_ENACT, Joran van Pol’s imprint, founded in 2021, brings you the third and last part of a techno trilogy, musically reflecting signs of the present time. 

‘Unforgivable’ is again, as can be expected from van Pol, a stark stripped down 132 bpm techno track. The title reflects the decisive and definitive nature of the music. 

‘Unforgivable’ is the last of the ‘Obsidian’ Trilogy. The trilogy is inspired by the dystopian nature of current world events. All three tracks have a sense of restlessness and urgency, reflecting a feeling of inevitability. 
The artwork is again made especially for this track by ‘dotting’ artist Srch_of.

The second part of the FORTE Remixes of Pan-Pot’s critically acclaimed collection of singles from 2023 is a sonic journey of reworks by four remarkable remixers: Reinier Zonneveld, Sama’ Abdulhadi, Ramon Tapia and Nojre, each reimagining Pan-Pot's iconic tracks with their unique flair.

Reinier Zonneveld's remix of "UTOPIA" immerses listeners in a fusion of classical finesse and relentless techno essence. Infusing the track with epic melodies and pounding warehouse beats, Zonneveld crafts a mesmerizing experience, presenting what he’s best known for. Mysterious lead intertwine with a gummy bassline, while a deep male vocal commands the break, culminating in a tension-filled drop. Following, Sama Abdulhadi's remix of "PROTO" pulses with a psytrance-like energy, showcasing her distinctive perspective as the first Palestinian DJ on the international stage. Playful rhythms merge with hypnotic basslines, accompanied by intriguing modulated vocals and dynamic rally car sounds. The third remix is by Ramon Tapia, who returned to Second State after his track on the prestigious SUM series, delving into the darker shadows of techno with his rework of "PROTO". Haunting lead melodies and deep male vocals resonate amidst siren wails and crunchy percussion, building tension before the explosive drop. Industrial- like percussions and a stomping kick drive the track create an immersive, atmospheric experience. Closing the chapter is Nojre's rework of "CORE“. The young producer, who recently had his debut EP on Second State, blurres the lines between techno and house, delivering a quintessential techno cut with melodic percussive basslines and dominant leads. The track's energetic groove and breaky interludes elevate the dancefloor experience, offering a joyful journey through sound

Pan-Pot proudly present the third and final part of the FORTE Remixes on their imprint Second State Audio, featuring reinterpretations by Planetary Assault Systems and Obscure Shape that showcase an innovative and mind-twisting approach to the German duo’s critically acclaimed singles from 2023.

The EP kicks off with Obscure Shape’s ‘CORE (Peak Remix)’, a tribal groovy 90’s inspired techno workout. The deep chord sequence from the original track forms the melodic theme, creating a colorful, epic and emotional atmosphere. With a big bassline supporting the groove, this track is a perfect closer for a sunset set, or to infuse some warmth, color, and energy into the dancefloor. Following this is Planetary Assault Systems’ ‘ARC (Rumble Jungle Remix)’, a seven-minute evolving trip into the sonic world of the genius of Luke Slater. This remix delivers an incredible reinterpretation with a forward-pushing groove, rolling rhythms, a hypnotic sequence and the iconic vocal loop from the original Pan-Pot track. High energy, tension, excitement and class make this a timeless techno gem.

On the flip side, Obscure Shape returns with ‘CORE (Reduced Remix)’, characterized by its captivating rolling top drum groove, stomping kick and incisive bass sequence. A plucked lead evolves throughout the track, while the original vocal sample repeating "paralyzed" adds variation. The EP concludes with Planetary Assault Systems’ ‘ARC (Stomp Maker Remix)’, a harder alternative version of the remix featuring a stompy kick groove, saturated and distorted percussions, and an evolving hypnotic percussive lead. The engaging and intense drum pattern, along with the iconic vocal loop and a bleepy sequence, catapults listeners into a new dimension of sonic depth.

“Blank Observer” by Leonard Sili — A Journey Through Evolving Techno Landscapes

“Blank Observer” by Leonard Sili is a meticulously crafted techno track that unfolds across nearly six minutes with a compelling and dynamic tension curve. From the first pulsing kick to the final echoes, the composition builds and releases energy in carefully measured waves, drawing the listener into a hypnotic audio experience.

The track opens with a minimal, atmospheric intro—anchored by deep, resonant bass and subtle percussive textures. These early moments establish a sense of space and anticipation. As the first minute progresses, tightly synced hi-hats and filtered synth layers begin to emerge, driving momentum forward without overwhelming the mix. Around the two-minute mark, the amplitude begins to climb steadily, signaling a gradual but deliberate build-up.

Midway through the track, Leonard Sili introduces layered melodic fragments and evolving rhythmic patterns that shift the energy into a peak zone. The central drop, arriving just after the halfway point, marks the track’s emotional high—merging thick, rolling basslines with intricate high-frequency modulation. This section exemplifies tension-and-release in techno, with dynamic amplitude peaks reaching their highest levels (~7000–8000 RMS) while preserving clarity.

The final third of “Blank Observer” sees a smooth deconstruction of layers. The track cleverly withdraws key elements, allowing space for atmospheric echoes and ghostly reverb tails to take prominence. This return to minimalism creates a reflective, almost cinematic closure—leaving the listener suspended in the sonic afterglow.
