Four tracks of pumping and grooving techno heaters are served up by Frankyeffe & Resonances (IT) on the ‘On Fire’ EP for Eats Everything & Andres Campo’s EI8HT imprint.

Getting the temperatures rising with this juicy collaboration, the two Italian producers get super ingenious on the first of two EPs to be released on the thriving EI8HT label.  Having released their respective solo work on labels like Riot Recordings, Suara, Yoshitoshi, RXC and Factory 93, the duo generate a bustling EP full of swinging bangers.

From the industrious techno chops of ‘What You’ to zip wire fast and funky ‘Maniacal’, the ‘On Fire’ EP is loaded with crowd pleasing and high-octane jack tracks!

Alan Fitzpatrick’s We Are The Brave imprint celebrate their 86th release in the form of this dystopian techno masterpiece from Dawn Razor.

The Russian producer makes his debut on the WATB following outings on underground imprints such as ARTS, FLASH, Planet Rhythm and R&S. Showcasing a style that’s a melting pot of electro, breaks and techno influences, Dawn Razor has cultivated an individual style that blends dark atmospherics with driving percussion and hypnotic synth lines.

This four track release features dance floor tracks with analogue sounds, intricate rhythms and a peak time energy perfect for nightclub sound systems.

“One Six” opens the release with its modulating lead synth and high velocity percussion before “One Seven” takes control with dubby stabs and raw aesthetic.“Jam Space 3” has a pulsating groove with trippy atmospherics, and the breakbeat groove of “Jam Space 2” closes out the EP.

A1: Solitude
A2: Process Don't Resist
B1: Coming
B2: Fear Parade

The Berlin by way of Brighton producer @listentobec has been a member of the Second State family since her first release with the label in 2016. Since then, BEC has dropped 4 EP’s with the Berlin imprint, and regularly appears at the likes of Awakenings, Amnesia, Warehouse Project, Fabrik, Watergate & Burning Man to name a few.

Title track ‘Solitude’ opens with a sharp, rounded kick and crafty drumwork. Metallic swipes and rave stabs are injected to build tension, along with a choppy vocal and bubbling element. Punchy arrangements and rave stabs bring this track to rave territory at moments, before hauling back into the deepness of the cut. Next up is ‘Process Don’t Resist’, easing us in with a crackling bass and a solitary hi-hat, soon joined by buoyant claps and a muffled kick that submerges listeners into a different dimension. Darker, swiping elements are introduced with metallic textures, with the claps becoming more erratic as the track unfolds. An indiscernible vocal gives way to a jarring breakdown halfway through, sending shockwaves through the listener before submerging back into the hysteria. 

‘Coming’ follows and initially appears as a break from the heaviness of the previous productions, before transforming into a high-octane stomper. A booming kick, bleeps and spiking vocal build the intensity as the track drives forward and hoover noise wavers menacingly. The vocal and kick bounce in unison towards the close, with a final cry towards the end. The finale is dark, mysterious and entrancing with ‘Fear Parade’. An authoritative female voice utters ‘not afraid’ under a myriad of shakers, howls and vicious synth swipes. The sample gradually takes over with the track building to crescendo, allowing shakers to come to the forefront along with eerie howls and a new, more robotic vocal.

Second State will drop its next various artists' compilation this summer featuring 12 artists from today’s techno scene, showcasing their individual sound and production skills. The 11 tracks each incorporate elements from techno sub-genres to create a varied and intoxicating release from the Berlin imprint, welcoming Second State regulars and new names alike to continue paving the way for the label’s sound. 

Returning to Second State is Yotam Avni, who opens the record with the dynamically layered ‘Panic’. The breakdowns of this track switch up during its flow, varying in intensity as it progresses. Valentinø and My Flower hasten the pace with ‘Lightfire’, packed with minimal drumwork, booming bass and phased bursts of ethereal keys. Up next is Simon Stiglmeier with a piece of kaleidoscopic techno in ‘Dancy’, complete with a grooving vocal synth. SOTO follows with enveloping bass and rippling synth waves in ‘Core’, whilst Techno live band Komfortrauschen power on with a warbling bassline and whirring atmospherics with ‘Each Second’. 

‘Subconscious Reset’ from Juliet Fox contributes a barrage of alarms and sharp, chilling synths that echo menacingly throughout, followed by Isabel Soto with pulsating cut ‘Momentum’ - a stripped back, down-tempo roller. Gutto Serta takes listeners down a rabbit hole with trippy cut ‘Maximize’, with airy pads whispering underneath bleeps and a sultry vocal sample. Building the record to crescendo is Dextro’s booming and raucous track ‘Omonoia’, with razor sharp hoover sounds and an earth-shattering kick & hi-hat combo. Maintaining the powerful energy is Daryl Stay with his propulsive weapon ‘Phalanx’, followed by the final track from Avision, ‘Tunnel’, featuring playful synth and acid lines that bounce over the phased percussion, and a shift in pitch to build the track’s intensity.
