Markantonio drops a new EP on his label AnalyticTrail, which features two peak time techno tracks from the iconic Italian artist.

With a career that spans over two decades, Markantonio is well-known for his many releases on labels including Pan-Pots Second State, Spartaques Codex and Carl Coxs Intec.

Along with releasing on many of technos most prestigious record labels, he has also inspired a next generation of artists who look to him music for inspiration. Markantonios home region of Naples is a breeding ground for fresh talent, and AnalyticTrail gave early releases to the likes of Joseph Capriati and Luigi Madonna.

Both of the tracks on this EP blend compelling synth lines with explosive percussion and fast-flowing rhythms.

The Moon Again opens the release with a pulsating bassline and metallic hi-hats, while the euphoric melody adds enthralling contrast to the dark atmosphere. Seven is the more aggressive of the two tracks, and takes no prisoners with its thrashing percussion layered over a pounding kick drum fused with dramatic bursts of melody.

Markantonio - Seven

Four tracks under pressure. The reverb snaps with accuracy. Without permission. A reward through a concrete hall.

For the second time in as many releases, we at Second State are proud to deliver a brand new artist to the label. This time it's the Techno savvy Michael Klein from Berlin and with his Drawing EP, he delivers three stellar tracks cut from a master's palette. 

Starting off with the title track 'Drawing', Michael takes us on a journey deep into the celestial spaces between lush dub and four-to-the-floor mayhem. Littered with massive stabs of solar bursts, 'Drawing' is a thrill ride at a neck break pace perfect for lifting the whole place off the foundation. 

Following the opening track is 'Illusive Space' and the name says it all. Like a jet engine, the drums do all the work, propelling the ship into hyper speed while just a couple massive blasts of a synth act as shifts into a higher gear with no slowing down in sight. 

With the final cut 'Pattern Movement', Michael enlists the help of Genevieve Marentette to pull off a colossal grinder of throbbing percussives. Interweaving agile drums with auditory hallucinations of provocative female vocals chant what everyone wants: 'Get it'. We couldn't be happier to have this guy on board and think you will agree with us unconditionally. Welcome to the Second State family Michael Klein!

Title: Buttplug/ Cartoon Heart 
Label: denseandpika 
Format: 12" maxi vinyl 
Release Date: Feb 2012 

After the supremely well received first release 'Vomee' which featured on Sven Vath's recent 'Cocoon' mix CD, the mysterious denseandpika's next release well could be one of 2012s biggest - 'Buttplug' is the lead track (already Dj Mag's 'Killer Tune' in it's recent December issue) - a kinetic powerhouse ride of roughed up beats & bass complete with a jacked up female vocal from an anonymous source. If that wasn't enough, flip side track 'Cartoon Heart' continues the high octane thrills with a phunked up house number, the duos tight production giving the track an edge over legions of derivative here today, gone tomorrow fillers
