Hinz & Ruhmhardt come out of the gate full speed on their first EP with Doch. 
A grinding and relentless kick drum, hi-hat and snare combo that no doubt hypnotizes even the most relenting soul. Those merits alone can command a dance floor but, combined with a single organ line that is equal parts villainous, psychedelic, and beautiful while being perfectly constructed with a masters knowledge in the art of tension and suspense, they have conceived a magnum opus of grand proportions.
An aural field fusing the finest elements of both heaven and hell.

Hinz & Ruhmhardt - Doch

Fun projects need to be shared. In this case I like to give away my newest fun project - I did in my free time. Hashtag is a combination of five elements in one track. With the focus on a snare drum roll, a upward pitching part, a melody, a fat baseline and acid elements. Acid in that case means, crazy sounds in a groovy beat. Hope you like it - have fun.

We here at Second State are thrilled to bring you our new concept entitled HUB. While most labels these days are doing various artists releases to showcase the overall talent on their label, we thought it would be better suited for both our listeners and ourselves to break the mold and bring you a series of true collaborations. Each HUB release will feature a single artist teaming up with others from the Second State family to create an EP of authentic musical compromises. A place where multiple minds find a harmony somewhere outside their own identity and each collaboration conceives a genuinely unique artifact. With this, there is no one we would rather have kick off the series than the man behind the massive EPs; 'Throwl' and 'Doch', Stephan Hinz with HUB One!

Of course it would only be right to kick off the first track of the first HUB One way. An alliance with, Pan-Pot. "Tension' is a heavy number with just a few key elements, it's a slow lurking journey through a dark forest at night. As each bush and branch is pushed aside and every step inches closer to a destination unknown, the pressure builds. Soon, without knowing, you are in the depths of a jungle with no way back and only one decision. Keep going.

REKIDS081

With the original release marking Rekids return from hiatus, Radio Slave's The Clone Wars is now revisited with a trio of new interpretations from three distinctive talents on house & techno.

On the A side, Markus Suckut moulds the original into the kind of no-nonsense rolling techno jam that has personified his releases for Mosaic and Figure. The B side enlists two US talents in the shape of Parris Mitchell and DJ Spider, with the former bringing a glitchy take on the jacking Chicago house that Mitchell perfected in his timeless productions for Dance Mania, and the latter shaping the track into crunchy weirdo techno that sits perfectly alongside his output for The Trilogy Tapes and his own NY-based Plan B Recordings.

Pan-Pot - The Other Remixes [SNDST015]

1. Pan-Pot - Riot (Carl Cox Remix)
2. Pan-Pot - Fugitives (Joseph Capriati Remix)
3. Pan-Pot - Your Attention (Nicole Moudaber Remix)
4. Pan-Pot - Optimistic Grey (Extrawelt Dub)
5. Pan-Pot - Riot (Paul Ritch Remix)
6. Pan-Pot - Sleepless (Stephan Bodzin Remix)
7. Pan-Pot - 808 Nirvana (Ray Kajioka Remix)
8. Pan-Pot - Broken Engine (Wigbert Deeper Remix)
9. Pan-Pot - Punxsutawney (Alan Fitzpatrick Remix)
10. Pan-Pot - Get In (Kevin Knapp‛s ME First Remix)

As the dust finally begins to settle after the release of Pan-Pot's massive album 'The Other', it's time to unleash a collection of heavy hitting reworks from the best and brightest stars of todays techno elite. Through careful consideration and an acute attention to detail, we couldn't be more elated to confirm ten artists we know and love to contribute their unique vision to Second State's first ever remix package.

Kicking things off with a heavily twisted alteration of 'Attention' is Nicole Moudaber and it's a tangled, dark trek through dense acoustic layers of audible madness. Next up is the Hamburg duo

Extrawelt with their twist on 'Optimistic Grey' and they deliver a beautiful blend of emotion and groove they are synonymous for.

Following suit is another passionately romantic number from man of the hour, Stephan Bodzin, and his take feels like floating through a sea of clouds, resulting in a timeless classic to be a focal point in any set for years to come.

Next in line is Ray Kajioka's take on '808 Nirvana' and it's a cosmic ride, ripe with swirling atmospherics laid over big churning drums and rolling cymbals.

Following up on the second 12“ of this LP is a man who needs no introduction: Carl Cox. And in true Coxy fashion he turns 'Riot' into just that: a big room, tension building monster!

Broken Engine' is the next track to get worked over and Wigbert delivers a stunning mix of shimmering tones and growling bass resulting in a lush venture through a cosmic backdrop of flickering stars in deep space.

Joseph Capriati ensues with his vision of 'Fugitives' and he brilliantly keeps the vibe of the original yet adds his trademark big room flair to take it to another level of driving euphoria.

Enlisting the talents of Alan Fitzpatrick to remix one of the slower listening tracks on the album turned out to be magic. With his signature percussion, Fitzpatrick takes the parts and creates a dive deep into sultry smooth waters of seduction.

