techno watchlist 2025

Following the success of the duo’s ‘Forte’ album earlier this year, Pan-Pot’s highly esteemed Second State label is thrilled to announce the release of the 13th edition of the ‘Sum’ Various 
Artist Compilation. As a celebration of Techno music, this compilation showcases the genre’s  finest, promising to leave a lasting impression on enthusiasts worldwide. 

The tracklist, curated with precision, features a diverse range of artists, each contributing  unique sounds that encapsulate the soul of techno music. The compilation initiates with the  pulsating energy of “Warehouse Impulse” by Audio State, setting a high-octane tone from the  outset. Ben Champell’s “Give Me That” follows, with its raw and powerful sound captivating  listeners. The hypnotic journey continues with “Basic Instinct” by Bruce Zalcer, showcasing  intricate melodies and driving rhythm. Chris Hirose & RNDTXTR collaborate on “Sits,” a track  that fuses deep basslines with harsh percussion and pulsating synth stabs to create a 
mesmerising atmosphere. 

The middle of the compilation is marked by the spell-casting sounds of “Keep Dancing” by  Katnada, followed by “You Will Not Colonize” by Kmyle, which exemplifies the genre’s  rebellious spirit. Kristian Heikkila’s “Craft,” M.F.S: Observatory’s “Interstellar,” and Procombo’s  “Freaks” each add a unique flavour to the compilation, pushing the boundaries of Techno.  Ramon Tapia’s “DSP Engine” and Wigbert’s “Delayed” conclude the compilation emphatically  with a duo of tracks that champion the true versatility of Techno as one of the world’s most  celebrated musical concepts. 

Each track on ‘SUM’ Vol. 13 highlights the distinctiveness of the artist’s sound while  maintaining a cohesive flow. This release is a testament to the talent and creativity within the  Techno genre alongside Pan-Pot’s top-tier label curation via Second State, ensuring a unique  and immersive experience for all listeners.

‘SUM’ Vol. 13 is available from 15th December on Pan Pot’s Second State.

Luxembourg’s Ogazón (of Nathalie Ogazón Faber) followed her studies to the Netherlands and fell deep down the rabbit hole of Amsterdam nightlife, Trouw she recounts as transformative. Enough so that she followed that thread starting in the mid 2010s as neophyte DJ before upping sticks for Berlin a few years later. There, her passion for digging and upbeat outlook landed her in Ryan Elliot’s sights, a partnership that’s taken B2B form on more than a few occasions and led to further work with fellow blue chipper Marcel Dettmann (she signed to his agency in 2023). These days Ogazón’s sound is spreading to the pace of its rapid tempo, and her schedule’s all the more punishing for it. Dekmantel, Awakenings, DGTL, Berghain, Robert Johnson, the list gets longer. Refusing trivial categorisations, her work pivots between groovy house and austere techno, bringing together various influences (the ambient inclinations of Sofia Coppola she also cites) and keeping her vision broad. For Bassiani Podcast 241 she errs on the side of techno, delivering a profound two-hour mix that marches unrepentantly forward, zipping from ascetic track to track and building an atmosphere thick with subtle detail. This is deep, utilitarian techno for unsettled times and Ogazón leads the way.
