Kevin Saunderson - Velocity Funk (Joe Brunnings Back To The Funk Remix)

With a well nourished upbringing in the Belfast house and techno scene, Chris Hanna has proved himself as
an artist that knows what works in a club. With a plethora of upfront underground releases on Made Fresh
Daily and Extended Play already under his belt, Chris is set to follow the wave of artists who have cut their
teeth on Ireland’s vibrant underground circuit to take on the world’s electronic scene.
As a DJ he has carved a style of his own with a longstanding residency at Shine Belfast, guest appearances at
both Twisted Pepper, Dublin and Glasgow’s now world renowned Sub Club, as well as regular slots across the
water. 2015 is set to be Chris Hanna's year of reckoning, with his first vinyl EP soon to be released on Ejeca's
Exploris records looking to transfer him from one to watch, to a household name.
The Psiren EP drops on Ejeca’s highly acclaimed Exploris imprint this April and is expected to send waves
across the Irish Sea to dance floors throughout the underground world. With deep melodic vibes and Chris’s
intricate production skills, Psiren sits on the darker side of techno and is set to become a record box staple for
the scene’s most hotly tipped artists.

🔥 LANÇAMENTO EXCLUSIVO!

Após um ano de pesquisa, dedicação e paixão, apresento a vocês este álbum que mergulha nas profundezas do Tribal House e do Deep House.

Cada faixa é uma jornada sonora, construída com identidade e alma para fazer o corpo vibrar e a mente flutuar.

Yeh - Fabyo Marquez

A track used by Maceo Plex in the intro at Tomorrowland 2015. Had a hard time finding it and eventually paid it at Beatport because it only had a short version. 

1.4 Tha Dam (Original Mix)- Mr. G

01 - The Secrets Of Meditation (shi - Take Anti - Fromage Club Mix)

Marco Faraone makes his debut on Josh Wink’s legendary Ovum Recordings with an original 4 track EP. Entitled ‘Raw Jamsessions 001’, the EP is the first of a new concept series intended for vinyl lovers and those who appreciate the analogue sound.

The entire EP was produced live, with Marco connecting his hardware, preparing the patterns and recording live to Tape, unedited. The result is four high quality dance floor tools, with a raw, dusty, old-school analogue edge. Whilst each track is untitled, they each have their own distinct feel; the first is a rolling journey of echoing synths and hefty drums, whilst the second is a long-player featuring a cascade of acid-tinged stabs. On the B-side ‘003’ makes for a laid-back yet gritty 6 minutes, whilst ‘004’ closes off the EP with layers of percussion over a thudding bassline. 

‘Raw Jamsessions 001’ cements Marco Faraone’s status as a truly talented and diverse producer.

B2: Clint Stewart & The Reason Y – Audabe Flares

Now that we are firmly underway into our second year, it's time to celebrate Second State's family vibes as we bring you the sophomore installment of our annual HUB release. This year we have Clint Stewart taking the helm and over the course of four collaborative tracks with The Reason Y, Michael Klein, Stephan Hinz and of course Pan-Pot, the American displays his prowess for creating powerful, emotive dance floor cuts.

Kicking things off in grand fashion, the EP starts with the alliance of Clint and the boss men Pan-Pot on a massive tune entitled "Zau!" featuring the insanely talented Portuguese percussionist, Peter Xoben, and the inimitable artist Luio Onassis who graced us with his signature artwork for this release. After a chance encounter in Berlin a year ago, Clint met up with Peter and Luio for an impromptu recording session that would later go on to become Zau! after Pan-Pot heard an early working session. With rapid fire blasts of Peter Xoben's drums laid over a captivating groove, the track grows with intensity as deep sonic blasts of low end rumbles and sharp rhythmic hooks engross the aural space.

Soon, wildly unforgettable bursts of neural jabs begin to play a game of call and response with the existing elements as lush, rising pads install a relentless tension of ecstatic proportions to absolutely demolish any dance floor scenario. Following up "Zau!" is Clint and Stephan Hinz who after last years hugely successful HUB collaboration "Shimmer" are back with another incredibly heady tune, aptly titled "Fall To Earth".

Spanning spaces somewhere between deep, euphoric and driving the guys deliver an exquisite "nail biter", testing patience only to deliver a huge pay off of lush strings, melodic bass lines and stirring melodies carried by a heaving groove perfect for those intimate moments.

Embarking into the second half of the release we see Clint team up with Michael Klein to drop what could be the heaviest and most psychedelic tune of the release. 'Artifacts' is a white knuckle ride from beginning to end. Fast paced, swirling arps, unrelenting percussive builds, malevolent jabs and truly hefty roars of bass set the stage for what can only be described as a 'Draconian' opus of epic breadth transcending time and space. Wrapping up the collaborative release is Clint's pairing with Berlin duo The Reason Y for an uplifting ride on 'Aubade Flares'.

Persistent and unyielding grooves lay the foundation as abrasive yet opulent tones partner with rich low end which continually grow before rising to a fever pitch. As the vitality gets to be almost unbearable, a wash of dreamy, intoxicated strings bring it all together into a grandiose symphony of gorgeous harmonics. As heard over the course of these four collaborative HUB tracks, the comradery of the Second State crew is organically becoming more and more solidified and that was always the plan, yet it has past all our original expectations, and we think you will agree.

We hope you enjoy Clint's interpretation of our unique HUB series.
