Fejká

‘Fejká’ is not just a word, but a concept - a melodic blend between soft, dreamy atmospheres and the punchy vibe of techno. Torn between those two worlds like a lone wanderer, he developed his own unique way to find a perfect balance between both. His music offers a very atmospheric and soulful sound, laying somewhere between melancholy and euphoria, resulting in a unique interpretation of emotions which is seldom heard on the dancefloor. Originally from the Black Forest in Germany, he began producing his first tracks at just 17. Influences such as Kiasmos, HVOB, and Christian Löffler, contributed significantly to his development and shaped his atmospheric, and yet punchy style, until he received a personal invite from none other than Christian Löffler himself to join his label, Ki Records. With the release of his EP ‘Twilight’, Fejka made an impressive debut into the world of electronic music and has already been celebrated as an insider tip in some circles. Having finished his studies in audiovisual media in 2019 in Stuttgart, he released his first studio album, ‘Reunion’, which only increased the surrounding excitement and quickly established him as a full-time artist in the scene. He showed his ability to create ethereal and dynamic sounds, architecting evocative tracks, which offer wondrous melodies and driving beats. After touring in numerous European countries until the end of 2019, Fejká returned to an intimate and very personal phase of music production in the following two years, leading to his highly anticipated second album ‘Hiraeth’, which will be out in Fall 2022.

Hidden Empire

Not your typical techno/house act, Branko and Niklas, alias Hidden Empire, have established a sound signature at once abstract and alluringly dynamic over the years, gathering momentum through a handful of quality releases for an array of international labels. Since the drop of their first records back in 2015, Branko and Niklas have been championing a sound both genuinely turned towards the club while allowing themselves to explore into further adventurous territories – from dreamy, cosmic excursions to a versatile arsenal of foundation-shaking EBM cuts, via exotic detours and back to the classic, floor-focused programming that flows through all of their ambitious, stadium-sized output. The pair’s wide-screen vision shows Branko and Niklas’ impeccable sense for crafting sonics that far surpass mere DJ functionality to print into the listener’s mind durably.

Pan-Pot

Tassilo and Thomas met at Berlin’s renowned SAE, and were drawn together as they were the only two in their studies who had their sights set on the sound of techno. Their initial musical efforts placed a primacy on integrating electronic experimentation with minimal stylings while simultaneously establishing the ominous, murky sounds that have since become synonymous with their name. The next few years saw the release of a steady stream of original tracks and remixes on both Mobilee and Einmaleins, each demonstrating the duo’s commitment to precise, undulating and kinetic grooves accompanied by a steady expansion of their sonic palate. The defining moment of Pan-Pot's career came in 2007 with the release of their debut artist album, Pan-O-Rama. The aptly named long player offered a 360-degree view of techno that was unique, uncompromised and most importantly, their own. The body of work perfectly balanced heavy, peak time club stormers to deeper, more intricate atmospherics and birthed the overground hit "Charly". More recently "Confronted" and "Captain My Captain" have demonstrated their classic, bold and timeless production style, presenting them as the producers at the top of their game, both sonically and conceptually. Pan-Pot hasn't gotten to where they are on their productions alone. When the two aren't spending countless hours in the studio remixing or creating original work, they are relentlessly touring. This is how they have truly gotten to where they are: by touching the writhing, euphoric, dancing seas of bodies at countless gigs every year. Not only do they have an electric vibe to watch, but their grasp and keen understanding of each and every dance floor is unparalleled. Whether it's an intimate club night or a massive festival like Awakenings, Timewarp, or Creamfields, Pan-Pot know exactly what to do. Unconstrained by boundaries, they traverse techno, house and everything in between with a masters touch. Although their name comes from a basic element of studio equipment, they have rewritten notions of form and function through their own idiosyncratic language and are now stepping completely into a new world with the launch of their own imprint, Second State. Second State is not only a platform for Pan-Pot to release their own music, they are creating a family of like minded artists around them to create, imagine and travel the world with, spreading the Second State vision. It's a place where all ideas can flow seamlessly. From music and events to art and fashion, it's a place where there is no ceiling. No limits to what can be achieved or dreamed. Now is the time they are truly coming into their own. Not only as world class artists and performers, but as tastemakers and masters of their own destiny.
