With their early productions rooted in the harder styles of dance music, duo Mac & Ward have been turning their hands to a slightly gentler pace of sound over the last few years, carving out infectious house music bombs after being picked up by Shadow Child, and his Food Music label. On the ‘I Go Up’ EP, the guys serve up a trio of tracks for the Street Tracks label.

Lead track ‘I Go Up’ bangs like the best of them, as techno-centric stabs punch incessantly over an industrious rhythm, a female vocal cutting through the slammin’ production that’s the perfect house/techno hybrid. ‘Particles’ straddles the fence of progressive house and trance with aplomb, as subtle synth melodies glide over a pacey groove, whilst ‘Resist It’ comes good with a chugging and robotic tone that's injected with vocal hits and snappy FX.

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.
