Our Global Mix series stops off in Scotland today, as we welcome the Pentland Park duo to the hot seat, with an hour of uplifting, yet moody electro, breaks and house club ready tracks. 

We first featured Glasgow DJs and producers Pentland Park back in November 2020, as we premiered their track titled 'Overcast', for La La' on her label, Brand New Records. The 4 track EP, which featured a KETTAMA remix got us thinking, "we have to get a mix from them", so here we are, a Global Mix from RJay & Kris, aka Pentland Park.

Pentland Park aka RJay & Kris are two best friends from Glasgow, who first met as resident DJ’s at the ‘Don’t Drop’ parties. Flash forward some years and the pair are now working together in the studio and on the decks. Taking much inspiration from their deep obsession with electronic music they are also trying to bring something different to the table with their productions & DJ sets.

For the next hour, stick the Pentland Park mix on and let it soundtrack your Thursday afternoon.

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.

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.

Frankfurt-based artist Wigbert has been an integral part of the electronic music scene since the early 2000s, launching his solo project ‘Wigbert’ in 2010. Renowned for his hypnotic and deep approach to techno, Wigbert has continuously refined his sound while remaining true to a raw, immersive aesthetic. His releases on acclaimed labels such as Sci+Tec and Second State have earned him international recognition and led to performances at iconic venues around the world – including Stereo (Montreal), Thuishaven (Amsterdam), The Grand Factory (Beirut), Goethebunker (Essen), City Hall (Barcelona), and the former Verboten (New York). 

In April 2025, Wigbert brought his signature sound to HÖR Berlin, one of the city’s most influential streaming platforms. Within Berlin’s vibrant club landscape, he has performed at renowned institutions such as Tresor, Sisyphos, Renate, and Anomalie, as well as former staples like Griessmühle, Ipse, and Watergate. His festival appearances include celebrated events like Feel Festival and Dockyard Festival during Amsterdam Dance Event. 

This year marks a pivotal moment in Wigbert’s journey with the launch of his own imprint, Achievement – a platform dedicated to his artistic vision: a deep, conscious connection to sound that embodies clarity, purpose, and emotional depth. The label’s first release will be Wigbert’s forthcoming full-length album, Momentum, offering a powerful reflection of his current creative direction. In this year, Wigbert also released a collaborative EP with Dave Wincent on DCLTD, presenting a powerful fusion of their distinct musical signatures.

Second State is the platform Pan-Pot calls home, acting as a label through which they can release tracks, host events, showcase fashion and present visual ideas to Techno lovers and dance-floor soldiers  from all over the world.
