01: Fidget
02: Confusion
03: Destroy DNA

The Glaswegian producer will contribute another EP to Second State this Autumn, cementing his place as a regular contributor on the Berlin label. ‘Confusion’ EP contains three warped, high-energy cuts from McKay, a style that has grown synonymous with his name in the techno world.

First track ‘Fidget’ opens heavy on the bass with a chopped up vocal loop that builds and gives way to clacking percussion. He switches up pitch and effects throughout to build intensity, letting all elements crash over each other at intervals. There’s a chugging vibe to the cut, with a pulsating bassline that creates serious depth. The sample orbits repeatedly, with the interruption of a sharper vocal slicing across and layering upon itself.

Next up is ‘Confusion’, skipping forward with vigor and volatile keys. Bustling arrangements charge the energy of the track with relentless hi-hats creating a tense and anxious mood. The booming kick drum echoes ferociously throughout whilst twisted melodies writhe and build, at moments drenched in distortion. Listeners are left unknowing of what’s to come as the relentless kick is halted by momentary breaks and turns.

Rounding off is club primed cut ‘Destroy DNA’. Similarly to the previous track, the direction is switched up at any moment. Airy pads create a celestial feeling that maintains a lightness despite the heavy kick. They phase in and out throughout to let key arrangements shine through, adding a harder but grooving effect to the pad-heavy journey.

The new Intec release is from Carl Bee who previously made an impact on the label in 2018 with his EP titled Untifight.

Carl Bee is based in Malta and over numerous years of DJing at many top clubs and events in the region, he has established himself as one of the countrys most respected underground talents

His releases on Intec represent the techno-focused part of his style, but something of a chameleon he has an eclectic sound, also boasting releases on highly respected labels such as Green & Saved Records.

Rumble opens the release with snare rolls that give it an upbeat party vibe, but its defining feature is the spinning LFO of the lead synth that dominates the tracks captivating breakdowns. Terrace party techno at its best, the tracks summery vibe is full of energy, making it a certified party starter.

Taking us deeper is the tech house influenced Lamination thats percussive groove has a tribal feel to the free-flowing rhythms. Vibrant textures add to the tracks high energy as well as the vocal phrases behind its title.

D974/Boltmaker OUT NOW: https://lnk.to/jameswelshPH90

Yorkshire's finest, James Welsh returns to Phantasy with a blistering pair of charismatic and heavy-duty electro jams, released as a digital exclusive.

‘D974’ quickly explodes into a full-bore warehouse banger, throughout which Welsh employs rave stabs and cavernous basslines to eye-watering effect. Nonetheless, amid the madness, Welsh’s taste for psychedelia peeks through the darkness and into the strobe light.

On the contrary, 'Boltmaker' reintroduces Welsh's more nuanced commitment to analogue electronics and sheer suspense, riding along on a razor-sharp groove that undulates between flourishes of melody that prove to be in turn both menacing and surprisingly meditative.

Alvaro Cabana started Rotten City Records as a positive will against the rotten system that plagued Madrid's electronic music scene and culture by focusing on establishing synergies among various artists that practice a free creativity road approach in the genres of Balearic fields to krautrock caves to post-punk/Newwave. This dedicated project has reached its third year and it was time to celebrate it by the launch of this remix compilation from a diverse array of Rotten Citizens such as Two Mamarrachos, Sutja Gutierrez, WLDV, Alvaro Cabana & Silicodisco from Spain, Aristidez from Lima, Russian Girls from Iceland, Duncan Gray from UK, Theus Mago & Moisees from Mexico, NewYork/Berliner Curses and @Cabaretnocturne from Brussels

Our pick for today is D.Y.O.R. (@dyorband) - 'Devil's Way' (Cabaret Nocturne Remix), a dark melancholy that uses the power of New wave inspired stabs and ghostly vocals for us the rotten citizens to dance away the night.

Often in life, the best ideas are the ones we don’t spend too much time labouring over. When the timing and ingredients are right, the results tend to look after themselves. This was definitely the case with Order, the latest EP on Second State and first collaboration between two rather unusual suspects: Brazilian producer and DJ K.A.L.I.L. and New Zealand producer, DJ and promoter Cam Harris.

Harris is an established mover and shaker in the New Zealand party scene and founder of leading events such as Sonorous Festival and La Terrazza. Through his work as a promoter he befriended the legendary D-Nox, and it was while living in Sao Paolo for a few months that D-Nox suggested Harris get in touch with local producer K.A.L.I.L. for some recording sessions. It was a successful match.

Order is big-room techno with a festive fire in its belly. An insistent synth pattern evokes a tribal celebration while a tail-end drone revs like an engine, sure to corral a crowd into a fervor. Disorder, as its name suggests, is a slipperier track loaded with motoring synths and a seductive sense of tension that never relaxes its grip. K.A.L.I.L. lends his distorted vocals to this one, uttering the titular word on repeat in a message that is part invitation, part incantation. Berlin-based Second State favorite Rocko Garoni puts his own stamp on the Order remix, a warped, echoing version of events purpose-built for the early hours of the morning after.

Supported by the remix of a Second State mainstay, this collab EP strongly announces an intercontinental pairing with a promising future: K.A.L.I.L. and Cam Harris!

Jonny Sriraxa & Luci B's indomitable sonic system, Nostalgia Futura is a project born during the first confinement period in Madrid, Spain, at the peak of the Covid-19 crisis. The overwhelming sensations of physical, social, and emotional detention painted the horizon with a nostalgic hue..."so we felt a certain type of nostalgia for this particular future..." And now, in their sets and performances, Jonny Sriraxa and LuciB aim to transmit the entirety of that accumulated energy through rhythms oriented towards the dance floor--evoking reflection through motion-- and flowing across a variety of genres, histories, and influences that fuse the old, new, and still-evolving.

Currently producing jams and organizing events in Madrid with Casa Pangea. Stay tuned :)
