T in Techno

Party Work drops a standout release from Max Ches @maxches & Ira Ange @ira-ange — Good Staff — a hypnotic, groove-laden cut fusing deep rhythm, emotive synths, and ethereal vocals. The original is a slow-burning weapon built for late-night sets, offering a perfect blend of underground attitude and melodic depth.
Remix duties are handled by two rising forces: ECLEPT @eclept_ofc brings a raw, pulsating rework with minimal textures and deep warehouse energy, while Malkovich @eclept_ofc flips the track into a progressive-tinged journey full of lush atmospheres and rolling grooves. Good Staff is a dynamic 3-track pack ready to energize discerning dance floors — another quality release from the Party Work imprint.

A1: Pan-Pot vs. Motion Unit - My Mind (Radar Remix)
B1: Pan-Pot vs. Motion Unit - My Mind (Future Remix)
B2: Pan-Pot vs. Motion Unit - My Mind (Galactica Remix)

Two pioneering German techno duos come together in the latest release for Second State: Motion Unit’s “My Mind” from 1998, given the remix treatment by label bosses Pan-Pot and served three different ways. 

A big walloping kick, industrial crunch, guttural drones and an assortment of spacey synths over the top bring the “Radar Remix” slamming into the now. It’s densely layered, fast-moving, forever changing gears, and bound to blow the roof off virtual raves around the world this summer. The “Future Remix” is more pared back, percolating gently with breathy vocal effects, a slo-mo drone and squelchy acid lines creating a moody, after-hours vibe. Conjuring trippy scenes from outer space, the “Galactica Remix” closes the release out with an unpredictable patchwork of broken beats, snatches of robotic vocal samples and woozy pads, for less conventional dancefloor moments. 

The My Mind remix package offers three exceptional versions of a classic track that are respectful to the source material while refreshing it with the modern techniques and sounds that Pan-Pot are famous for.

A1: Reform - Close Encounters
A2: Reform - Stance
B1: Reform - Mind Control
B2: Reform - Horse Riding

Young Italian duo Reform return to Second State with their latest release, four tracks of innovative, hard-hitting and unusually sophisticated techno.

The throbbing kick and trippy synths of “Close Encounters” opens the EP, with a foreign, clipped vocal and breaksy jungle elements adding further interest and mystique. “Stance”, meanwhile, is a straight-up stomper packed with ricocheting percussion, rubbery synth blasts and disorienting pads, all crying to be heard in a club. “Mind Control” demands to rain down on a crowd at a festival, too. A lean, nimble build steadily escalates into an irresistible, shuffling beat boosted by shifting, bouncy synth patterns and an unrelenting forward momentum. The pair’s unusual knack for blending disparate elements into something atypical but completely danceable is perhaps best demonstrated on “Horse Riding”. The drums are tribal, the stabs are acid-like, there’s a gauzy filter laid over the top, and tickling hi-hats, but also an undeniable thump commanding bodies to move.

Put simply, this dream team from Tuscany are making music well beyond their years that stands up beside the work of veterans (and is often more interesting). We’re honored to have Reform back at Second State!

Atenea

Atenea (Original Mix)

Hot off the heels of their last Beatport Top 10 charting EP from Alt8
& Sara Landry, techno tastemakers T-Minus Records return with
another high-octane release. Spearheaded by Ireland-born
DJ/producer Luciid, MINUS003 arrives on October 5th featuring
remixes from Steve Shaden and Hush & Sleep.

The future-facing sounds of Luciid are ever-apparent in this latest
addition to his discography. Titled “Snitch”, his debut track for
T-Minus sets the tone from the get go. Bone-crunching kicks lead the
way before a sinister melody wraps around the drums in emphatic
fashion. An Intense combination of synths, breaks and snares spiral
almost out of control in the tension-filled breakdown, building
anticipation for the heavy kick to return with a vengeance.
Italy’s fast rising artist Steve Shaden brings his signature style to the
release, taking “Snitch” a shade darker and harder with a remix which sounds as if it was crafted in the underworld. The introduction of frenzying alarms and a pulsating synth add a dystopian lens to
Luciid’s original big room design.

