The four-track release marks the label’s first VA transmission of 2026, delivering what the duo describes as “a tightly coordinated burst of raw, club-focused energy with a distinctly cosmic edge.” The compilation brings together established and rising talent for maximum dancefloor impact.

Pan-Pot leads the charge with ‘Portals‘, a fierce cut built around off-kilter rhythms and jagged sonics that pushes the dancefloor into unpredictable territory. The track showcases the duo’s continued evolution of their signature sound that has made them fixtures in the global techno scene.

Devid Dega contributes ‘Don’t Stop‘, channeling decades of techno dedication into a relentless, driving production. The producer brings serious pedigree to the compilation, with releases on respected labels including MB Elektronics, Tronic, and Alchemy, plus support from heavy-hitters like Adam Beyer, Richie Hawtin, and Maceo Plex.

Nino Blink delivers ‘Breathless‘, a rolling peak-time cut packed with early-hours energy. His productions have earned support from names like Richie Hawtin and Pan-Pot themselves, resonating across key venues including Fabric, Sonar, and Awakenings festivals.

Closing out the release, Sudaca teams up with Argentina’s Eme Kulhnek on ‘1209‘, a deep, propulsive track that reflects Kulhnek’s impressive catalog. The producer has released on Plus 8, Senso Sounds, and Second State, maintaining ongoing support from Richie Hawtin.

Formed by Tassilo Ippenberger and Thomas Benedix, Pan-Pot continues to shape the global techno landscape through Second State, consistently pushing a sound that remains raw, forward-thinking, and built for the floor. The label has become a cornerstone of the Berlin techno scene since its founding.

The compilation is available now across all major streaming platforms.

The duo has transformed the original into what they describe as a “hypnotic, tide-like groove driven by low-end pressure, crisp percussion, and a sense of constant motion.” True to Pan-Pot’s signature style, the remix builds subtly before becoming all-consuming, designed for full dancefloor immersion.

The release continues the expansion of HUMAN, Pan-Pot’s evolving platform that functions as both a label and global event series. Since launching this new chapter in their career, HUMAN has channeled raw techno energy into something more emotional and deeply connected, prioritizing feeling over fleeting trends.

Speaking about the remix creation, Pan-Pot shared an elaborate backstory for the track: “Late one night, somewhere between a drifting cargo signal and a forgotten island rave, Pan-Pot and State of House reportedly intercepted a rhythm echoing across the Pacific Ocean. No source. No coordinates. Just a pulse moving steadily beneath the surface, like the ocean itself had learned how to dance.”

They continued: “Drawn to it, they followed the signal. What they found was not a location, but a phenomenon. Low frequencies rolling like tides. Percussion hitting like distant storms. A groove so hypnotic it reportedly altered the direction of at least one shipping route and caused a small group of dolphins to synchronize perfectly on the drop.”

The HUMAN event series expanded significantly last year, hosting showcases in Berlin, New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and the Netherlands, alongside the official Street Parade afterparty in Zurich. This summer, Pan-Pot will continue their international run across major cities and festivals.

Their upcoming tour schedule includes stops at Paris (Kilomètre25) on April 25th, followed by their HUMAN Mayday all-day event at Cassiopeia in Berlin on May 1st. The duo will then hit INPUT in Barcelona on May 2nd before heading to Drumcode Mallorca on May 8th.

Festival appearances are lined up for BAUM Festival 2026 on May 22nd, Forbidden Forest Festival in the UK on June 4th, Chocolate Festival in Switzerland on June 5th, and 909 Festival in Amsterdam on June 6th.

‘Pacific Dance’ represents Pan-Pot’s continued evolution through their HUMAN platform, delivering precise, powerful productions that remain unmistakably their own. The track is available now across all streaming platforms.

Arcane Records has firmly established itself as a defining imprint within today’s techno landscape, recognised for its powerful, high-impact club sound. Created by Eli Brown as a platform for established and emerging artists to push the genre forward, the label now stands out as one of the world’s best-selling techno labels, continuing to shape the scene through its music, events, and a thriving global community. For the celebratory 100th release ‘Coming In Heavy’, techno titans Eli Brown and Pan-Pot come together, both respected and accomplished in their own lane. Two sonic worlds colliding, underscoring the label’s commitment to championing cutting-edge techno. 

At its core lies a catchy, commanding vocal that grabs you by the neck and locks you in at full force. It’s the kind of hook that mentally teleports you to an energy-fueled London nightclub, uniting dancers in a shared pulse as the track rolls forward with unstoppable energy. The hypnotic drop transforms the atmosphere, inducing a trance of raw, sweaty euphoric 8 am vibes that is felt in the timeless clubs of Berlin. 

Pan-Pot are legends, artists I’ve always loved and respected. It’s been great working with them on Coming in Heavy. The track really feels like two sonic worlds colliding, and the result is a perfect blend of our roots. It’s a collab that has been long overdue

-ELI BROWN

With ‘Coming In Heavy,’ Eli Brown and Pan-Pot deliver a statement track: powerful, infectious, and unapologetically built for the dancefloor.

We had a lot of fun working on the stems Eli Brown sent over. There was so much energy in them right away – ideas started flowing immediately. Since we’re good friends with Eli, it made the process even more special. We tested the track many times and the reactions were always great

Like many others, the iconic techno festival – held each year in the Netherlands and other countries around the globe – was cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic. However, this did not stop the organizers of the fest, who chose to proceed with the event virtually. They previously announced that they’re going digital rather than holding an in-person live event.

The event took place on Friday, June 26 to Sunday 28 and featured some of the best artists of the underground scene. It was a unique online festival experience with live sets from a virtual version of the Gashouder.
