Ben Knoxx - Closer OL Remix SNIPPET

new SUM 5 compilation on second state Recs out! My track Mineral is on as well!

Martin Eyerer - Mineral - second state

ANNA V. Returns to her own label, this time presenting an emotional record. 

Diversity is in her mindset and this EP could not escape the general rule. Combining elements from so many different styles, like Acid, Progressive, Trance, even cinematic soundscapes (a typical characteristic in her music), but built around a solid Techno groove, this EP brings out emotions and images. 

Producing in an entirely new, non-linear workflow, a pattern she developed during the years, Anna has achieved to create 2 incredible bangers filled with never before heard sounds and ingenious engineering through hardware synths and her own recordings.

From a technical aspect, the low end was manifested using a new compression method Anna developed, a one she calls "inverted limiting compression", allowing the bass harmonics to pump out while the edge and rumble become sturdy and solid, putting to test every single sound system. 

Dark Energy is a musical, acid like track created to lift large crowds up in the air with its relentless rhythm as well as it's sudden changes with clever breaks and elements like her own breathing in the main break. 

Anthem for a Lost Soul is pure sentiment. Moody and melancholic, was created in memory of one of her friend’s son, who left at a very young age. Gigantic pads and basses combine, where sentiment increases through the freestyle live performance of her in the synths while recording, slightly off quantising to give the track a “human touch”.

There was no better home for these originals, other than her own, so ANNA returns to her own label, this time talking to us, from her heart.

Your favorite compilation series is back with more of the pummeling, moody techno you’ve come to expect from Second State – plus a few surprises.

On 'Trip Tales', Watergate resident The Reason Y and relative newcomer Tømas Sinn team up on a driving, hypnotic techno cut built for big rooms and post-peaktime blear. Dutch veteran Secret Cinema picks up the pace on 'Zürich', a deliciously unsettling blend of distorted stabs, tribal arpeggios and an atmosphere that is at once tense and mysterious. There’s a lightness and delicacy to Risa Taniguchi’s 'She': The Japanese producer layers hi-hats, rattles, a strong, lean, bassline and airy synths for a techno track compelling in its subtlety; a welcome contrast to harder beats. Swiss techno don Quenum goes for understated suspense on 'Fact Action', a slow-building mood piece that unfurls with the drama of a cinematic score and is perfect for between-banger breathers.

Prepare to take off into another dimension with Triathlon’s 'One Track Brain', a pulsing, futuristic trip shot with sci-fi lasers and springy bass: It’s a one-track ride to oblivion. The tinkling synths that welcome 'Tropical Heart' signal a different side of Second State: Three emerging Israeli talents, Jos & Eli and Magit Cacoon team up on this kinetic, warm track with a proggy core. The results are spiritual, ethereal and dynamic; a breath of fresh air. A walloping kick to introduce Dutchman Joran van Pol’s 'Derelict' pulls the comp back into hard, dark territory. Menacing echoes and fidgety synths create a prickling unease that, much like the kick, never lets up. 'Sleep Deprived Vibration' paints an evocative scene: flashing strobes, t-shirts wet with sweat, faces in various states of blissful disarray. You know exactly what Glaswegian producer Frazi.er is talking about here: the best kind of sleep deprivation, fueled by the electrical charge of tracks like this one.

Argentinian Eme Kulhnek lets 'Efforts' simmer like a perfectly cooked stew, gradually shifting out of subtle atmospherics and shrouded voices into faster and more curious terrain. Keening, circular bleeps and chanting conjure something primitive and magnetic. The Polish producers DUSS, meanwhile, head to the race track with 'Kevin the Second', a motoring, high octane thrill ride loaded with revving synths, snapping percussion and masterful pauses and drops. Greek duo Bleur & MB1 bring the listener on a cosmic trip anchored by thumping beats with 'Humans' which, contrary to its title, operates in a “parallel universe” involving time machines, robotic female voiceovers and an industrial yet melodic whirr and hum. The Italian producer Blackrachas made 'Five O’Clock' with the witching hour in mind. Burbling drones, tickling synths and monstrous mumblings combine in an ominous melange bound to hit the spot as the moon casts its last shadows.

Consistency is reassuring, but variety holds interest. On SUM 8, Second State offers the best of both worlds in what is arguably their most colorful and wide-ranging compilation to date.
