Wolle Dj-Set@F.L.O.W. Festival 2013

Born in the UK and now resident in South America, James Monro's association with the music industry goes back some 25 years, culminating in the release of the "Fonik" EP on Proton Music. DJ appearances across the world ensured the seasoned traveller was well versed in the global club scene before settling in his now Brazilian home and, as a founding father of seminal trance label, Flying Rhino Records, his reputation through the 1990s and into the dawn of the new millennium grew in stature with over 100 production credits to his name for the likes of Flow, Iboga and Candyflip Records. Furthermore, music production for television and theatre plus the Tropical Beats imprint and DJ agency has cemented Monro's status within the industry.

Moving into solo ventures in recent years has brought significant renewed success. 2011 saw Monro's Midnight Ramblers pseudonym gain traction with an appearance on John Digweed's "Structures Two" compilation with the techno gem, "Scarab", charted number one by Nick Warren and heavily supported by Hernan Cattaneo and Robert Babicz. Appearances on Andrea Bertolini's Stereo Seven and the 4DigitalAudio label (set up with fellow producer Grant Collins in 2008) has demonstrated an impressive 2013, while once again coming to the attention of Nick Warren with a contribution to his "Renaissance: Masters Series" in the shape of the beautiful "Ambientworkx7" - a notable highlight. Two remixes of Juan Deminicis' "Behind The Sun" in October 2013 opened James Monro's account with Proton Music and it is with huge excitement that we now announce the release of his debut EP on the label in the shape of the much-anticipated three-track "Fonik".

Opening with a thirteen-minute piece of epic scope and vision, the title track encapsulates Monro's passion for music through the lens of a quarter of a century's knowledge and experience. House rhythms anchored by a snapping kick form the basis for a meandering journey of TB-303 acid groove to play out, accompanied by luscious swells of rising pads and emotive riffs. Underpinned by a love of music from the soul, this is momentous work.

"Singularity" is full of vibrant dynamism. Driven by a bass line full of dance floor energy, the track is a cleverly crafted combination of halcyon progressive flavours from the genre's heyday and a mature modern sound that is a unique expression of Monro's musical passions. Shimmering pads, crashing effects and infectious groove are certain to make the track a peak-time favourite.

With a deep house essence, "Krush" rounds of proceedings with a delicate blend of deep rhythmic underpinning, ticking hats, rich chord progressions and spacious pads. Hypnotic accents and effects litter the sonic spectrum before a glassy arpeggio filters gently to the fore before dropping away to leave the angular and textured collage to play out their magic.

An acute awareness and understanding of dance music's place within the fabric of its historical context has led James Monro to produce the extraordinary "Fonik" EP.

Pan-Pot - The Other Remixes [SNDST015]

1. Pan-Pot - Riot (Carl Cox Remix)
2. Pan-Pot - Fugitives (Joseph Capriati Remix)
3. Pan-Pot - Your Attention (Nicole Moudaber Remix)
4. Pan-Pot - Optimistic Grey (Extrawelt Dub)
5. Pan-Pot - Riot (Paul Ritch Remix)
6. Pan-Pot - Sleepless (Stephan Bodzin Remix)
7. Pan-Pot - 808 Nirvana (Ray Kajioka Remix)
8. Pan-Pot - Broken Engine (Wigbert Deeper Remix)
9. Pan-Pot - Punxsutawney (Alan Fitzpatrick Remix)
10. Pan-Pot - Get In (Kevin Knapp‛s ME First Remix)

As the dust finally begins to settle after the release of Pan-Pot's massive album 'The Other', it's time to unleash a collection of heavy hitting reworks from the best and brightest stars of todays techno elite. Through careful consideration and an acute attention to detail, we couldn't be more elated to confirm ten artists we know and love to contribute their unique vision to Second State's first ever remix package.

Kicking things off with a heavily twisted alteration of 'Attention' is Nicole Moudaber and it's a tangled, dark trek through dense acoustic layers of audible madness. Next up is the Hamburg duo

Extrawelt with their twist on 'Optimistic Grey' and they deliver a beautiful blend of emotion and groove they are synonymous for.

Following suit is another passionately romantic number from man of the hour, Stephan Bodzin, and his take feels like floating through a sea of clouds, resulting in a timeless classic to be a focal point in any set for years to come.

Next in line is Ray Kajioka's take on '808 Nirvana' and it's a cosmic ride, ripe with swirling atmospherics laid over big churning drums and rolling cymbals.

Following up on the second 12“ of this LP is a man who needs no introduction: Carl Cox. And in true Coxy fashion he turns 'Riot' into just that: a big room, tension building monster!

Broken Engine' is the next track to get worked over and Wigbert delivers a stunning mix of shimmering tones and growling bass resulting in a lush venture through a cosmic backdrop of flickering stars in deep space.

Joseph Capriati ensues with his vision of 'Fugitives' and he brilliantly keeps the vibe of the original yet adds his trademark big room flair to take it to another level of driving euphoria.

Enlisting the talents of Alan Fitzpatrick to remix one of the slower listening tracks on the album turned out to be magic. With his signature percussion, Fitzpatrick takes the parts and creates a dive deep into sultry smooth waters of seduction.

The first of our last two remixes, which are digital exclusives, come from Paul Ritch and he delivers a grinding rendition of 'Riot', expertly crafted for the more euphoric peak time occasions.

Last and certainly not least is a man on the rise, Kevin Knapp with his twist on his own collaboration with Pan-Pot: 'Get In'. An expertly crafted tech house jam exploding with energy and attitude perfect for any moment, day or night, indoors or out.

No matter the time or place, there is something here for everyone and we are truly fulfilled and honored to present this package of cutting edge artists to celebrate this landmark moment. We know you will enjoy!

Unknown Concept - Transcend (Original Mix)

The Mauritian maestro Ken Zo makes his triumphant return to Techgnosis Records with 'Himawari'; an incredible 5 track journey through powerful and emotive progressive crossover music. The long-awaited follow up to 2018's 'The Insignificant I', this deeply personal release yet again sets the standard for Ken Zo's brand of deep, melodic psytech.

A word from the artist:

'Himawari is the Japanese word for 'Sunflower'. The Sunflower is my own personal symbolism for meaningful and transformative life experiences I've been through when I started writing this EP in 2018. 2 years down the road, this symbolism now also represents the end of a chapter of my life. Each track in this EP is a product of raw and powerful emotions. The order of the tracks respects the chronological order in which each track was written, and so the flow of emotions is also respected - each track is also a by-product somehow of the emotion that drove me to write 'Himawari'.

✦ The Low Down ✦

Our psychedelic siblings at Techgnosis Records have revisited one of the biggest tracks this calendar year - 'Brainchild' and they've given it the deluxe remix treatment it's deserved. 

This week, we are extremely honoured to be showcasing one of the all-time greats, Jossie Telch. His remix is everything die hard psy-tech fans desire. The strong punchy kick, warm chuggy baseline, drippy sounds and psychedelic textures with that signature JT touch. 

Jossie's remix of 'Brainchild' is just another reason why the man is regarded as one of the best producers of our time and we are excited to be getting amongst some silly shenanigans to this track in the near future.
