Second State’s latest release is a special one — the debut LP from talented German producer @wigbert. Stepping up for his first full-length, he demonstrates why he’s a firm favorite among so many. The Distorted Matter LP showcases his affinity for both atmospheric mood pieces and pummeling club cuts, the sign of a producer with more than one trick up his sleeve. 

“Uncertainty” opens the album in an ominous tone. As its name suggests, it creates a feeling of unease, even horror, as macabre drones blare underneath bleepy arpeggios. Later on the LP, on “Error 404”, this mood is revisited, with bleeps and static signifying that something has gone awry. The second track on the record, “Reflection” is its hardest hitting. Ice-cold stabs, a pumping kick and driving rhythms send the track into overdrive before creepy arps and drums come back in. It’s complex, layered and unrelenting. 

Night Vision” is threaded with warped off-kilter rhythms, while “Xcelerator” is charged with nervous energy, echo FX and prickling percussion. Other tracks on the LP share this latter mood, such as “Digital Mirroring”, with its windblown synths, distorted vox and broken beats, while the title track heralds a different variety of sounds. The beats on it are also chunky, but the airy pads place it in a more ethereal category. “Drone Level” is similarly lighter in spirit, with arps shimmering over the sound of running water.

The rest of the LP continues in this is more pensive vein, with the rhythms of “Focus” loping under twinkling, reverbed synths, before “Transformed” closes the album in a delicate melange of dreamy pads, chopped up beats, and sounds that mimic insects and nature.

Frankfurt-based artist Wigbert has been an integral part of the electronic music scene since the early 2000s, launching his solo project ‘Wigbert’ in 2010. Renowned for his hypnotic and deep approach to techno, Wigbert has continuously refined his sound while remaining true to a raw, immersive aesthetic. His releases on acclaimed labels such as Sci+Tec and Second State have earned him international recognition and led to performances at iconic venues around the world – including Stereo (Montreal), Thuishaven (Amsterdam), The Grand Factory (Beirut), Goethebunker (Essen), City Hall (Barcelona), and the former Verboten (New York). 

In April 2025, Wigbert brought his signature sound to HÖR Berlin, one of the city’s most influential streaming platforms. Within Berlin’s vibrant club landscape, he has performed at renowned institutions such as Tresor, Sisyphos, Renate, and Anomalie, as well as former staples like Griessmühle, Ipse, and Watergate. His festival appearances include celebrated events like Feel Festival and Dockyard Festival during Amsterdam Dance Event. 

This year marks a pivotal moment in Wigbert’s journey with the launch of his own imprint, Achievement – a platform dedicated to his artistic vision: a deep, conscious connection to sound that embodies clarity, purpose, and emotional depth. The label’s first release will be Wigbert’s forthcoming full-length album, Momentum, offering a powerful reflection of his current creative direction. In this year, Wigbert also released a collaborative EP with Dave Wincent on DCLTD, presenting a powerful fusion of their distinct musical signatures.
