We here at Second State are thrilled to bring you our new concept entitled HUB. While most labels these days are doing various artists releases to showcase the overall talent on their label, we thought it would be better suited for both our listeners and ourselves to break the mold and bring you a series of true collaborations. Each HUB release will feature a single artist teaming up with others from the Second State family to create an EP of authentic musical compromises. A place where multiple minds find a harmony somewhere outside their own identity and each collaboration conceives a genuinely unique artifact. With this, there is no one we would rather have kick off the series than the man behind the massive EPs; 'Throwl' and 'Doch', Stephan Hinz with HUB One!

Of course it would only be right to kick off the first track of the first HUB One way. An alliance with, Pan-Pot. "Tension' is a heavy number with just a few key elements, it's a slow lurking journey through a dark forest at night. As each bush and branch is pushed aside and every step inches closer to a destination unknown, the pressure builds. Soon, without knowing, you are in the depths of a jungle with no way back and only one decision. Keep going.

Every once in a while there is a track with the power to change a whole music scene, and on even rarer occasions, that track is already creating a movement even before people become aware of it. This is definitely one of those rare occasions. 

As the Lisbon electronic music scene is on every blog’s radar and a new generation of artists rises to the spotlight, there’s a whole lot more happening beneath the surface if you know where to look. What if we told you that there’s an afro-house track made by a 16-year-old that’s getting more plays on Soundcloud than most big-name pop hits (325k and counting), is regularly heard blasting from kids’ cellphones, and is making crowds demand the DJ to rewind it every time, yet nobody is talking about it. Impossible, you say? Ladies and gentlemen, this is African Scream: the underground hit the Lisbon scene was missing.

Hard-hitting disjointed beats provide the backbone of this exciting track, while emotionally-charged samples of the titular African scream loop back and forth to give it a depth that’s rarely seen on the dancefloor. Just as likely to make you immediately stand up and dance as it is to force you to hug your best friend in the club, African Scream is an undeniable track that will fuel many heated dance moves on the world’s most tropical dancefloors. And if a single genre-defining track is not enough from a still-underage producer, then Dotorado Pro complements the fast-paced original with a stunning kizomba version that channels all that intensity and turns it into a sensual and bittersweet anthem that’s sure to contribute to boost the country’s fertility rates. If you were still wondering why the whole world is focusing on Lisbon’s thriving afro-influenced electronic music scene, then play Dotorado Pro’s debut EP ‘African Scream’ and it will all be abundantly clear.

Dutch producer and DJ Reinier Zonneveld is racking up accolades about as fast as new fans are losing their shit to his far reaching beats. Having already released on Richie Hawtin’s Minus label and the ever-influential Traum Schalplatten, Zonneveld’s latest, an EP titled Rushchamber, is out on the increasingly important Stil Vor Talent, an imprint run by tastemaker Oliver Koletzki.

The 3-track EP captures the variation Zonneveld is known for and kicks off with “Sharp Bust,” a careening, pure techno number with detuned horns and whirring rushes. The titular track 2, “Rushchamber,” weaves in groovier house influences in the beat, and “Flatchat” levels off somewhere in the middle. The collection reflects the wide palate that Zonneveld, who was raised on classical music, brings to the studio.

We are happy to present the Terminal M debut of longtime friend Felix Kröcher, who's one of the leading techno djs from Germany, headlining festival after festival and convincing every week with his highly influential radio show on Sunshine Live.
Terminal M head honcha Monika Kruse is equally glad that shootingstar Victor Ruiz from Brasil found the time for an amazing remix which also Felix Kröcher played in his sets the whole summer.

Premiere: Pleasurekraft - Rigel (Original Mix)

Now in its second decade, with a steady stream of the most forward thinking and cutting edge techno productions, Drumcode has one of the biggest selections of releases from industry heavy hitters, whilst not forgetting its future by bringing the newest talented producers into the limelight, where Layton Giordani is now a name firmly within that line up.

The New York born, but now EU based producer first had recognition back in 2014, and his debut release came via Drumcode with his track “Rivington” on the A-Sides Vol5 compilation in 2016.

Full force into 2017, Drumcode has announced the release of Layton’s debut album with “Where It Begins” this February. Consisting of 12 original tracks, the album packs a punch when it comes to no-nonsense techno. Successfully weaving relentless drums and catchy vocal hooks into a selection of thick, brooding, atmospheric tracks.

Teasing us with a sample, Drumcode has released “Good Violence” – thumping from the get-go in true Drumcode fashion, this track is a pure dance floor destroyer. Laced in some heavy low end power, slapping percussion and a hypnotic synth pad to build up that late night tension just right.

Drumcode continues its commitment to releasing the scene’s most cutting-edge techno. With releases this year already from Adam Beyer, Pig&Dan, Alan Fitzpatrick, Dense & Pika and Julian Jeweil, this July see’s the return of Enrico Sangiuliano with ‘Astral Projection’.

After his remix of Moby’s of ‘Why Does My Heart Feel So Bad’ back in November last year, Enrico sought creative inspiration from his travels, transcending that into his productions and long studio sessions during the winter months. The result brings a mind and body melting release from the Italian producer.

The title track ‘Astral Projection’ is a captivating, big room techno masterpiece. Deep reverberations punch alongside a sinisterly crisp percussive drive. Launching into a groove laden synth modulation of low end textures, it breaks down into an ethereal amalgamation of pads and synths before the vocal launches, taking this track to another level.

‘Blooming Era’ has destructive dancefloor intent. There is no holding back with the low end synth modulation which Enrico has mastered to perfection. A tightly woven percussive flare moulds flawlessly with the rolling oscillations of the beast of this track.

If you have seen label head honcho Adam Beyer playing anywhere on the globe in the last 5 months, this has been a peak time favourite. Road-tested to the max, and with much success.
