After nearly eight years since their euphoric debut long player ‘Panorama’, stratospheric goals have been achieved in the worlds of Tassilo Ippenberger and Thomas Benedix commonly known as Pan-Pot. Relationships bloomed and wilted, adventures were embraced, a label was conceived… All this whilst cultivating one of the heaviest and consistent tour schedules of any present-day artist. By no means was it due to lack of time or ideas that resulted in the distance between studio albums, but rather a carefully calculated unfolding of moments to conceive and construct their brand new, highly anticipated second studio album; ‘The Other’. Take a listen to album track 808 Nirvana via Soundcloud below.
Through all this, Pan-Pot have created a body of work that displays their growth as not only artists and individuals, but as a cohesive unit forged into one single, astute mind.
Over the span of fourteen tracks, the duo showcase not only their knowledge of sound craft, but their uniquely diverse scope spanning across genres and influences. While the album has an abundance of big room techno productions that the duo are synonymous for as heard in tracks like Pina, 12 and Get In feat. Kevin Knapp, it’s also intricately scattered with shimmers of sound spanning from experimental bass and leftfield to borderline pop and down-tempo. With cuts like Sleepless featuring L.O.U. from Abby and Riot with Berlin based singer Frankie, Tassilo Ippenberger and Thomas Benedix have exhibited a maturity that few artists can posses or accomplish no matter how arduous the attempt. ‘The Other’ is not merely another extended EP from a dance music artist, but a grand display of the duo’s sophistication, commitment and passion for the music they have so faithfully devoted themselves to.
