Drumcomplex & Frank Sonic are joining forces for their upcoming single “Direct Dizko,” set for release on February 9th on Second State Audio. 

After Patrick Chardronnet's cover version of Jean-Michel Jarre's classic 'Oxygene Part II' Second State Audio revives another classic: “Direct Dizko” This is a masterful rework of the iconic track 'S.O. Project - Direct Dizko' a cornerstone in the techno genre that has left an indelible mark since its initial release in 1998. The original track, known for its electrifying melody and pulsating energy, was first introduced as part of Samuel Onervas' S.O. Project and has undergone various remixes over the years, including notable versions by Dub Foundation, T78, and Housequake. These adaptations have continually revived the track's spirit, showcasing its lasting influence in the techno scene. 

In their latest interpretation, Drumcomplex & Frank Sonic breathe new life into this classic. Retaining the original melody, they infuse it with a heightened sense of aggression and energy, delivering a sound that is both modern and meticulously crafted. The duo's version stands out with its stomping kick and groove, offering a fresh perspective on the beloved techno masterpiece.

Next in line is ascending talent [ Wex 10 ] who channels the Kuukou geist and delivers a forceful single powered by a battery of industrial-grade drums. As a DJ - [ Wex 10 ] has rubbed shoulders with the likes of Carl Cox, Amelie Lens and Adam Beyer and this shines through in the sequencing of his work as it unfolds with alacrity, kicking and punching in all the right places. A granite kick forms the foundation, laying out a stony bed for whetted, steel cymbals and otherworldly vocals that season the track with a welcome dash of psychedelia

Say What? is back with a release from young Italian producer Jacopo Susini, previously released on labels like On Edge Society and Complexed Records, who delivers us now 4 insane groovers that are made to burn the floor!

We start with 'Non-Stop' - a four-to-the-floor banger that invites you to a journey through the depths of pulsating beats, hypnotic rhythms and atmospheric vibes. A testament to Susini’s unparalleled creativity and his ability to create the perfect dancefloor gems to serve as a secret weapon in your music arsenal!

Next up is 'Dissident' that pulsates raw energy and creativity with the frenetic rhythms and old-school synth work, creating a sense of euphoria impossible to resist. As the layers of sound build and evolve, the track takes you on a ride of intensity, culminating in a cathartic release of pure techno energy.

Third track on the release is 'Something', which melodies intertwine with driving rhythms and a vocal that teleports you to a realm where anything is possible serving as a perfect addition to this mesmerising EP.

To finish the release off we have 'Different Way' the track that blurs the lines between the physical and the metaphysical, as rolling drums collide with the melodies creating a landscape that defies the conventional boundaries. With its hypnotic groove and textures the track is really a must for those crazy late nights.

Enjoy

A lifelong fascination with how human beings respond to sound inevitably led Spencer Hardwick to techno. After studying it for many years, the Portland DJ and producer now offers his own compelling interpretation of its artistic philosophy.

Experimental yet true to form, Spencer’s style of electronic music teases out a cerebral tangent between lush, progressive atmosphere layers and artful, atonal noise. Groove remains paramount throughout, however. This keen balance between what techno is and what it can be serves as a north star — not only for his output as a producer, but also for his record label and event banner, VAST.

It’s hard to put your finger on how Spencer fuses commonly disparate sonic elements to yield a whole greater than the sum of their parts. Perhaps that’s because it starts with something else, something far below the surface. Spencer is driven first and foremost by a desire to help build and push forward the community that has formed around this music. Pure intention will always shine through in art, no matter how it’s executed.

For a glimpse of techno’s future, look no further than Spencer Hardwick. After all these years, he still approaches his craft with the curious wonderment of a newcomer, unafraid to break the mold and start over fresh.