The first of our last two remixes, which are digital exclusives, come from Paul Ritch and he delivers a grinding rendition of 'Riot', expertly crafted for the more euphoric peak time occasions.

Last and certainly not least is a man on the rise, Kevin Knapp with his twist on his own collaboration with Pan-Pot: 'Get In'. An expertly crafted tech house jam exploding with energy and attitude perfect for any moment, day or night, indoors or out.

No matter the time or place, there is something here for everyone and we are truly fulfilled and honored to present this package of cutting edge artists to celebrate this landmark moment. We know you will enjoy!

@slv-berlin | Rises EP 
[SOMA480] 

1.	Connections
2.	Planetary
3.	Rises

After a successful debut year in 2016 on Soma, SLV kicks off 2017 in his suitably unique style with the Rises EP. The mysterious Berlin based producer has crafted a blazing 3 tracker that gracefully moves from hard hitting Deep Techno to more moving, melodic edged material. 

Connections gets things started at a fiery pace as SLV’s signature sub heavy, rolling percussion drives out atop a hollowed out vocal sample, aiming directly for peak time, dance floor action. Planetary goes a little deeper and hypnotic as yet more intense drums and crashing highs, combined with a mesmerising synth hook, end up in ferocious outcomes. Closing this latest release from SLV is Rises where he really takes things on a journey. Certainly things are at a slower pace than the previous two tracks but SLV makes up for that in emotive content. Beautifully crafted, delayed pianos are floated across driving beats and wisp-like hi hats. 

Another standout and individual creation for the, as yet, unidentified SLV.

Robert S (PT), known and loved from many releases on labels such as Sleaze, Planet Rhythm, Suara or ODD, joins the OFF Recordings team.

The title track is a chord-laden techno offering, both spacy, hypnotic and intense, suited for many phases of a set.

Blackmailer honors its title by taking things into a more tense direction with a sinister synth line.

Red Storms sits somewhat in the middle with its trippy bell-ish theme.

OFF Recordings head Andre Crom offers another edge to the EP, with a dubby remix of Derelict.

Another chapter gets added to the ever increasing roster of talent, that’s strongly shaping up the foundations of Pursuit.

On the heels of his debut EP, Dennis Apec is delivering once again a peak time monolith. A true euphoric smorgasbord of melodies and thunderous beats only he can deliver. Switching gears, Rob Hes welcomes the talented LAAT to Pursuit. After a slew of releases that the two released together, they are back once again to bring you Creepin. A melodic behemoth that is showcasing what happens when these two forces join in the studio.

Friends of the family Duss bring us another acid infused hypnotizer that is surely delivering the goods, whereas Berlanga also makes his return after his recent Sismo EP, to give us the excellent Tacana. 
And for closing duties we welcome new kids on the block 2088 and Comunica, both bringing us that dark brooding sound that we at Pursuit are all about. Please enjoy this collective of art and dedication.

1: The Reason Y - Amplify
2: The Reason Y - Dimensions
3: The Reason Y - Beautiful Bounce
4: The Reason Y - Without A Trace
5: The Reason Y - Dimensions (Joel Mull Remix)

It’s been too long since we last saw The Reason Y grace Second State with an original, but the wait is over as TRY returns with an absolutely stellar charge of four brand new burners and a banging remix by Joel Mull on his Dimensions EP.
‘Amplify’ kicks things off without wasting a single moment where an infectious swirl of resonant synthesis twists between chants of ‘amplify’, while intense percussion lays the solid groundwork for a wild ride into the flashing strobe lights. The title track ‘Dimensions’ follows with the same intensity yet displays a beautiful balance of hard and lush as shimmering sonics are delicately balanced with tough drums making for an unforgettable moment not soon forgotten. ‘Beautiful Bounce’ is next, and with a similar approach to the title track TRY weaves an intricate web of contrasting emotions with heavy drums and gorgeous harmonics before ‘Without A Trace’ wraps up the originals in high pace fashion utilizing all the elements of a massive rave anthem. As if that wasn’t enough, the legend Joel Mull steps up and delivers an immaculate reimagining of ‘Dimensions’ taking each element of the original and twisting it in a powerful and unique way only he can pull off. We couldn’t be happier to have TRY back into the fold. Now it’s time to transcend your dimensions of time and space.

Thomas Hoffknecht returns to OFF with his next EP, following up his last years' killer debut, and album on micro.fon and a remix for Spartaque on OFF just 2 weeks ago.

Hoffknecht has a great skill for combining memorable themes oozing character with killer grooves.

High Voltage feels like a grip into a power socket, the massive lead stabs will (re)-energize even the laziest clubber.

Short Circuit offers a hypnotic vocal-stab-combination, perfect for the earlier or later hours of the night.

Finally, „On' brings on a rumbling bass line and delayed vocal and synth stabs to create a trippy and dark groove monster.