Rounding off the release with an injection of energy and rhythm finds
the tempo at an all time high, as Hush & Sleep up the pace to an
eye-watering 142bpm. Letting the breaks pave the way in their
rave-ready rework switches up the vibe, before the low end bursts
into the track like a sprinting racehorse. Brooding synths, choppy
vocals and head-rattling percussion complete the provocative
soundscape.

1: Bleur & MB1 - Shock
2: Bleur & MB1 - Belfast
3: Bleur & MB1 - NL Industry

Hailing from Serres, Greece, young producers Bleur & MB1 have a fourteen year friendship behind them, and it’s obviously translated to a deep, easy chemistry in the studio. Following the inclusion of their belter single “Humans” on the last Second State SUM compilation, the duo now releases this stormy EP, pulling the listener into darker terrain. 

“Shock” does exactly that: jolts the listener into a hypnotic trance with a roof-raising combination of metallic, springy synths, a thwacking kick, and explosive FX. The mood is more restrained on “Belfast”, adding a layer of foreboding to the relatively spare opening passage, which eventually veers into trippy, spooky territory thanks to eerie pads and droney synth blurts. “NL Industry”, meanwhile, adds interest to grey low end with bleepy keys and engine revs that become gradually louder and sharper as the track progresses, culminating in a disorienting, thumping delirium. 

This EP cements their status as stars in the making. It’s an exciting sign of what’s to come from this dynamic duo.

Pan-Pot’s Second State delivers the next installment of their compilation series, welcoming fresh talent and label mainstays for a dynamic fusion of intensity, character and the thumping techno that the esteemed Berlin imprint is best-known for. 

Brazil’s @allanfeytor kicks off with twisted echoing melodies and mutated rotating sirens in ‘Portal’, immersing listeners into a lucid tunnel that characterizes the track’s name. @chrishirose and @thereasonyberlin, welcomed back to their mothership Second State, team up for ‘Guilty Bliss’ and deliver a shuddering beat with a kick that commands a groove throughout. Up next are Turkish producers @ferhatalbayrak and @kuvoka with ‘Tube Alloys’, where toms add another layer to the percussion on the track, before being complemented by chirping minor keys, while distorted claps and hi-hats join to inject a surge of energy. 

@frankyeffe presses on and gets straight to business with ‘Root’, a pummeling cut with rigorous kicks and a mesmeric vocal sample blended throughout. Fellow Italian @giovannicarozza provides the roller here with ‘Ambigramma’. Hi-hats and claps echoing in the distance are layered over a thundering kick-drum, building suspense before reverting back to play with our anticipation once again. Footwork’s head honcho @jay-lumen-official pays homage to his trademark heavy bassline and vocal samples in his contribution ‘Dust’, a rasping cut with a rebounding male vocal, that evolves into rave territory for its final ascent. @jurdeg proceeds with ‘Spandau’, a peak time chugging cut laced with an eerie demonic narrative for the lovers of the heavier kind of techno.

Warped keys and distorted kicks follow in @lucas-aguilera’s ‘Box Closed’, accompanied by chunky kick drums that punch through, and perfectly random synth notes which blend together with maximum effect. ‘RS01’ from Second State newcomer @patrick-milaa delivers us a more mainstage feel. Kick drums tremor throughout the track along with a synth lead that elicits a sinister atmosphere, while an acid line and bellowing horns keep listeners guessing. @richard-cleber showcases a stripped down cut with ‘Invasion’, a contemporary polished track that doesn’t compromise on the kick. Rounding off the 9th compilation of the label is Lithuania’s @djsamanta with ‘Hello’, leaving us with a flurry of spacey instrumentals amidst a trippy sliced up vocal sample.
