04: Katana
05: Cyber Slaves

DJ/Producer and Artcore Records boss @indirapaganotto makes her first EP debut on Berlin’s Second State with “Red Ninja” EP - a dark & hard-hitting techno voyage accompanied by a driving remix from Barcelona based, Tel Aviv born producer @shlomiaber. 

Title track “Red Ninja” opens the record and sets the tone with a rabid kick, brooding synths & scattered textures that build to samples of distorted Mongolian throat singing and ravey hooks. The track is a seamless blend of styles that both compliment and juxtapose each other to create an unorthodox high energy dance floor weapon. Following is “Magnetic Pulse”, which quite literally embodies its title with a reverberating bass, vocal chops and heaving kick drum. More subtle than its predecessor but with no shortage of impact, the track employs twinkling synth keys that create a hectic, skittish mood. Furiously paced snare drums and hi hats appear, adding texture and balance, after a breakdown provides a fleeting moment of tranquility. 

Stepping up for remix duties is Shlomi Aber with his take on “Red Ninja”. Intensifying the percussion and optimising a hypnotic synth line, his rendition is more of a techno roller than the original cut. Aber uses his skills to transform this mesmeric track into a no frills heavyweight banger, while still retaining some of the more curious elements. “Katana” is next and deepens the sonic trip with clips of Japanese conversation. Not hidden away behind distortion or effects, the samples dance in tandem with the booming kick drum while an intoxicating combination of bells sing out the melody. Closing out is “Cyber Slaves”, a driving yet simplistic composition. Paganotto employs a revolving melodic loop and percussive elements that shine through with a galactic energy to concoct this mesmerizing finisher.

Pablo Say - Old Child

„Techno Poem“ opens up the ep. It comes with a bubbling driving baseline and circulated hi hat elements which are creating a full body shake within the track. The beat structure starting with hypnotic pads which leads you into the crispy arpeggio sawtooth lead theme. Deep Male Vocals in a poetic art moves the track not even physically but also into mental experience.

„Dance With Demons“ starts with stomping heavy drums and a rolling low end. The whole is supported by distorted percussion and ruthless mini-breaks. Dark self recorded female low pitch vocals with different style of programming giving the listener the clear order to obey the dance floor. In contrast to the rough environment the epic pads and a beautiful sensitive melodie give the track an ambivalent feeling.

„Pushing On“ combines classic house with new school techno while adding also an extra portion sexiness. The catchy vocal deeply reflects its housy origin. The dna of the track is besides the vocal its groove programmed claps and the dark house chords. Within the track the listener will be surprised by breaks with guitar distortion pitch effects which will be followed by an explosive energy. (Patrik Berg)

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.

01: Intergalactic
02: Deep Sensation
03: Highway 99
04: Mulholland Drive
05: Monolith

Raised in Istanbul, co-resident in Vancouver, Kuvoka has been making serious and bold waves in the techno scene globally over the last few years. With releases across many major techno imprints and contributions to Second State’s compilation series, he steps up for his solo debut with a contemporary EP ‘Intergalactic’. Kuvoka crafted each and every one of the tracks to create a disruptive series of signature music, perfected to synchronize the crowd. 

Title track ‘Intergalactic’ is a true testament to its name, packed full of drones, cosmic hoover synths and sinister rattling synths. Scattered instrumentals and percussive swipes are matched with a jackin’ vocal sample, a contrast to the space elements that blend seamlessly throughout. A highly varied track with unexpected twists and turns that balance perfectly. ‘Deep Sensation’ presents us with a powerful techno roller, complete with bouncing bass and a deep, smooth voice that resounds throughout. The track creates the effect of bouncing between walls, with resounding echoes and stretch out reverbs to again elicit that feeling of outer space. ‘Highway 99’ continues the driving atmosphere of the EP with a steady kick and bass combo, creating a feeling of transcending through the cosmos. Kuvoka injects jagged and electrifying synths, with a vocal sample of someone communicating through a radio frequency over scattered bangs and crashes. 

‘Mulholland Drive’ has a playful kick and ticking element, but lures us into a deeper and darker space within the EP. Slow waves of eerie synths wash over a metallic clicking as the track progresses, engulfing the kick and bass combo before tying all elements together to result in a close-eyed dancefloor experience. ‘Monolith’ spurs up the atmosphere once again with a subdued but strident kick and metallic sonics throughout. Airy pads float in with trembling percussion and cosmic synths, adding a cinematic suspense to the EP’s crescendo. The minimal opening is reflected towards the final leg of this cut, where the percussion takes full attention and rattles vigorously ‘til close with the sound of a dwindling alarm.

PREMIERE: Audio State, Filtrack - Trip In Barcelona (Original Mix) [Unrilis]

Audio State 'Collaborating together was really fun and inspiring because we are best friends and we had tons of ideas for the tracks, but everytime each one of us knew when to let go and when to say something, so i would say that the process of working together was really smooth. It's fantastic to see how 2 different points of view merge together into becoming a final product. We can't wait for our next EP together.'

Audio State (RO) & Filtrack - Overthinker (Original Mix) [Unrilis]

Unrilis is very excited to welcome for the first time Audio State and Filtrack as they make their debut EP 'Duality'.

Straight Outta Romania, we have Audio State a DJ/Producer with the aim of pushing the boundries of Techno with his unique and versatile style which combines both melodic and hypnotic. He has a rich catalog since his start on 2019 as he has released on the likes of Legend, Unity Records, Infekted and Zafer Atabey's EXTIMA.

On the other hand we have Filtrack who's just kicking off his career this year with a much darker and groovier techno, His first track release was on Tronic and then he joined AnalyticTrail for his first solo EP.

Audio State: 'Overthinker came out from our idea to make a banging tool track, hence the really big low end and nasty percussions, but as the word suggests, we overthought the track a lot and transformed it into a more of a peak time track. The vocal that we've added, only adds up to the general idea and name of the track. Trip in Barcelona, as the name suggests, was made after Filtrack's vacation in Barcelona. He fell in love with that city, as it was his first time there. When he came back to Bucharest, he wanted to make something that would remind him of that sweaty weather and the beautiful trippy architecture. So he did a hypnotic & trippy polyrhythmic synth with a huge & sweaty low-end. That's how this track was made'.

Audio State 'Collaborating together was really fun and inspiring because we are best friends and we had tons of ideas for the tracks, but everytime each one of us knew when to let go and when to say something, so i would say that the process of working together was really smooth. It's fantastic to see how 2 different points of view merge together into becoming a final product. We can't wait for our next EP together.'
