Second State will drop its next various artists' compilation this summer featuring 12 artists from today’s techno scene, showcasing their individual sound and production skills. The 11 tracks each incorporate elements from techno sub-genres to create a varied and intoxicating release from the Berlin imprint, welcoming Second State regulars and new names alike to continue paving the way for the label’s sound. 

Returning to Second State is Yotam Avni, who opens the record with the dynamically layered ‘Panic’. The breakdowns of this track switch up during its flow, varying in intensity as it progresses. Valentinø and My Flower hasten the pace with ‘Lightfire’, packed with minimal drumwork, booming bass and phased bursts of ethereal keys. Up next is Simon Stiglmeier with a piece of kaleidoscopic techno in ‘Dancy’, complete with a grooving vocal synth. SOTO follows with enveloping bass and rippling synth waves in ‘Core’, whilst Techno live band Komfortrauschen power on with a warbling bassline and whirring atmospherics with ‘Each Second’. 

‘Subconscious Reset’ from Juliet Fox contributes a barrage of alarms and sharp, chilling synths that echo menacingly throughout, followed by Isabel Soto with pulsating cut ‘Momentum’ - a stripped back, down-tempo roller. Gutto Serta takes listeners down a rabbit hole with trippy cut ‘Maximize’, with airy pads whispering underneath bleeps and a sultry vocal sample. Building the record to crescendo is Dextro’s booming and raucous track ‘Omonoia’, with razor sharp hoover sounds and an earth-shattering kick & hi-hat combo. Maintaining the powerful energy is Daryl Stay with his propulsive weapon ‘Phalanx’, followed by the final track from Avision, ‘Tunnel’, featuring playful synth and acid lines that bounce over the phased percussion, and a shift in pitch to build the track’s intensity.

Already at early age Simon, born in 1994, hosted small illegal parties in his bavarian hometown. Still, at the beginning everything from Rock through to Hip Hop was played. 
But the type of music he would eventually fall in love with only crystalized itself later on. On his first Festival as a visitor it took him no to the main stage, but to the smaller stages where acts such as Henry Saiz or Christian Valera dominated. 
In time, Simon started to hosts his own raves and produce songs. At the end of 2013 his first big success arrived: He was allowed to play at the scene club Hetten, which is famous for first-class techno parties. A couple of months later, he proved his talent at the Grüne Sonne Festival, where the audience was dancing to his beats. In the year 2015, he quit his job in the automobile industry, after which he decided to go to Australia. Ever since, Simon also sonicated people at small raves on the red continent. 
The highlight: A performance on the Wonky Queenslander floor at the world famous Earth Frequency Festival in 2016. After 2 Years in Down Under Simon moved to Berlin, and his main focus is more into Producing Music...




IN DEUTSCH

Schon im frühen Jugendalter veranstaltete Simon, geboren am 29. März 1994, kleine illegale Partys in seinem oberbayrischen Heimatdorf. 
Gespielt wurde anfangs noch alles, von deutschem Rock bis Hip Hop. 
Doch in welche Art von Musik sich er verlieben würde, stellte sich erst später heraus.

Auf seinem ersten Festival verschlug es ihn als Besucher nicht an die kommerzielle Mainstage, sondern an die kleinen Bühnen, bei denen Künstler wie Henry Saiz oder Christian Valera die Taktgeber waren.
Mit der Zeit fing er an eigene Raves zu veranstalten und Tracks zu produzieren. 

Ende 2013 dann der erste große Erfolg: Er durfte im Szene Club Hetten auflegen, der bekannt für Technopartys der Extraklasse ist. Wenige Monate darauf zeigte er sein Können auf dem Grüne Sonne Festival und lies das Publikum zu seinen Beats tanzen.
2015 kündigte er seinen Job in der Automobilindustrie, denn ihn verschlug es nach Australien. Simon beschallt seitdem bei kleinen Raves die tanzenden Mengen auch auf dem roten Kontinent. 
Das Highlight jedoch: Ein Auftritt auf dem Wonky Queenslander Floor auf dem Welt bekannten Earth Frequency Festival 2016
based in Berlin
