Tech to the no

Tronic supremo Christian Smith and Brazil&#8217;s Wehbba have been busy creating a series of innovative single releases together that will be known as the &#8220;Passion Over Fashion - Trilogy&#8221;. In a perfect storm meeting of musical minds these two maestros have come together in the studio on a creative high after their recent, individual, critically acclaimed artist albums - &#8220;Omakase&#8221; and &#8220;Square Two&#8221;.Given that they have remixed a number of huge, high profile releases together in recent times - Funk D&#8217;Void&#8217;s classic &#8220;Diabla&#8221;; Laurent Garnier&#8217;s &#8220;Flashback&#8221; and Bushwacka&#8217;s &#8220;Westside&#8221; - it seems amazing that this is the first time that they have worked on a series of original tracks together!Has the wait been worth it? You bet! Across the releases, Christian Smith and Wehbba explore and innovate to an exceptionally high standard, creating 6 huge dancefloor moments that respectfully touch base with influences drawn from the likes of Detroit Techno, Chicago Acid House and 80&#8217;s Hi-Nrg. The first release will be:Christian Smith &amp; WehbbaPassion Over Fashion 1/31. Second Life2. Centauri(Tronic) TR114"Second Life&#8221; is pure peak-time techno of the highest order that channels the soulful brilliance of the best of Detroit into a huge ball of positive, euphoric energy. &#8220;Centauri&#8221; focuses on the E-Dancer style bassline techno with equal gusto, exposing deeper creative streak from this partnership.Pt.1 is released July 15th Passion Over Fashion Pt. 2 and Pt. 3 will follow in two month intervals.

After the success of the first A-sides compilation in 2012, Adam Beyer has decided its time to release another. With Adam's stature steadily growing as one of the leading talents in the Techno scene and the rise of Drumcode, the standard of demo's that have been sent to Adam have been top notch. Adam has now decided to release two compilations with 10 tracks on each, both consisting of tracks that Adam has tried and tested. There are also new artists that have been invited to release on Drumcode for this compilation and others who are a staple in Drumcode's core family. Combining both old and new talents Drumcode have come up with something unique and distinctive to make this two-part compilation something extra special.

Gregor Tresher kicks off 2015 looking to break new soil with his first ever full release for John Digweed's Bedrock Records.   

Last year was as hectic as ever for the Gregor and he came into it on high from the success of his artist album Nightcolours and having closed out 2013 by releasing an astonishing Laurent Garnier remix of the title track, on his own imprint.   Time to relax a little maybe? Not a chance. January saw the remixed version of the album hit the stores and this was backed within a few weeks by 'Taurus', Gregor's enticing collaboration with Petar Dundov. The summer saw him remix the Chymera classic 'Shadowdancer' and he closed 2014 with the superb 'Midas / Disturber' double-header.   

Somewhat of a musical chameleon, Tresher is as at home creating deeper shades of house for the likes of Moon Harbour and Ovum as he is techno rhythms for Music Man, Cocoon and Drumcode.   With label boss Digweed a huge fan, Bedrock is yet another perfect fit for the German and he opens his account with the mighty, melodic and Kraken'esque 'Goliath' and the razor-sharp lightning bolt that is 'Stormblade'.

We here at Second State are thrilled to bring you our new concept entitled HUB. While most labels these days are doing various artists releases to showcase the overall talent on their label, we thought it would be better suited for both our listeners and ourselves to break the mold and bring you a series of true collaborations. Each HUB release will feature a single artist teaming up with others from the Second State family to create an EP of authentic musical compromises. A place where multiple minds find a harmony somewhere outside their own identity and each collaboration conceives a genuinely unique artifact. With this, there is no one we would rather have kick off the series than the man behind the massive EPs; 'Throwl' and 'Doch', Stephan Hinz with HUB One!

Of course it would only be right to kick off the first track of the first HUB One way. An alliance with, Pan-Pot. "Tension' is a heavy number with just a few key elements, it's a slow lurking journey through a dark forest at night. As each bush and branch is pushed aside and every step inches closer to a destination unknown, the pressure builds. Soon, without knowing, you are in the depths of a jungle with no way back and only one decision. Keep going.

A revered techno icon with 25 years DJing experience under her belt, Monika Kruse holds a special place in the hearts and minds of electronic music lovers worldwide. On the back of last year’s stunning collaborative EP ‘Colours’, she rejoins Pig&Dan to craft a dynamic trio of tracks that have been igniting her sets in recent months.

“When I first met Pig and Dan a long time ago, we just clicked from the first moment. It felt like I’d found my brothers! It’s been a really happy experience working with them over the last two years. We wanted to show our variety with this EP; ‘Sensation’ is a funky uplifting track and already got a lot of feedback when I played it at the Mixmag Lab, ‘Oblivion’ shows our love of a heavy bassline and ‘Boogie Man’ is for the trippy techno moments.” – Monika Kruse

Pig&Dan’s return to Terminal M continues a busy 2016 for the pair, who released their fourth album ‘Modular Baptism’ earlier this year.

Amelie Lens – Let It Go EP [SNDST020]

Beatport: btprt.dj/2bnuWok

2: Amelie Lens – Linger On 
3: Amelie Lens – Let It Go 
4: Amelie Lens – The Finest Hour

It is with a feverish excitement that we can finally announce the next EP in our catalog from our newest addition to the Second State family: Amelie Lens. Besides being quite a multi-talented virtuoso, the Belgian artist comes in hot and heavy for her debut release ‘Let It Go’ and with it showcases her prowess for dark, cutting-edge techno. Over the span of four tracks Lens takes us on a tour-de-force journey into the cerebral spaces of large, dark rooms and flashing strobe lights. Kicking things off is the hypnotically inducing 'Wild' with looping vocals laid over an ever increasing pressure of percussion and white noise. Much like the EP opener, 'Linger On' casts the same spell yet picks up the pace with racing snares and meteoric synth washes creating a deeply euphoric ride. The title track ’Let It Go' is up next and is by far the most 'cheeky' tune of the EP with a twisted acid line swirling around the constant begging of Lens’ voice encouraging you to "Let It Go, Let It Out". Rounding out the EP is 'The Finest Hour' and Lens wraps up her debut with the most psychedelic cut of the package. Low rumbling bass tones and spaced out pads over sparse drums leave lots of room for the imagination providing each listener to create their own journey to navigate. If this is Amelie Lens' debut with us, we expect a lot of very big things to come from the young Belgian and so should you. Welcome Amelie Lens!

Make It Bun Dem After Hours EP

Make It Bun Dem (Brodinski Remix)

“Bridging the gap between the old & the NEW, the minimal & the MAXIMAL, minMAX represents a widening of scope as we explore the area between the sounds of classic MINUS & PLUS 8.
As others subdivide and categorize we bring things back together, opening things up more freely and allow a closer connection to the music that I love and the sounds and textures that many of my DJ sets journey through.” - Richie Hawtin
