Marking another upward step for a talent that is already growing by the day, Steve Shadens Twenty Seconds EP with Loose Records offers two new tracks and a remix by Brazilian power-house Fernanda Martins. With a stratospheric rise across the Beatports TOP100 Hard Techno Artists rankings and support from artists like Sasha Carassi, Adam Beyer, and Carl Cox, Shaden has seen his productions gain momentum across prominent labels. Martins brings her signature eclectic touch to the mix, spanning everything from pop and new wave to London tech and hard techno, as well as a love for the field that she shows through a trove of original tracks, remixes, and the management of Devotion Records and Audiocode Records. With Martins masterful spin on deck, this is a collection that speaks to essential sounds to catch in todays modern techno scene. Twenty Seconds - The title track blasts into high gear out of the gate, speedily taking flight through a range of effects that include the alien and the classic. An experiment is always risky, but the new and unusual experiments at work here provide no shortage of fuel for this classic in the making. Dialer - Boasting a rhythm that is sure all but flatten listeners everywhere, this track carries a rhythm that can only be described as enormous, beating from what can only be a gargantuan reservoir of energy that loses neither traction or power from beginning to end. Dialer (Fernanda Martins remix) - Soulful vibes play well with high-intensity drum work on this remix, while still managing to capture a flare for the eerie that pulls together, by way of a dominant beat game, a thoroughly danceable tech house experience here. Remixes rarely come so hot, and this is not one to be missed.
