Second State’s next various artist offering comprises a broad and varied selection of stand-out producers from the UK, Holland, Israel, Spain and beyond. Bristling with 11 vibrant pieces, SUM 10 exhibits the ever-evolving sound of the accomplished Berlin imprint.

Long-standing luminary of Tel-Aviv’s underground scene @yotamavni opens up with “Afrika Salam”, a chuggy cut with tribal and abstract sonic elements. Following is a return to Second State from Amsterdam based producer @tahko, who incorporates pulsating basslines, distorted mechanics and a doomy, trembling vocal sample in “Relieved”. Switching things up is Berlin based duo @mistakemade, who equip the album with their buzzing, breaks infused cut “Othau”.

Next up are three producers who give us a glimpse into what’s to come on Second State over 2021. Londoner @kai_van_dongen uses mesmeric notes that swirl above thumping bass in his glistening roller “Hypno 5”, while Madrid’s @indirapaganotto incorporates a trembling kick and hissing female vocal that vigorously build tension in her contribution “Katsumi”. Next up is Portuguese producer @hollden_official with “Myosotis”, a bubbling electro-infused expedition that immerses listeners by sampling deep, shallow breaths and radio chatter. Italy’s @giorgiaangiuli-1 & @boston-168 join forces on the record, enlisting Angiuli’s airy vocals and the Italian duo’s signature acid sound for psychedelic track “Entrainment”.

Resistance is Techno resident @endrewmusic from Italy comes back to his debut label with “Release”, complete with a colossal kick drum, jumping chords and dreamy pads that float deftly under heaving percussion. German producer duo @dysfaction take the reins next in “Synaptic Accelerator”, opening with a kick and pulsating synths before a bellowing organ commands focus. Rounding off the compilation are two immensely skilled Spanish producers, David Granha and Auriga. @dgranha steps up with arpeggiated metal riffs and nonlinear hi-hats in his vigorous composition “Roopkund”, maintaining the energy of the record with many layers of instrumentation. Closing out is @aurigasound with her epilog “This Is Our World”, a booming kick drum sets the pace whilst a robotic voice echoes and fades, allowing scattered keys, sharp synths and snare drums to bring a menacing tone to the finish.

Stream / Download: https://fanlink.to/TR486

Having earned a reputation as one of the most respected artists on the underground techno circuit throughout his esteemed, decade-long career, American-Korean DJ and producer Juheun kick-starts 2024 with one of the finest additions to his discography to date. Armed with a catalog of standout releases on the likes of Octopus Recordings, Kuukou and Set About (to name a few) the Phoenix-based artist now announces his EP debut on Christian Smith's Tronic imprint, with the mighty 'Phantom'. Due for worldwide release on Friday, February 9, Juheun's 'Phantom' EP sees the in-demand producer land on Tronic for the first time since his immense 'Open Door' collaboration with Drunken Kong, which was released as part of the label's 'Rockets Launch 15' VA in December 2022. Delivering an unrelenting three-track package of driving, industrial techno, the Phantom EP features two new original solo productions from Juheun and is completed by an official remix from Swedish producer and returning Tronic artist, Hertz. Opening the EP with the frenetic title track 'Phantom', Juheun goes full throttle from the outset as he unleashes an intense, peak-time weapon, propelled by relentless percussion and frenzied synth stabs. Flawlessly executed and primed for those early hours warehouse moments, the blistering techno cut is another perfect example of Juheun's incredible technical capabilities in the studio. Progressing through the EP, Juheun's second original offering sees the introduction of 'Empty Space'. Blending a plethora of complementary percussive elements with otherworldly soundscapes and ethereal vocal chops, the immersive middle order delivers on both rhythm and melody in equal measure; its masterfully layered drum patterns and trippy synth work create a track that's both familiar and progressive. Last, but by no means least, the reigns are handed to Swedish production powerhouse and hard groove maestro, Hertz, who's tasked with putting his own inimitable spin on Juheun's powerful opener. With a slew of impressive career releases on the likes of Tronic, Suara, Drumcode, 1605 and Sway (amongst others) the Gothenberg-based stalwart combines whirring basslines with heavy kicks and ravey synth work as he returns to Christian Smith's long-standing label to round out Juheun's 'Phantom' EP in style.

"Shadow Roots" showcases Dast's sonic evolution, offering a 3-trackers that navigates the intricate spaces between house and techno. This EP not only reflects Dast's roots in the vibrant musical culture of Naples but also his journey through the electronic music landscape. 

The opening track, "Parentesi" is a darker techno cut, showcasing his storytelling skills with a fast tempo, pulsating leads and a rolling groove, underscoring Dast's versatility and innovative approach to music production. Following, "I Can't Get" captivates with hypnotic drum breaks and repeating chopped vocals, enriched by dreamy pads that maintain the EP's thematic blend.

This track masterfully bridges house warmth with techno's drive, creating a unique "power house" vibe.

Parentesi

For release number 198 we welcome Dave Davis and ID10-T, that bring along their huge baggage of knowledge in the area of dance music, from playing at big festivals like May Day to releasing early classics on the Belgian label Bonzai in the 90’s and now delivering a 4-track EP on our very own Say What?

We start with the title track 'Boomerang' - a rolling funk-driven four-to-the-floor anthem that keeps pushing with its hypnotic sequence, dancefloor friendly arrangement and pulsating bass that makes the track flow like a wave of energy.

Next up is 'Scratch', bringing back the French Touch time with its disco influenced groove and use of samples. The crafty bass that runs through the track will keep you full on focussed on dancing the night away!

Third on the release is 'Axis', where chords and vocal snippets modulate in perfect harmony, bringing you into a state of total bliss while the low end rumble evinces that Dave and ID10-T produced the perfect early morning tune!

Last but not least is 'Junk Funk' and as the name already states it’s a funky affair that whether experienced in the heat of a packed nightclub or in the solitude of a darkened room with headphones it is sure to leave a lasting impression!

Enjoy

Poland’s DEAS kicks off his ‘Maniac’ two-tracker on CLR with title track ‘Maniac’, featuring deep, sub-heavy rhythms accompanied by techno stabs that dart playfully over its groove.

Planet Rhythm, Arts, and ara artist DEAS has long been a staple on CLR, first appearing on the label in 2021 with the ‘Command’ EP. He’s since dropped three more releases on Chris Liebing’s imprint, the latest being his 2023 ‘Fear’ EP, which won support from the likes of Dave Clarke, Dubfire, Bloody Mary, Amanda Mussi & many more.

Day by Day

Life hit's harder than a baseball bat 
Made big money with a big ass bet
Invite your girl cuz her ass so fat 
And I don't like pets but now got pussy-cat

weather was so hot she was so wet
man i was so high higher than Trav
was so hungry ate this beat like a bread
Dumped my past like its a trash in bag

working so hard i aint dporin a sweat 
did a little to much passed out near the bed 
all cash on green like life is roulette 
no time to think no time to regret

so fly
like jet
so rare 
corvette

i like the blonde 
dont mind, brunette

u can smoke here bot not cigarette
when the beat stops i get upset

being a fisherman taught me by my granddad
so all my bitches walkin in nets

they chasing the clout, i'll teach'em - Offset 
they want to be someone else so bad

all my beliefs like bulletproof vest
can not forget the day that i met 
the death now i can not be scared

i thrive at night like bat
i shine at day like gem 
can try to break me

even life could not, and
