Harvey’s highly anticipated single starts with the title track ‘Lost’ that comprises of a catchy vocal hook and rhythmic synth stabs to set the mood. This is layered over a straight, serious beat that has lots of energy and grit to make any speaker stack shake. ‘Find My Mind’ uses a mixture of reversed and straight hats to create a funky groove that is sprinkled with hypnotic synth stabs and a mesmerising vocal. ‘Hard To See’ uses a funky sub bass in combination with some swinging drums to create a groove that will rattle the speakers and bring the house down.

Miguel Bastida - Cielo (Original Mix)

What better way to mark the 20th anniversary of Tronic, his forward-thinking label, than creating a new artist album? Christian Smith stands out as one of the worlds leading exponents of inventive, diverse techno and Stranger Than Paradise continues his enthralling, ever-evolving musical journey with aplomb. The fact that Tronic is one of the Top 5 selling techno labels in the world is a mark of a man who stands for nothing less than pure quality. 
Having previously released benchmark, critically acclaimed LPs Omakase (2013) and Directors Cut (2010) Christian Smith is no stranger to creating supreme, danceoor orientated albums, that explore and showcase his diverse musical style. Both as a DJ and producer, he is always innovative and bold, a leader not a follower. 
Alongside the jaw-dropping excellence of the solo tracks, this new album also features dynamic, inventive collaborations with Wehbba (Christians great friend and regular collaborator), the New York based house music legend Cevin Fisher, long-time studio collaborator John Selway (of Smith &amp; Selway fame), and Christians childhood friend and hip-hop artist Arcturus Ra. 
The Stranger Than Paradise album project will be unveiled rst as four singles released at weekly intervals through the month of October, with the full album release following in the rst week of November on 12 vinyl and digital formats. An album remix pack will be released in December.

The Junkies touch down with the very House-y Just Cant Try, and the rocksteady rhythm section ensures maximum momentum as a rubber-band bassline provides the backdrop for classic chord stabs and persistent hi hats. Jaceos version goes for a more cavernous approach with snare edits piercing the thick air and streamlined synths adding extra class to the dubbed-out atmosphere.

Label master Markantonio is glad to bring back on MKT Rec the Italian talent Dj/Producer Hollen. Release number Forty-One is a cool pack called “Monopoly” EP, that includes two original mixes of Hollen and the remix of Alberto Ruiz & Oscar Aguilera, both very well known in Spanish Electronic scene and Oscar is also a famous DJ playing since a lot around Spain and Italy.

“Brio” Original Mix is a cool Techno big room bomb, made by a rough synth in background supporting an heavy kick and massive spacey chords.

Alberto Ruiz & Oscar Aguilera gave a special big room touch to “Brio” making a nice underground powerful version with a groovy rhythm and a deep Techno bassline.

“Monopoly” has a nice elastic groove, where bouncing beats and energetic melodies are mixed up to create a fusion of essential Techno feelings.Another strike from MKT Rec. fixing the right elements together as usual, right producers and right tracks for a proper Techno label.

The Carl Cox Collective was created as an admirable, innovative royalty-free sample effort made up of sounds first recorded from scratch with instruments and vintage gear, then thoughtfully manipulated by none other than Carl Cox himself.

Keeping true to the dance floor darkness of the original, Carl Cox's rendition of 'Lidl Girl' provides an instant boost, driving straight into a mesmerizing beat that makes a smooth, obvious fit into the legendary Cox catalogue.

3: Pan-Pot – Lose Yourself
4: Pan-Pot – Lose Yourself (Marcel Fengler Remix) [digital only]

After nearly a year since their sophomore album 'The Other', Pan-Pot return home to Second State with a stunning EP showcasing the duos proficiency for composing dynamic, cutting-edge Techno. 
Over the span of three tracks, 'Solace' EP navigates through a trifecta of distinct styles that unquestionably bear the mark of Pan-Pot's masterstroke. Kicking it off at a breakneck pace is the title track 'Solace' with rapid fire low end and intense tones laying the bedrock for a wildly uplifting presentation of keys creating the ideal balance between opposing forces. 
Up next is 'Consequence' which see the duo team up with Martin Eyerer for a newly styled trip down memory lane. By pairing key elements of the sounds of early Pan-Pot and contemporary production, the trio have succeeded in conceiving a fever inducing, big room hit. 
Rounding out the EP is 'Lose Yourself' and it is by far the most grandiose of the trilogy. Lush pads and soaring sonic stairs build toward a zenith as the ceaseless chant of "lose yourself" escorts the traveller through an elated dream. 
To top it all off, Pan-Pot personally enlisted the expertise of IMF's label boss, the mighty Marcel Fengler. With an astute awareness, Fengler weaves the original artifacts of ‘Lose Yourself' into a truly unique orchestration of rugged percussion and euphoric abstraction. 
Although it's been a year since we last saw Pan-Pot on Second State, once you experience 'Solace', we think you'll agree, it's good to have the bosses back home.
