Pan-Pot - The Other Remixes [SNDST015]

VINYL: bit.ly/1OehZwS
DIGITAL: btprt.dj/1Rk9Lp2

As the dust finally begins to settle after the release of Pan-Pot's massive album 'The Other', it's time to unleash a collection of heavy hitting reworks from the best and brightest stars of todays techno elite. Through careful consideration and an acute attention to detail, we couldn't be more elated to confirm ten artists we know and love to contribute their unique vision to Second State's first ever remix package.

Kicking things off with a heavily twisted alteration of 'Attention' is Nicole Moudaber and it's a tangled, dark trek through dense acoustic layers of audible madness. Next up is the Hamburg duo

Extrawelt with their twist on 'Optimistic Grey' and they deliver a beautiful blend of emotion and groove they are synonymous for.

Following suit is another passionately romantic number from man of the hour, Stephan Bodzin, and his take feels like floating through a sea of clouds, resulting in a timeless classic to be a focal point in any set for years to come.

Next in line is Ray Kajioka's take on '808 Nirvana' and it's a cosmic ride, ripe with swirling atmospherics laid over big churning drums and rolling cymbals.

Following up on the second 12“ of this LP is a man who needs no introduction: Carl Cox. And in true Coxy fashion he turns 'Riot' into just that: a big room, tension building monster!

Broken Engine' is the next track to get worked over and Wigbert delivers a stunning mix of shimmering tones and growling bass resulting in a lush venture through a cosmic backdrop of flickering stars in deep space.

Joseph Capriati ensues with his vision of 'Fugitives' and he brilliantly keeps the vibe of the original yet adds his trademark big room flair to take it to another level of driving euphoria.

Enlisting the talents of Alan Fitzpatrick to remix one of the slower listening tracks on the album turned out to be magic. With his signature percussion, Fitzpatrick takes the parts and creates a dive deep into sultry smooth waters of seduction.

The first of our last two remixes, which are digital exclusives, come from Paul Ritch and he delivers a grinding rendition of 'Riot', expertly crafted for the more euphoric peak time occasions.

Last and certainly not least is a man on the rise, Kevin Knapp with his twist on his own collaboration with Pan-Pot: 'Get In'. An expertly crafted tech house jam exploding with energy and attitude perfect for any moment, day or night, indoors or out.

No matter the time or place, there is something here for everyone and we are truly fulfilled and honored to present this package of cutting edge artists to celebrate this landmark moment. We know you will enjoy!

We're happy to release our second track on our exclusives series this time coming from Techno & Cans Dublin resident Tommy Holohan.

After releasing on Subsist records compilation 'Meatsteel 3/6' alongside names like Ritzi Lee and Yuuki Sakai Tommy seems to be finding his feet in the production world.

Four Four Premiere: Tommy Holohan - X-PAA 1

Lord of the Isles is a one-of-a-kind producer. Not only does he make the kind of music that leaves us scratching our heads and stroking our chins, he's also insatiably good. Inspired by the sounds and sights of his native Scotland, his soundscapes are a like an audio assault to the senses. Something we're very into. Borrowing from techno, ambient, acid and house sounds, "Skylark" is a flurry of grooves which defies definition, leaving Lord of the Isles very much in a league of his own. Expect a chaotic but still somehow melodic slammer, and you're on the right lines.

"Skylark" is released as part of the album In Waves. Out on 4th November from ESP Institute.

Techno two-piece Slam (Stuart McMillan & Orde Meikle) bring the new double vinyl album Machine Cut Noise to the forefront next month Stuart and Orde's day-to-day proceedings consist of maximum time spent on the road, in airports and hotels; which also forms the creative hub for their music-making. It's this transitory state that largely dominates the vibe on Machine Cut Noise.

With each of the album's eleven tracks handed its own unique energy, this concept is probably depicted most prevalently in "Psalm". There is a deep emotional core found within this programmed 7.5-minute piece. It conjures a direction that 'has been paved by the machines which surround us'. A technophile's voyage into the unknown we strongly recommend getting on board with.

