It’s back to the Norwegian woods with Mikkel Rev for Bassiani Podcast 259. Alongside Oprofessionel he moonlights as Omformer, and co-spearheads the Oslo-based UTE collective, famous for offering mystical forest raves, memorable club nights and their take-home recordings via digital/vinyl outlet UTE.REC (and sub-label Translusid). Trance is the main thrust, but an updated and savvy manifestation of it that’s more than suited to 2025, furnishing its breakneck rhythms with the experimental slant of its IDM and ambient forebears. It’s an elevated approach to a known genre, and perhaps at the bleeding edge of its future potential, keeping sound and woodland birthplace tethered crucial to its mission. As well as a number of EPs out on his homespun label, he’s apt to explore the fringes of his sound and export its singular voice across the map: intelligent trance with a strong emotional charge. This latest instalment keeps that promise with Mikkel on top form, an hour of cathartic beats recorded live at Bassiani: supernatural and stylish fare for sylvan nighttime gatherings.

Kicking off a stacked CENTER BOOTH Season 2 is the Porto-raised, Berlin-based Mauro Ventura, better known to techno fans as DJ Saliva. Founder of the long-running Porto queer-centered party series Arena Spa Superiora, Ventura is also a resident DJ and label manager at Herrensauna and an accomplished visual artist whose work spans painting, sculpture, installation and performance. He has played at world-leading venues and festivals including BASEMENT, Tresor, Nuits Sonores, Body Movements, Bassiani and RSO Berlin, sometimes B2Bing with crew mates such as CEM and Salome with electrifying results. We’re thrilled to have him grace CENTER BOOTH with this enigmatic, eclectic set brimming with energy and texture. 

Across 65 compelling minutes, DJ Saliva dips in and out of genres and styles including gothy, plangent techno, subterranean acid, wiggly tech-house, psychedelic IDM, and Carribean rhythms. The mixing is mostly fast, loose, and unsuspecting, whether he’s dropping dancehall into springy, electrifying techno, chasing Karenn’s gnarly “Crush The Mushrooms” with glowy braindance, or breaking up Latin percussion with ravey psytrance. There are moments of tension throughout, an admirable amount of risk-taking, and an experimental quality to the set that makes it feel as though DJ Saliva is taking the trip alongside you, guided by his fervent curiousity, and always landing somewhere slick (the electro-grunge Garbage closer is chef’s kiss). 

Lock in for a lively, daring journey from an artist unafraid to paint outside the lines.

Pan-Pot - The Other Remixes [SNDST015]

1. Pan-Pot - Riot (Carl Cox Remix)
2. Pan-Pot - Fugitives (Joseph Capriati Remix)
3. Pan-Pot - Your Attention (Nicole Moudaber Remix)
4. Pan-Pot - Optimistic Grey (Extrawelt Dub)
5. Pan-Pot - Riot (Paul Ritch Remix)
6. Pan-Pot - Sleepless (Stephan Bodzin Remix)
7. Pan-Pot - 808 Nirvana (Ray Kajioka Remix)
8. Pan-Pot - Broken Engine (Wigbert Deeper Remix)
9. Pan-Pot - Punxsutawney (Alan Fitzpatrick Remix)
10. Pan-Pot - Get In (Kevin Knapp‛s ME First Remix)

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!

VINYL PRE-ORDER

Pan-Pot - Sleepless (Stephan Bodzin Remix)

2015 saw Stephan Bodzin release his second full length, “Powers of Ten”, as well as a new single on DJ Tennis’ and Tale of Us’ taste making label Life and Death. The album is another magical piece of work that focuses on melody and rhythm, on fat bass and vivid sound design and is a truly captivating journey through the mind, music, body and soul of one of dance music’s truly modern greats. After its release, a great team of modern music makers was enlisted to remix tracks from it: Maceo Plex & Shall Ochin, Fur Coat, Extrawelt, long time musical sparring partner Marc Romboy, Pan-Pot, Max Cooper, Agents of Time, Dominik Eulberg and many more all contributed to what is an essential collection. With a remix of ‘Sleepless’, a Pan-Pot track from their latest album, Stephan Bodzin closed the latest chapter of 2015 in what has been an exhilarating musical journey in his capable and creative hands.

'Tantrum' is based on a single synth pattern that evolves by slightly changing it's relative start point. 
It's meant to evoke the feelings of a restless angry outburst.

The video, like the one for Trébucher, uses the cover artwork as the basis. The process is the same but the start point of the evolution is different.

'Simple rules lead to infinite complexity'
