(IBON’s Club Mix)

Press Info:
For our fourth instalment, Interstate welcomes Copenhagen’s Schacke. Rooted in punk and noise, the Danish artist grew into becoming one of the key figures of Copenhagen’s scene and inner part of Courtesy’s Ecotherm and newly found Kulør imprint.

On INS004, Schacke delivers three originals, exploring musical spheres that are both brutal and graceful. The opener “Cold Hands” kicks things off on a dark yet atmospheric note with driving percussions that make your body shake. “It Was All A Dream” is built around an irresistible synth line that is accompanied by angelic noises and winds. While this track blooms in its flow and drive, the short break shows what an exceptionally gifted producer Schacke is.

The flip-side features the title track “Met Her At The Herrensauna” which is the record’s most euphoric. Dazzling leads, shimmering synths and a somewhat otherworldy yowling loop drive this track which has all potential to create the special dancefloor moment one won’t forget. At last, IBON, another Copenhagen talent, delivers his take on “Met Her At The Herrensauna” by giving the original an even more clubby and trancy touch. The two combined make this 130bpm and upwards Copenhagen take-over complete!

Version
(Newa Remix)

Press Info:
For our third release, we are happy to welcome Dold. Throughout releases on Polegroup, MindTrip and his very own imprint Arsenik, the Swedish producer has shaped a distinctive sound – raw, minimalistic yet warm and energetic. For INS003 he delivers two tracks. While the title track, “Version”, demonstrates Dold’s darker side, “Rise And Fall” bears a more hopeful tone. Although the vibes are different, both tracks are driven by the same raw 909 – infused drums that have made Dold one of the hottest Swedish talents in the first place.

As in previous releases, the two originals are accompanied by two remixes on the B-side. The first one comes from Virgo and Soma Records protegé SLV. While focusing on the synth of the title track, smacking percussions and dark tribal sounds add a more punchy and energetic vibe to the original. Klockworks affiliate Newa, however, laid eyes on the pads and strings. Through carrying “Version” into slightly more playful and spheric worlds the Georgian delivers an ideal closing to this records.

Cypher
(Cadency’s Dramatic Science Remix)

B2.
Cypher
(Viers Remix)

Press Info:
After a more than well-received first release, Interstate Records is back with a shimmering and diverse EP. Featuring two original cuts by the label heads Dial Tone on the A-Side, plus two outstanding remixes on the flipside, the record serves as a fitting successor to the label´s thriving start.

On ‘Lucid’, the title track, Dial Tone show their distinctive skill to create an ongoing trip and let the listener immerse in its energetic melancholia. ‘Cypher’ kicks off on a slightly deeper note, however, only until a dazzling synthesizer line drills itself through the drums.

The B-Side contains two remixes of ‘Cypher’. Cadency (also known as Héctor Oaks) transforms the track into a fully equipped dance floor bomb. The chopped up, reverberated synth and the somewhat weirdly shivering percussions make the track stand out as a perfect example of Cadency’s signature sound.

The final track of the record is a dreamy cut by Figure affiliate Viers. After slightly more functional releases on Len Faki’s label, the man from Leeds shows his spherical and cinematic side – nailed it!

Press Info:
Interstate Records is a newborn independent record label based between London and Berlin. It´s run by the up-and-coming duo Dial Tone and aims to provide a vibrant and diverse platform for emerging and established artists within the Techno scene, whilst occasionally touching upon Ambient and other experimental music spheres. All records will be released on vinyl and digital.

As an introduction, the label has put together a release, comprised of some of the scene’s most promising artists. Stretching from heart-melting deepness to pure club- functionality, this V/A aims to highlight the different directions ahead, as the label continues to evolve.

Based in Berlin, Głós’ music has gained recognition for connecting ‘yesterday’ and ‘tomorrow’ without leaving ‘today’ aside. There couldn’t be a better start for Interstate. Hedrome is a German brother-duo who made some serious waves since launching their own imprint Blanksheet. ‘Hard Education’ forms their first appear-ance on an external label and clearly continues their mission. After a release on Emmanuel´s ARTS label, Dial Tone, from now on, take things into their own hands. ‘Edge’ and ‘Echoes’ can be seen as a foretaste of what is to come. Inhalt Der Nacht, also known as Escape To Mars, is a core member of the Modul Crew. With highly recognized releases on Vault Series and Dynamic Reflections, he is definitely on the rise. This can also be said about Mental Resonance. With releases on Pole Group or Dyad, the Argentinian is, without a doubt, one of the most interesting Techno exports from South America. ‘Equality’ shows his emotionally-subtle side and sets an ideal endpoint for this V/A.
