Second State will drop its next various artists' compilation this summer featuring 12 artists from today’s techno scene, showcasing their individual sound and production skills. The 11 tracks each incorporate elements from techno sub-genres to create a varied and intoxicating release from the Berlin imprint, welcoming Second State regulars and new names alike to continue paving the way for the label’s sound. 

Returning to Second State is Yotam Avni, who opens the record with the dynamically layered ‘Panic’. The breakdowns of this track switch up during its flow, varying in intensity as it progresses. Valentinø and My Flower hasten the pace with ‘Lightfire’, packed with minimal drumwork, booming bass and phased bursts of ethereal keys. Up next is Simon Stiglmeier with a piece of kaleidoscopic techno in ‘Dancy’, complete with a grooving vocal synth. SOTO follows with enveloping bass and rippling synth waves in ‘Core’, whilst Techno live band Komfortrauschen power on with a warbling bassline and whirring atmospherics with ‘Each Second’. 

‘Subconscious Reset’ from Juliet Fox contributes a barrage of alarms and sharp, chilling synths that echo menacingly throughout, followed by Isabel Soto with pulsating cut ‘Momentum’ - a stripped back, down-tempo roller. Gutto Serta takes listeners down a rabbit hole with trippy cut ‘Maximize’, with airy pads whispering underneath bleeps and a sultry vocal sample. Building the record to crescendo is Dextro’s booming and raucous track ‘Omonoia’, with razor sharp hoover sounds and an earth-shattering kick & hi-hat combo. Maintaining the powerful energy is Daryl Stay with his propulsive weapon ‘Phalanx’, followed by the final track from Avision, ‘Tunnel’, featuring playful synth and acid lines that bounce over the phased percussion, and a shift in pitch to build the track’s intensity.

Air Phaser EP

Alberto Ruiz - Air Phaser (Hollen Remix)

Sam Paganini kicks off a new series of remixes of his recent album “Light + Shadow” tracks with a first Volume featuring music from Marco Faraone, DEAS and Boston 168. Due for release on July 8th, first Sam debuts his long awaited new LIVE show in Madrid at Fabrik on June 25th. It features plenty of upgrades and new tracks from his last album Light+ Shadow with dedicated visuals all in sync to make it a hugely immersive audio-visual experience like none other, with further venues to follow in autumn and winter.

Sam is a global techno innovator who has been at the forefront for years. He has released on key labels from Plus8 to Drumcode and Cocoon and is never far from the top of the Beatport charts. He runs the JAM label and has played every major club and festival in the world. His last album showed off two very different but equally vital sides to his ever evolving sound and now comes the first of a new series of remixes.

First up, Flash (Marco Faraone Remix) is a heavy and edgy techno cut with rock solid drums. The synths are raved and the energy is tough with an unrelenting groove sure to lock in the floor. Galaxy (DEAS Remix) is then a six minute roller with frazzled synths searching across the face of the track, thunderous claps and fat bass all driving forwards. Heaven (Boston 168 Remix) closes with plenty of bright trance synths over hyper-speed drums in a track that will take the club into another dimensions.

This is a superb first package of remixes with more to come.

Born in Madrid, Spain in 1980, Oscar L’s passion for electronic music was evident from an early age. As a child, he would imagine himself as a radio host, presenting the latest hits in his bedroom with equipment he had built himself.

His journey as an artist began in local DJ booths, performing at various events around Madrid. In 2001, his career took off when he won the first-ever DJ contest hosted by Loca FM, a pioneering electronic music radio station in Spain.

In 2002, he launched his own radio show, DMiX, on Dance FM, a national station created by one of Spain’s leading radio groups, Onda Cero.

Balancing his roles as both DJ and radio host, Oscar soon ventured into music production—a move that would mark a turning point in his career. Early on, he and his production partner created the alias Serenade, under which they released several tracks supported by some of the biggest names in trance, including Armin Van Buuren, Ferry Corsten, and Paul Van Dyk.

Eager to evolve his sound, Oscar explored Techno, House, and Tech House—genres that would bring him broader recognition within the industry.

He began releasing music on top-tier labels, including Beatfreak Recordings—one of the most influential progressive house labels in the world, led by the respected artist D-Formation.

In 2015, Oscar reached a major milestone when his track "Alors on Danse" (released on Suara) hit #1 on the Beatport sales chart—the most prominent platform for electronic music—cementing his status as an international artist.

From then on, top artists and record labels sought out Oscar for both original tracks and remixes. He’s delivered remixes for industry giants like Danny Tenaglia, Umek, DJ Chus, Andrea Oliva, Hannes Bieger, Ken Ishii, and Giorgia Angiuli. His music has been supported and played by global heavyweights such as Adam Beyer, Richie Hawtin, Carl Cox, Nicole Moudaber, Mathame, Joseph Capriati, and Ilario Alicante, among others.

Oscar has released music on some of the most prestigious labels in the industry, including Drumcode (Adam Beyer), Knee Deep In Sound (Hot Since 82), Stereo Productions (Chus & Ceballos), Truesoul (also by Adam Beyer), We Are The Brave (Alan Fitzpatrick), and 1605 (Umek).

In 2018, his track "Monster Tube" (Truesoul) became a massive hit, breaking records and quickly becoming one of the most-played tracks of the year. To this day, it remains a staple in the playlists of many top DJs.

He joined the Stereo Productions family, performing at internationally renowned festivals like The BPM Festival in Mexico, Costa Rica, and Portugal.

Later, he became part of the prestigious Drumcode artist roster, performing at their festival editions in Malta and Croatia, as well as club events across the globe.

Since then, Oscar's ascent has been unstoppable. He's performed at some of the most iconic festivals and venues across Europe and the Americas. Highlights include Tomorrowland, The BPM Festival, Drumcode Festival, Dreambeach, and Empires Music Festival, among others.

Today, Oscar L continues to expand his artistic reach, positioning himself as one of Spain’s leading electronic music talents with a bright and influential future ahead.
