Digital & Vinyl release: 26th March 2021

A1: No Mercy
B1: Joker Smile
B2: Sticky

Frankfurt born and Berlin based Michael Klein returns to Pan-Pot’s Second State for his next EP on the label. Following on from 2020’s big hits ‘Der Sturm Kommt’ and ‘Hoisin’ the ‘No Mercy’ EP builds from an incredibly productive year for the BLK DRP label boss.

‘No Mercy’ opens proceedings with a subdued synth subtle kick and concentrated snare hits. A bellowing kick drum then follows while a 303 cuts through and creates a dark twisted undertone for the listener. Snare drums and claps each add an element of texture that ties everything together and any let off or respite is short lived before diving back in head first to the sonic storm.‘

Joker Smile’ is up next. Keeping with the tone of the record so far a heavily weighted acidic lead orchestrates a foreboding atmosphere from the get-go. The furious acid notes swirl in and out before blistering hi-hats and snares are infused. Rapid percussion builds a sense of adrenaline and restlessness pushing the energy higher while an ever-present kick drum slams over and over leaving the power of the 303 to take full effect.

Bringing things to a close on the EP is ‘Sticky’ where Michael shows us his ability to build melody and synths seamlessly into heavy and powerful techno tracks. A rhythmic plucking synth runs throughout this finisher that builds and plummets into itself. Jolting claps and hi-hats are paired together raising the intensity. Distorted vocal samples ring out in the distance adding to the malicious dark nature of the track. These twisted samples become more and more entangled drawing you in deeper until the end.

Michael once again shows that his abilities in the studio make him a force to be reckoned with – and his newest release blasts speakers with no mercy.

Alan Fitzpatrick's record label We Are The Brave drops a vigorous techno EP from German artist Michael Klein.

The Berlin based producer is known for his seminal releases on Pan-Pot's Second State, Sven Väth's Cocoon and his own BLK DRP. Klein’s We Are The Brave debut is everything fans expect from such an exceptional talent. His hypnotic style is a fusion of fast-paced industrial beats and hypnotic synths intertwined with dark or dystopian atmosphere.

"Token Complex" opens the release with its raw and jackin' groove that's explosive energy is propelled by a muffled vocal sample and a rave inspired synth line. "Aspect" takes its title from the hypnotic vocal sample that's paired with dramatic synth stabs, thrashing percussion and a pounding kick drum. "Voice of Distance" focuses on a monstrous bassline with modulation tones that are underpinned by a tidal wave of driving percussion.

With this EP Kaiserdisco wants to draw attention to mental illness and the use of music as a therapy.

As the boys are having some experiences with mental illness in their family and closer circle of friends, they know that affected people can use music to make themself feel better.

The EP contains three tracks. The first one is an intro, called „Paranoid“. The second one is called „Bipolar Disorder“ followed by the last track „Schizophrenic“.

„Paranoid“ consists of a repetitive chord melody, which starts quietly and dry. By using delay and reverb effects, the track builds up more and more energy until it finally discharges in a musical thunderstorm.

„Bipolar Disorder“ shows two different faces, similar to the symptoms of the disease. This proper techno track is running and running with it’s triple eights monoton synthline, gets fuller and increases more and more tension until it changes completely to show it’s second face and turns to an unexpected emptiness with a brutal and mind-blowing signature bass sound. 

„Schizophrenic“ finally comes up with a quirky and never ending, short melody which bores itself into your head and into your mind. This little synth theme feels like it is chasing you like a subliminal message, that wants to make you dance and go crazy.
