Charles Fenckler - Gewitter



Traumer aka Romain Reynaud has been plugging away of late with a string of fresh material surfacing in 2014, much of which has seen the blossoming producer pick up support from the likes of Mr.G, Franck Roger, and Doc Martin to name but a few. Here we see Romain join the roster of Loco Dice’s Desolat imprint.

Across the double pack we see Traumer skilfully explore a range of styles, opening cut ‘Hoodlum’ eases us in nicely with a bass-driven, funk-infused groove fuelled by jazzy melodies and gritty drum sounds. ‘Insola’, which delves into darker territories, follows this with distorted rhythms, swirling vocal licks and a Detroit tinged stab sequence. ‘Shuttering’ employs a similar aesthetic tipping the focus towards weighty percussive elements while the processed chord hits subtly drive the movement of the composition. B2 ‘Static Run’ explores new territories as Traumer blends a hypnotic arpeggio with bubbling low-slung percussion and expansive atmospherics.

Entering the second 12’’ we have ‘Swish’ which sees Romain opt for a more refined and minimalistic drum groove and classic dub tactics to create a blossoming seven-minute cut. ‘Wasp’ tips the vibe back to peak hours with a bumpy head-nodding rhythm construction, while a low-pitched vocal and evolving, resonant synth lines add a further mind-bending appeal to the record. The package is then rounded off with closing pieces ‘Chord X’ and ‘Mobius’, the first of which, as the name would suggest is led by insistent chord sequences and rumbling low-end hits, while the latter well and truly polishes off the package in style with meandering synth lines and a tripped out, unfolding feel.

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.

Back at our mammoth Stay True Scotland broadcast earlier this month, one track came real close to bringing The Caves' roof down during Nina Kraviz's powerhouse headline set. "I Wanna Go Bang" very nearly executed its titular statement – well, if the song was more about wrecking balls and less about...oh, never mind.

The vocals that stalk the track, so wholly devoid of humanity, rub up against razor-sharp claps and serious bounce in the subs. It's weighty warehouse techno of the highest order, set to devastate dark basements and big tents alike throughout the year. Simply put: Icelandic producer Bjarki has delivered a bomb.

Grip the physical via трип from July 15th onwards.

Stormtrooper & Sebastian Groth: Because we Said So
At first we thought "Best s**t ever" would be description enough, but maybe we should go more into detail. 
We took a big portion of german techno maniac, added some spicey austrian industrial lunatic, stired it 
properly and cooked it on maximum heat for several hours. The result is extremely tasty hardcore tekkno. 
You should try it yourself!

Stormtrooper & Sebastian Groth - Because We Said So - ISR D84

Hailing from Taapion Records, based in Paris, France, co-label owner, Shlømo makes his debut on Wolfskuil Limited with ‘Avadon’ featuring a remix from none other than Antigone, one of Paris’ strong contenders who is also a part of the Taapion family releasing a track on its second release as well as recent EP on Token Records.

Shlømo, a young yet accomplished artist illustrates his maturity with complex rhythms in ‘Avadon Part 1’ by combining soft atmospheric textures with heavy pulsating bass and driving techno essentials. Conversely on ‘Avadon Part 2’ similar elements translate through more erratic and express percussions to introduce spatial effervescence sparking an expressive catharsis. In the Antigone remix of ‘Avadon Part 1’ the original track is flipped upside down as key components are more sensitive, purified and emotional leaving a lasting impression on the listener.

Both Shlømo and Antigone demonstrate their ability to stay true to their own personal style, a very key component in progressive artists.
