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.

Label: Neverwhere
Cat. Nr.: NVR-013
Title: Dissociative Amnesia
Artist: Larry Cadge
Release Date: June 10, 2022

Tracklist:

1. Dissociative Amnesia
2. Brainwashing
3. Synaptic Connections

Veteran London producer and Smiley Fingers label boss, Larry Cadge, joins the Neverwhere family with three fresh, raw techno bangers ready for the dance floor. After Camea and Larry’s explosive appearance on the Second State SUM Compilation in January, the musical connection was indisputable. Camea’s imprint, Neverwhere, is honored to release Larry’s next solo EP, Dissociative Amnesia.

The titled track is a meteoric, head spinning tune with transformative techno loops and spacious open hi-hats. Larry’s sophisticated production shines through here with a perfectly crafted techno track that will bring vibe to any heated dance floor.

‘Brainwashing’ follows up the titled track with a more subtle but driving groove with distorted, planetary elements that transmute listeners into a dystopian, robotic frame of mind.

‘Synaptic Connections’ closes out the EP in raw, seasoned style with funky, galactic arpeggiations and an animated sub bass. All three tracks are lively, vibey and will blaze dancefloors into the cosmos.

Welcome Larry Cadge to the Neverwhere family!

Larry Cadge & Rick Sanders - Mondaze (Dub Mix) Smiley Fingers

Larry Cadge returns to his Smiley Fingers label with another cracking release titled: ‘Aquanaut’.
  
A quiet apparition of meditative accompaniment, the original mix draws into a crescendo in its aquatic abyss made of an excellent orchestration and a pleasant redundancy. Until the warm voice of a semi-human leads to ascent along the track and to a new experience on the surface where it is easy to lose consciousness in a hypnotic way.
The Dub Mix has a strong and powerful rhythmic, overwhelming as a big wave that grows synchronously until the pause of a warm voice similar to that of an aquatic goddess who returns to push the dancefloor vehemently.

This is the natural habitat of Larry Cadge's latest work: dive for a amazing experience.
