Steffi - Waking States Released in September, Steffi's World Of The Waking State was one of this year's surprise album highlights. Deeper and more detailed than the Berlin-based artist's previous work, it explored a murky sound somewhere between techno, IDM and electro, full of nimble rhythms and ambiguous moods. The six-week period spent producing the album was especially fertile for Steffi, a point the new Waking States white label hammers home

World Of The Waking State's percussion is nimble and precise. The 4/4 pulse central to Steffi hits like "Yours" and "Sadness" is gone, replaced by syncopated hi-hats and kick drums that move around the grid. These restless beats, which never stay the same for long, aren't drawn from familiar sources-909s, 808s, 707s-but from Steffi's cache of drum synthesisers, which adds to the album's alien sound. The Meaning Of Memory" is the album at its most melodic, not much more than zapping percussion, bleeps and few synth notes. The album is full of these ambiguous but powerful moments, where the mood, whether melancholic, hopeful or something else, belongs to the listener. These tracks bring to mind another crucial era: the early days of Ostgut Ton.

With Waking States, Steffi offers two exclusive tracks created in the same album session - and with a similar intricate rhythmic sensibility - as her recent World Of The Waking State album. The morphing, up-beat, 4/4 club-oriented vibe of 'Exit The Ego' on A stands in stark contrast to Side B's pad-heavy, atmospheric electro of 'The Big White Bang'.

Following on from her impressive third album, Steffi delivers a killer deep techno EP. The sound and mood on this two tracker are similar to the tone that prevailed on World Of The Waking State. Inspired by classic UK and US techno from the 90s, Exit the Ego is a high paced groove that resounds to insistent chord stabs, an upfront bass and even some vaguely menacing sirens. On The Big White Bang, the Panorama Bar resident opts for a more introspective approach. Following on from her impressive third album, Steffi delivers a killer deep techno EP.
