Hypnotized (Joyhauser remix) - (6:41)
131 BPM Review: Amelie Lens' first break through releases were on Second State, and now she returns to Pan-Pot's label. As befits one of the world's most popular techno artists, this is a heads-down release designed for big room usage. The title track resounds to rough rave stabs and vocal snatches that are played out over a tough, driving rhythm, while on "Access", she opts for an even more streamlined approach; the central rhythm is sleek and relentless, while subtle filters and a dystopian electronic riff guide the arrangement to a heady climax. Joyhauser's version of "Hypnotized" is more epic thanks to its atmospheric, filtered synths, and completes this excellent peak-time package.
