OPIA sister label Euphoric State steps up this autumn with more unearthed gems from the 90s, this time at the controls is Skat aka Andy Panayi & Alec Stone, Skat being their name before they took on what became their acclaimed A2 moniker in 94. The “Skatmode” EP spans across innovative strains of house and electro, packed with energy and charming emotions.

On the A side you can find two slabs of reissued heat from the versatile duo, packing more of a punch than ever. Cruising on an irresistible house groove is “Is Dis Love”, tight drum work and elastic bass lines teased by the nostalgic vocal. “Dinowarp” is a pure example of a hazy deep house chugger for the early hours of the morning, taking you on a trip of blissful synths and melt in your mind textures.

Taking up the B side are two unreleased diamonds from the vast archives of the UK duo, “Jamaica” and “Jump Around”. The first being a playful and animated outing, classy house dynamics driving the dance floor up a notch. “Jump Around” maintains the depth and emotion but at the heart lays a pulsating sub heavy bass to keep you on the move, conversing with the pacey and crisp drum patterns within.

Euphoric State continues to propel dusted off beats for the dance floors of modern day!

Technorama records is very happy to bring you this superb second release by Sawlin (Vault Series, Ann Aimée) and an additional remix by MRSK from Sweden (Rush Hour, Skudge, Sushitech). After the succes of their first single 'Intolerance' Ep by Skat with remixes from Jonas Kopp & Norman Nodge, Technorama continue on the right track with this brand new release. After his brilliant 'Techno Dumping' Ep on Ann Aimée (Delsin's sub label) with support from the likes of Sven Väth, Marcel Dettmann, Jonas Kopp and Ame/Dixon, Sawlin makes his début on Technorama with a sublime darker track. 'Restless' is a masterpiece of energetic dark techno, nearly eight minutes of composition which can’t help but remind us of the first productions of Green Velvet ,).
After his excellent remix of Anthony ‘shake’ Shakir and his record ‘Black Keith/Close To Me’ on Rush Hour, along with his more recent collaborations on Skudge Records or Sushitech, MRSK signs here for us a masterful hard house remix which contrasts perfectly with the original mix. Enjoy !.
