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.

Spartaque's upcoming mini album, "Cross The Line" is set to release on May the 19th, 2023 on his own CODEX label.
It is a bold statement in the ever-evolving world of techno music, featuring five eclectic tracks that blur the lines between peak time techno and hard techno. The title track serves as a personal anthem for Spartaque as he takes a bold step into a new genre. "Cross The Line" is a must-listen for party rebels who are unafraid to push boundaries and challenge themselves.

Berlin/Barcelona based OFF Recordings is run by Andre Crom, focusing its sound to different shades of techno. In the past 2 years, the label has featured the likes of Charlotte de Witte, Cari Lekebusch, Luca Agnelli, TWR72 and a selection of other well-known and emerging artists. The previous OFF Recordings release from DEAS picked up feedback and support from the likes of Slam, Pan-Pot, Adam Beyer, Cristian Varela and Amelie Lens. This new release is from German born Arnd Reichow aka Drumcomplex, who recently contributed a remix to Man With No Shadow's EP for OFF Recordings. Drumcomplex makes a welcome return with his debut solo release of original music, where his back catalogue also includes contributions to Carl Cox's Intec, Traum, Bush, and his own Complexed Records. Track one “Eyesight” has a rolling groove with a mechanical percussion sequence made with military precision. Dark and pounding, vocal stabs washed in delay bounce round the mix creating an impression of vast open space, whilst the lead synths adds a tense sense of urgency to this techno stomper. The second track “Definition” opens with fast flowing hi-hats and the thud of the kick drum before introducing the menacing tones of the arpeggiated lead synth, which alongside the sinister vocals, gives the track a fearsome atmosphere. Not for the faint-hearted, this brutal cut of techno is a certified dancefloor smasher made for peak time club sets. Finishing the release is “Complex” which has epic synths that full of texture, paint pictures of dystopian landscapes. Understated and intelligent this is the deepest track on the EP, but anything it lacks in ferocity is compensated by its mysterious atmosphere and intricate production, which at times is almost cinematic.
