Glasgow’s Harvey McKay adds Second State to his already brimming back catalog with ‘Midnight’ EP, featuring 3 driving and grooving cuts. A hard-hitter in Scotland’s techno scene, Harvey regularly appears at international hotspots including Space Ibiza, Awakenings and fabric, to name a few.

The opening track ‘Midnight’ is high-spirited yet dark and energetic, creating a more stripped back style of McKay production. A booming reverberating kick dances with scattered hi-hats and a low slung bouncing synth to create a deep & dusky atmosphere. Ascending keys keep the tension tight and high along with solitary stabs that whine and wring out over the main groove.

‘Oberon’ begins with a dappled kick and solitary hi-hat layered upon minimal pads which are soon buried by a hypnotic, marching churn and percussive wails. These elements are gradually bound together to create the base of the track, with intermittent breakdowns that allow the pads and wails to break through and add depth. As the track develops, the major notes intensify and are brought to the forefront with a cyclic sample that's teased out, but never allowed to fully burst through the chaos.

McKay rounds up with a relentless piece of techno in ‘Elves Playground’. A revolving metallic texture twirls over the booming kick to create a playful element in this cut before a deep and brooding drone takes control. As the devilish track progresses, the buzzing drone is toned down and injected back with ferocious vigor each time. A driving and textured production with clever minimal rave elements that are guaranteed to get you moving.

Alan Fitzpatrick’s record label Apex Faction drops a dystopian techno release from American artist Buridan.

Known for his techno releases on Christian Smith’s ‘Tronic’ and Fitzpatrick’s ‘We Are The Brave’ imprint, Buridan a.k.a Zach Fentress returns to Apex Faction following the success of his acclaimed 2022 single ‘It Happened Just Once’. Although hypnotic and peak-time techno is at the core of Zach’s style, his previous outing on Apex Faction welcomed remixes from rising talent Modeā and new-jungle pioneers Tim Reaper & Dwarde.

Buridan’s latest single “Hologram" opens with a pounding kick drum, clattering high-end percussion and slowly fading pads. The euphoria of the pads is offset by the industrial atmospherics and unrelenting energy.

Gannein - Time Will Tell [GNRL001]

This new EP represents a powerful, mature step in my work. It’s a project that showcases bold choices and a readiness to explore new sounds. The goal was to create music that is both immensely powerful and full of emotional depth—a sound designed to fill big rooms without losing its feeling.
The project unfolds as a sonic journey.

We start with the tribal groove of "Come Closer," move into the big-room techno of "Time Will Tell," and then take a surprising turn with the dubstep-techno fusion of "Reframe." The EP culminates with a dark, hypnotic remix by FVKS, making it a perfect tool for any DJ's late-night set.

Tracklist

Gannein - Come Closer: This track is built on a loopy, hypnotic techno beat. A subtle, whispered vocal adds a seductive, raw groove that gets under your skin.

Gannein - Time Will Tell: A pure, relentless techno track designed for the big room. Its patient, building loop and cinematic sound design create a cathartic energy for the dance floor.

Gannein - Reframe: This track is a purposeful departure, blending the deep, haunting bass of early dubstep with psychedelic techno layers. It's a hypnotic journey for adventurous DJs.

Gannein - Reframe (FVKS Remix): FVKS reworks the original into a powerful, hypnotic weapon for the main floor. Centered on a vicious kick and brutal low end, the hard-hitting percussion creates a relentless force.
