by Second State welcomes a powerful new reinterpretation of Pan-Pot’s ‘Funke’, courtesy of rapidly rising techno talent Audio State, landing 15th May. Injecting fresh intensity into the already formidable original, the Romanian-born producer delivers a driving, peak-time remix that bridges hypnotic depth with raw, modern energy.
Originally part of Pan-Pot’s celebrated ‘Funke’ EP, the track stands as a defining example of the duo’s ability to balance stripped-back structure with commanding sonic force. Audio State’s rework is designed for peak-time impact: immersive and relentlessly focused, while still preserving the hypnotic essence of the original. It’s a bold yet respectful transformation that reinforces the track’s enduring relevance on contemporary dancefloors.
Romanian-born DJ and producer Audio State continues to establish himself as one of techno’s most compelling emerging names. Despite only a few years on the circuit, he has already built an impressive catalogue across influential imprints including Second State, JAM, Terminal M, Elevate Records, and Unrilis. Known for his adaptable approach, his sound spans melodic-driven, peak-time techno and darker, more hypnotic cuts showcasing a versatility that reflects both technical precision and creative depth.
Having first found success within the tech-house sphere under previous aliases, Audio State has since evolved toward a harder, faster, and more underground-focused sonic identity. This progression is evident in his remix of ‘Funke’, where refined production meets uncompromising energy, marking another step in his ascent within the global techno landscape.
With this release, Second State once again underscores its commitment to forward-thinking techno, pairing established legacy with emerging talent to push the genre into new territory.
‘Funke (Audio State Remix)’ stands as a powerful reintroduction to a modern classic – reengineered for today’s dancefloor, and built to last.
