Techno DJ and producer Michael Klein has been consistently putting out solid work for years, a habit that has made other DJs – among them Richie Hawtin, Chris Liebing and Laurent Garnier – look to Klein’s releases as reliable fodder fit for a variety of moods at any given party. 

Born in Frankfurt and trained in classical piano as a child, Klein cut his clubbing teeth at the likes of Robert Johnson and Cocoon. He then moved to Berlin where he cultivated his dark and groovy sound, assisted by his studies in sound engineering, and earned a residency at the beloved, now-closed Stattbad. Klein is prolific but versatile, and these qualities come to the fore on his latest release, the Hoisin EP for Second State.

The title track, ‘Hoisin’, is a shapeshifter, switching gears from mesmeric, winding bass and rhythmic bleeps to minor, eerie builds, cheeky drum rolls, and more energizing chords. ‘Bite’ is more urgent, kicked along by impatient percussion and an acidic bass burble. ‘The Signal’ is the EP’s biggest moment, destined to be a highlight of not just Klein’s sets, but others’, too. It has the atmosphere of a ‘90s Bristolian rave, with a whomping stomp, beguiling bass and the odd vocal yelp adding era-specific authenticity. ‘Hollow Night’ demonstrates how deftly he can change moods. Here Klein retreats into something darker and more insular. A kick joined by circular chords creates a claustrophobic but compelling inner world. 

Klein is a highly valued member of the Second State family and recently contributed an excellent exclusive track for Amelie Lens’ fabric presents mix. He’s been something of a secret weapon in the techno community for years, but while his music prefers to live in the dark, Klein’s profile is, deservedly, coming into the light.

“Our new album, "Where We Start" was built around an idea and inspiration that came from our new stage in life, which was parenting.  Having a child, was something new to us and we wanted to create an album which directly reflected and captured various feelings and emotions we had at different moments”.

Chemical Play - Things I Should Have Said (Original Mix)

Markantonio is back on his label AnalyticTrail with a jaw dropping techno remix of talented French artist Angioma who provides the original tracks.

Although born in France, Angioma is currently living in Barcelona where he has become a regular DJ on line-ups in the citys vibrant club scene.

Angioma is still early in his career and he joins AnalyticTrail having previously featured on Christian Smiths Tronic and Anja Schneider's Sous Music.

AnalyticTrail label owner Markantonio helped pioneer techno in Italy, and has headlined clubs all over the world, along with featuring music on labels ranging from Drumcode to Second State and Intec.

The original mix of Reverberate opens the EP with stabbing chords and fast-flowing percussion rhythms soon joined by dramatic vocal textures. Adding to the intensity of the original mix is the remix from Markantonio, whose harder remix of Reverberate has a hammering kick, plus throbbing synths that ramp up the tension.

Closing the EP is the deep and jazzy Ostenious which has fluttering melodies layered amidst dark atmosphere and tough percussion. True to the classic techno sound of Detroit, this track fuses timeless elements with modern sound design.

Who is ready for some wicked tunes? For our next release, we have brought the sizzling hot Finnish artist NIQW on board. His track “Cat Massage” is nothing short of a dirty gem packed with crispy and weird sounds. The bouncy groove combines acidy elements with an insanely crunchy kick and on point Hi-hats underlined by the vocal cut and swirling synth. The tune erupts in fury, this is not for the faint of heart. 

We were very excited to get a remix from our buddy Alec Troniq for this one, and boy oh boy did he bring in the big guns. His remix draws lines towards industrial influences, it is gritty, it is tight, and most and foremost, in true Troniq style it is catchy as hell with the knock over groove and toppling synths.

Keeping up the hint of quirkiness throughout the two tracks, the red thread of the release is first and foremost darkness, indecency and wildness. Enjoy this ride!
