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.

You can take the boy out of Somerset, but you can’t take Somerset out the boy.  West country DJ/producer, Will Clarke, has spent lockdown period on his home turf, miles from the Motor City of Detroit where he usually now resides.  And a creative patch has yielded a stellar single for Dense & Pika’s on-form Kneaded Pains label, with ‘Feel The Power’.

A rasping lead line and granite hard drums define ‘Feel The Power’, delivered at a relatively moderate pace, but with no less ferocity, as its devilish vocal refrain establishes a darker tint of this pure banger.  Accompanying track, ‘Mondays’, is equally as brazen, as police sirens and white noise flash past an infectious synth lick and gut wrenching kicks.

Will Clarke has had an industrious couple of years, launching his own All We Have Is Now imprint, alongside releases for labels such as Trick, We Are The Brave, Relief and Drumcode.
