Continuing their long-standing gathering of techno’s most talented producers, Second State will introduce the next installment of their revered ‘SUM’ series, featuring artists from Germany, the UK and US, the Netherlands and Italy.

Minimal techno maven @camea welcomes us with “Higher Power”, a wistful opener that manages to retain delicateness despite it’s booming kick drum. Shakers and soft keys are pebbled throughout, scrambling over rippled claps and a gritty synth that wades in and out of the ethereal elements. Berlin based @charlyschaller is next with punchy cut “Sama Sama”. Metallic textures and a robust kick are gradually joined by a gurgling vocal sample reverberating in the distance, while the dwindling melody surrounds. Dutch producer @discoveregbert presents “Mnmlstc”, complete with an earth shattering kick and wompy, wonky bass. A repetitive robotic vocal is peppered in, along with white noise that punches throughout. Techno powerhouse @harvey-mckay drives on with “Dragon’s Dynamite”, an impactful dancefloor weapon armed with a growling hoover synth, marching hi hats and babbling vocal sample combined with hard-stepping beats.

Berlin Techno band @komfortrauschen are featured with “Jamal”, designed with a warped kick and choppy elements that swipe consistently to create a raucous atmosphere. Frantic, spacey keys circle around with the odd interjection, before the kick is reintroduced as a heavier, authoritative component. Turkey born, Canada based producer @kuvoka pivots the mood of the record with the groovy, analogue driven “Randomize”. A pulsating beat is accompanied by furious hi hats and shakers, creating a feeling of urgency. Londoner @larrycadge follows with “Lost The Way” and gets straight down to business with a monstrous kick that’s occasionally reigned in to allow twinkling keys to direct and give structure. A curious bloop sounds amidst the heaviness, giving personality and lightness to the track, along with chords that pur underneath the weight. “Escape” is the closer, produced by familiar Second State face @leriocorrado. Hurried hi hats and a bubbling vocal characterise this cut, the kick thunders towards the finale, driving this compilation to a powerful close.

PREMIERE: SZG - Something Holding On To Nothing (MÄRKED)

New York City–based producer Ford Scott makes his label debut with four club-ready weapons that fuse deep minimal grooves with high-energy drive. Drawing inspiration from 90s house while adding his own modern edge, Ford has caught the attention of some of the scene’s biggest names with his innovative basslines, meticulous sound design, and relentless dancefloor focus.

The A-side opens with Watch Out, a crafty, rolling bassline paired with sleek, layered synth work and captivating sound design. Next up, Work That Body delivers suspense-filled builds and explosive drops, pairing hypnotic vocal chops with a punchy bassline for a full-throttle dancefloor weapon.

On the B-side, The Message channels 90s hip-hop swagger into a groovy, bass-driven cut with intricate melodic textures and fluid, evolving atmospheres. Closing out the EP, Can’t Sit Down turns up the heat with futuristic synth stabs, a driving low end, and a tightly-wound arrangement that refuses to let the energy drop.

Watch Out

Two decades of music, 20 years of Iberican Sound. The pioneering Spanish label founded in Madrid by Chus & Ceballos in late 1999 has established itself as one of the most successful and stable platforms in the electronic music industry. Its success and permanence in the international market confirm that. Among its great achievements are having exported a 100% own and recognizable sound, having achieved an enviable level of implantation in the American market, having discovered and promoted dozens of talented artists and having held events of its own across the world. It's time to celebrate this vast musical legacy in the form of remixes with the STEREO2020 REMIXED series.

Chus & Ceballos - All I Want (Oscar L Remix)

Renaissance warmly welcome a true master, François Kevorkian aka François K, to ‘The Masters Series’. Regarded as one of the forefathers of house music, his career started in seminal clubs such as the Paradise Garage and Studio 54 before developing into a remixer (Prelude Records), producer and record label owner (Wave Music). However, DJing is François K’s first love and this ‘Masters Series’ brings together the many styles and genres of club music he represents over two perfectly mixed discs.

“Over the years, my approach in putting together a DJ-mixed compilation has been to use it as a way to share and express where my head lies musically. Instinctively feeling that this would be giving the listener an intimate look at what has me truly excited at that particular moment, but also with a view to create something that can be appreciated for a long time. As I often do, and rather than trying to remain monochromatically fixed on one specific genre, the aim here has been to take the listener through a condensed version of the same kind of musical journey that I naturally go on when playing an extended all-night set at a club. Most of the songs I have selected here are ones that I have been steadily playing and getting good reaction on, which gives me confidence that they will stand up to repeated listening. As well, a select few of them have not been heard anywhere else yet and are exclusive to this package. I came to fall in love with a number of these when first hearing them played by some of my uniquely talented fellow DJs; others came as recommendations from friends who work at record stores, all of whom I have to thank for the inspiration and kindness. Such is the power of today's electronic music: constantly evolving, recombining into new forms, then being shared and celebrated on dance floors across the entire planet. I hope that you enjoy this musical trip as much as I did while creating it.” - François K. New York City, March 2013

The first mix moves effortlessly from soulful Berlin production/DJ outfit Jazzanova to deeper dub-inflected sounds by Anton Kubikov via no-nonsense house and into dubstep escapism by A Made Up Sound, Objekt, Blawan and (an as yet unreleased track by) Scuba. The second mix dives deeper into classic house vibes before exploding with percussive techno and deep, punishing 4/4 featuring tracks from Luca Bacchetti, Delano Smith, Adam Beyer & Alan Fitzpatrick. It closes in blissful Balearic style with Chronophone’s ‘Eiffel Love’. The mix also includes two new, exclusive tracks by Mr Kevorkian himself: ‘Mystic Lady’ and ‘Dark Magic’.

François K’s career has spanned NYC clubbing history: from the seminal days of disco, playing with Larry Levan, house institution Body&SOUL and - having just celebrated its 10th anniversary in March - his weekly Monday night Deep Space NYC. It’s extremely eclectic format ranges from spaced-out techno to the deepest reggae, dubstep, hip-hop as well as drum & bass, house music and disco. In 2005, he was inducted into the Dance Music Hall of Fame as both a remixer and DJ. Kevorkian now tours the world, taking part in many music gatherings, such as the Sónar, Global Gathering, Exit Festival, Bestival and Electric Picnic. With over 35 years experience of creating magic on the dancefloor to draw on, François captures his most recent flavours of inspirational club music in Renaissance’s latest edition in ‘The Master’s Series’.

From the north of spain, Dok & Martin join OFF Recordings.

‚Adrenalin‘ lives up to its name; with an intense acid-lead on top of a rolling groove we can’t wait to hear this played out in clubs in the hopefully not too distant future.

‚Minster‘ replaces the acid lead through energetic synth stabs all leading up to an epic break and vocal shout.
