SNDST 040EP

Stephan Hinz is synonymous with cutting-edge, big room anthems and Juncture EP continues to attest to the consistency of his prowess. Hinz's kicks off with the self-titled "Juncture" as massive low end, crisp hats, and burly percussion lay the ground work for a delicate and hypnotizing lead. Changing themes but sticking to his trademark approach "Panopticon" lets the drums do the work -- heaving bursts of sonic gold explode through the percussive barrage creating an incredibly versatile tune. "Illusions" sees simple but highly effective drum programming carry flawlessly restrained harmonies resulting in a lavish trek into the emotionally-charged club moments.

Venom is Stephan Hinz's latest offering and it offers three incredibly massive tunes. "Venom" kicks off the EP with a devilish throbbing groove while mischievous organ stabs rise and fall, generating an impeccable balance between tough and playful. "Primal" follows up with a more devious style where relentless percussion and sinister synth stabs culminate into absolute debauchery. "Out Of It" shows Stephan twisting the track's elements into a grooving, up-beat tool with a contagious faction of ingredients that transform into a sublime trip suitable for a million situations.

Stephan Hinz is back on Second State Audio with an absolutely massive three-track EP titled Unsentimental . "Unsentimental" is Hinz at his finest -- full-on pedal-to-the-metal techno brimming with intensity and swirling atmospheres perfectly suited for flashing strobes and sweaty ceilings. On "Hypostasis," Hinz expertly combines the vibes of "Unsentimental" and "Cave" for a jam that could be blasted under the club lights or in open-air sunshine, with lucid brass bursts and relentless jolts of percussion. "Cave," a masterful blend of Hinz's signature big room techno with lush backdrops and hints of classic house, is a vast, dynamic club anthem.

Stephan Hinz is flying solo with his Throwl EP. These are two massive dancefloor tunes that will surely find their way into every room scenario for the foreseeable future. The title-track features a giant kick drum, rolling bass and crisp hi-hats, while a warm, distorted organ line relentlessly works into a crescendo it never fully reaches. Hinz goes peak-time psychedelic with "Ignite." A big kick drum and tight hat lock the groove while a single note and pulsing pad build the tension until the main element reveals itself as just a few notes stuck in a warm, dizzying loop.

AM 033EP

"Bacala" is a warped excursion into Stephan Hinz's deep and melancholic world, spurred on by a great theme melody, as if you found yourself in the middle of a medieval rave after a long and victorious battle! Tight percussion builds towards a dramatic break with layers of synthesized wonder. Adultnapper's remix is strong, with a tough drive and a slightly more freaked-out vibe. Hissing percussion works over a minimal groove and a haunting melody. Designed for the more freaky floors.
