Germany’s Rocko Garoni announces his next EP on Second State, featuring a remix from Black Lotus. Second State regular Rocko Garoni will drop his next EP on the label, “Blank EP”. The hard-hitting 4 tracker contains 3 original tracks with a fiery rolling rework from Berlin’s Black Lotus. Opening proceedings is ‘Blank’, complete with a booming kick and bright sharp synths that permeate through the flurry of percussive sounds. Hi hats and cymbals roll and rattle between each other as a heavy bassline draws out a more rounded feel for this cut. An ethereal male vocal narrates the track with an echoing tone that gradually drifts away, dwindling just out of earshot. ‘Blank’ is a determined opener with no let up that showcases that classic Second State sound. ‘Affinity’ follows, characterised by uniform claps, a bouncing kick drum, and a syncopated rhythm. Sonics crackle while rounded synths and percussion build the tempo, with percussion gradually increasing and dominating the soundscape. A breakdown is presented midway which is a stark contrast to the tempo that has already been set, jolting listeners into the present. A barrage of frenzied alarms soon takes over, while the ferocious kick punches its way back to the forefront of the track. Berlin native Black Lotus is up next with her rework of the opener, ‘Blank’. She smoothes and rounds out the original kick, alchemizing it to a steady pulse that smoothly rolls underneath shakers, claps, and sharp metallic elements. A devilish sample, full of heavy distortion, skips and ricochets around the melody in furious hypnotic chaos. A full-bodied bassline heaps on the energy and reinforces the rolling kick drum, adding weight and murkiness.

A choppy stabbing synth line duets a commanding male vocal sample that explains, “I am the one!”. A Lengthy, yearning baseline drones in the distance, bringing with it a subtle feeling of unrest. With a slight ravey mood, this energetic effort finishes on a high, commanding movement and exhilaration. Genre Techno
