A Curated Journey Through Contemporary Techno
Leading the release is Pan-Pot’s ‘Portals’, a driving, atmospheric cut defined by its off-kilter rhythms and sharp-edged textures. The momentum continues with Devid Dega’s ‘Don’t Stop’, while Nino Blink delivers the peak-time intensity of ‘Breathless’. The compilation concludes with ‘1209’, a deep and propulsive collaboration between Sudaca and Eme Kulhnek that highlights the label’s commitment to fostering emerging talent.
Founded by Tassilo Ippenberger and Thomas Benedix, Pan-Pot continues to evolve the Second State platform by bridging the gap between established industry veterans and rising voices. As the label’s first VA project of the year, ‘PLANET2’ provides a concise, powerful snapshot of its current creative direction.
