Second State’s latest release is a special one — the debut LP from talented German producer @wigbert. Stepping up for his first full-length, he demonstrates why he’s a firm favorite among so many. The Distorted Matter LP showcases his affinity for both atmospheric mood pieces and pummeling club cuts, the sign of a producer with more than one trick up his sleeve. 

“Uncertainty” opens the album in an ominous tone. As its name suggests, it creates a feeling of unease, even horror, as macabre drones blare underneath bleepy arpeggios. Later on the LP, on “Error 404”, this mood is revisited, with bleeps and static signifying that something has gone awry. The second track on the record, “Reflection” is its hardest hitting. Ice-cold stabs, a pumping kick and driving rhythms send the track into overdrive before creepy arps and drums come back in. It’s complex, layered and unrelenting. 

Night Vision” is threaded with warped off-kilter rhythms, while “Xcelerator” is charged with nervous energy, echo FX and prickling percussion. Other tracks on the LP share this latter mood, such as “Digital Mirroring”, with its windblown synths, distorted vox and broken beats, while the title track heralds a different variety of sounds. The beats on it are also chunky, but the airy pads place it in a more ethereal category. “Drone Level” is similarly lighter in spirit, with arps shimmering over the sound of running water.

The rest of the LP continues in this is more pensive vein, with the rhythms of “Focus” loping under twinkling, reverbed synths, before “Transformed” closes the album in a delicate melange of dreamy pads, chopped up beats, and sounds that mimic insects and nature.

With this new release by Wallis, Mia Mao Records continues to assert its identity: a platform dedicated to demanding, textured, and uncompromising techno that highlights visionary artists.

This vinyl perfectly embodies that philosophy : a project that’s raw, hypnotic, and deeply personal, mirroring the singular universe of Wallis.

In recent years, Wallis has established herself as one of the leading figures of a new generation of producers and DJs.

French-born and based in Lisbon, she has developed a sound entirely her own - characterized by sonic exploration, abrasive textures, and unpredictable structures.

Through her productions, Wallis delivers a form of techno that is emotional, intense, and forward-thinking — navigating mental and organic territories with a deeply human touch.

Her style stands out for its sharp percussive power, restless basslines, and rare emotional energy in today’s scene.

She’s now recognized for her releases on cutting-edge labels, her powerful live performances, and her constant drive to push the boundaries of the genre.

In an electronic landscape where female producers still struggle to find the place they deserve, many get lost in the expectations of style, performance, or visibility.

Wallis refuses to conform.

By staying true to a raw, radical, and sensitive form of expression, she represents a new generation of artists reshaping the scene — not through rhetoric, but through sound.

This four-track vinyl marks a new milestone in Wallis’s artistic journey.
Each track unfolds as a sonic exploration — between razor-sharp rhythms, acidic layers, and mental pulsations.

 The record blends rhythmic precision with dramatic tension, oscillating between introspection and cathartic release.

This release reflects Mia Mao Records’ ongoing vision: to champion artists who push the limits of traditional techno — crafting music that is not only heard, but felt.

Today we premiere yet another brilliant track, today coming from young Dublin based DJ and produce, Mathew Day aka Taking Names.

Like most weeks we got sent a ton of new music and Mathew Day aka Taking Names was a name we were not familiar with, but certainly are now.

From his early days of playing piano and discovering the likes of Kraftwerk, The Sisters of Mercy and Depeche Mode through his father's record collection, his passion for electronic music began.

After a few back and forth emails, Matthew spoke passionately about how his taste in music evolved to encompass electronic sounds from across the spectrum of electro, house, techno and bass music. Inspired by the wealth of talent in Ireland and abroad, his influences include Desert Sound Colony, Pepe, 96 Back and Long Island Sound to name a few.

Last year saw Matthew's first release on the Birmingham label Fly By Night Recordings, an ethereal electro number to compliment a time where floating through space might be preferable. This year Matthew plans to expand his musical horizons in new directions with a back catalogue of unreleased tracks that grows week upon week as the lockdown continues,  today culminating in his self released EP called Deep Blue, which also features a remix from The Droid, who we are fans of.

Taking Names.
