JMIC's WHAT WE'RE HERE FOR EP: four tracks of hard house and trance on OBSCUUR

JMIC’s WHAT WE’RE HERE FOR is a four-track EP and the Melbourne-based producer’s first release on OBSCUUR. It is out on 17 April 2026 and sits where hard house drive meets trance-leaning emotion. Four tracks, 21 minutes and change, and a running order built for the floor.

What is WHAT WE’RE HERE FOR by JMIC?

It is a four-track EP released through OBSCUUR, the Amsterdam and Berlin label for high energy dance music. JMIC is based in Melbourne, so this one travels a long way to land on the dancefloors it was built for.

The record is tagged Dance and Trance. It moves between punchy club cuts and more euphoric moments, held together by a clear sense of direction.

What tracks are on the EP?

The title track opens at 4:43. STAY follows at 4:27, then LIGHTS at 5:56. GET IT closes at 6:13, the longest cut on the record.

The pairing of STAY and the title track carries the melodic pull. GET IT is the peak-time pressure point and the track to place when the room needs to tighten up.

How does it fit into a DJ set?

Lengths between four and a half and just over six minutes keep the EP flexible. The shorter cuts suit quick blends and tight selections. LIGHTS and GET IT give you room to build, hold and release.

The mix of hard house energy and trance emotion makes it useful in a set that moves between registers rather than staying in one lane.

WHAT WE’RE HERE FOR is out 17 April, and you can find the full release on its release page.