Machine Cut Noise comes out on 28th October on Slam's own Soma Records.

Slam "Psalm" - Boiler Room Debuts

It's time for a new act to make their debut on Graded and Solitary Dancer is the Montreal producer you're going to want to make yourself acquainted with. The 'Desire & Apathy' EP has received a hefty amount of support across the board, with selectors like Ben UFO, Roman Flügel and Axel Boman drawing for it in their sets.

We present the title-track now as a premiere and if you're a fan of staggered, broken beat electro that's steeped in nostalgia then you're really going to dig this. Take a hint of Drexciya and Dopplereffekt and add in some serene synths and bellowing, low-end bass stabs and you've got Solitary Dancer's first ever offering.

Against a Dark Background – the full-length studio album from long-standing British
techno duo, Spektre – will be released in early 2020 on Pleasurekraft’s esteemed
Kraftek imprint.

Following their critically-acclaimed debut album Casting Shadows Without Light in
2010 and their sophomore outing Cyclic Operations in 2013, Against a Dark
Background will be the third studio long-player from partners Paul Maddox and Rich
Wakley, who have been producing together under the Spektre moniker since 2006.

Currently in the top five-selling techno artists worldwide and with over 500,000
streams per month on Spotify, Spektre have taken the electronic music world by
storm over the past few years, with their forward-thinking productions and high-
intensity live performances resonating with legions of loyal techno fans across all
corners of the globe.

Now key ambassadors for British dance music on a global level, Spektre’s chart-
topping productions have received high praise from the likes of Adam Beyer, Carl
Cox, Pleasurekraft and Alan Fitzpatrick and the duo are often hailed as one of the
most exciting acts to emerge onto the UK techno scene over the past decade.

Talking about the forthcoming album, Spektre commented:
It had been over 5 years since the release of "Cyclic Operations" when we first started 
work on the new album in earnest, so we wanted it to be a representation of how our
music has evolved in that intervening period. The writing process itself was a lot
more reductive than the previous two albums. We holed ourselves up for a few
months and hammered out loads and loads of ideas, then filtered and refined the
pool through playing them out and getting feedback from a few trusted pairs of ears,
until "Against a Dark Background" began to crystallize into its final form.

Spektre – Against a Dark Background will be released in early 2020 on Kraftek.

Alan Fitzpatrick returns to Radio Slave’s Rekids with the ‘Immortal Daydream’ in January.

Following 2020’s ‘Step Away’ on Rekids, as well as multiple releases on heavy-duty labels such as Drumcode, Hotflush, and of course his own We Are The Brave, Alan Fitzpatrick returns in full techno mode for his second appearance on the imprint in 2021 with an EP of crushing, hypnotic, and uncompromising techno.

Classic 909 kits and spacey reverberations take front and centre across the record, neatly displayed on lead track ‘Everlasting’, which kicks off proceedings by rumbling through a series of sizzling effects and dubbed-out chords. ‘Titan Silence’ follows with reserved synths built delicately around thunderous and attention- grabbing drums; a track built for dark cavernous rooms.

On the flip, ‘Droid Disco’ sees the Southampton powerhouse look to the twilight hours, as off-kilter synths wriggle and evolve throughout, leading into the closing track ‘The Underdog’, which sees Fitzpatrick delve further into the night, combining crunchy drums with soft, elegant synthesis to close off a memorable 12” on a quintessential label.

In late 2009, Gur Milstein started building unique musical instruments in his Hollywood California lab. As the market for his creations got larger and hotter other like minded people, who are equally unconventional in their thinking about audio, joined him. Fast forward six years, and today some of the world’s finest electronic musicians synthesize their sounds and form their creations with Tiptop Audio instruments.

Tiptop Audio Records is all about the love of the synthesizer. It is the brainchild of the designers who celebrate these tracks made by artists bold enough to master this new technology. This integration between the Tiptop Synthesizer machine and man highlights the symbiotic relationship between technology wizards and the best of electronic music composers.

Fire up the PA, drop the needle on the record and push the faders up: this party is about a journey on a sea of sound waves!
