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.

Roberto Capuano has delivered Drumcode an immense 4 track EP that will blow out the cobwebs and see Roberto step back onto Drumcode with a bang. Lacing each track with pads and tantalising hook lines, Capuano’s tracks fire on all cylinders with good use of vocals and drum rhythms. His tracks have a certain swagger that only Roberto can conjure.

Infekted Records is really proud to give a welcome back to a great talented artist from it’s roster: Cesare Minacapilli.
 After his successful Remix for “Cristian Collodoro - Acid Enigma” it is now his turn to be the stellar artist with his “Be With Me” EP. 
Two perfectly crafted tracks by Cesare and a powerful Remix by Portax locks this awesome EP.
 Main track “Be With Me” builds up with progression above stomping drums and futuristic sounds leaded by the most charming voice from this planet into a beautiful breakdown full of emotions that will be teared up by a destructive saw synth until the very end.
 “To The Future” is the second original track from Cesare that goes straight into a mystical journey embraced by a relentless cosmic ambience as disruptive synths leads the way for a massive spacial explosion, making this piece a majestic portal to a new era.
 Finally, talented French producer “Portax” reworked “Be With Me” respecting the essence of the Original with his own approach and signature on an unstoppable mix of strength and sweetness with delightful harmony into a mind blowing trance. 
“Be With Me” another gem for Infekted Records history by the hands of Cesare Minacapilli and Portax.
