the most hypnotic piece, with its lower tempo and shorter runtime suggesting a clean lane for long blends and steady pressure. Ambitions, at 6:35 and 127 BPM in 5B, feels the most after-hours, the one most suited to late-room transitions where subtle bass movement and controlled percussion matter more than force.

Inwave’s wider catalog supports that read. The label has already built a lane through minimal house, microhouse, tech house, rominimal, deep tech and Romanian techno-adjacent releases and sample packs, so Eccentric Shapes looks less like a detour than a concise statement of identity. For crate-planners, the appeal is straightforward: one release, three tempos, and a narrow but useful spread that can slip from functional to hypnotic without breaking the spell.
