Behind the Techno (Peak Time / Driving) : Release Notes
Berlin techno heavyweights Pan-Pot return with ‘Hornet’, a full-throttle collaboration with rising techno force Chloe Martinez, out now on their own imprint HUMAN.nnTrue to its name, ‘Hornet’ drives with a relentless pulse, a track built for full-throttle moments as the season turns from summer haze into club season. Pan-Pot and Chloe Martinez lock into a shared frequency, capitalising the raw drive of peak-time techno into an intricate production.nnThe single arrives as Pan-Pot prepares for their anticipated return to ADE, bringing the 50:HERTZ CLUB TRAIN back for a second outing on 24th October. This time it’s a special all-day edition dedicated entirely to HUMAN, the duo’s own platform and creative outlet, with a lineup featuring collaborator Chloe Martinez alongside Audio State, Kaufmann, and Lalena. The daytime event will then follow into a HUMAN label takeover, with the duo performing an all-night-long set at Het Sieraad into the early hours.nnComposed of Tassilo Ippenberger and Thomas Benedix, Pan-Pot have spent the past years shaping global dancefloors while expanding their creative universe through SECOND STATE and HUMAN, platforms that exist as both defining labels and event series. With events across Europe and North America and a relentless run of releases, their sound continues to evolve while staying rooted in physical, emotional club experiences.nnJoining them on ‘Hornet’ is Chloe Martinez, a bold, dynamic, and intense Techno DJ. Since her debut on the French Riviera in 2007, she has shaped a constantly evolving musical universe, establishing herself as a rising figure on the Techno scene, navigating between Melodic, Peak Time, Minimal, and House sounds. Driven by raw energy and a strong artistic sensibility, she first made a name for herself on the Cote d’Azur before expanding internationally, performing in Russia, Spain, the Netherlands, Italy, and iconic clubs across France, and sharing stages with artists including Mark Reeve, DJ Hell, Jay Lumen, Nakadia, DJ Snake, Marcus Meinhardt, Nastia, Michelle Manetti, and BOHO.nnLaunched as an ongoing chapter in Pan-Pot’s evolution, HUMAN and SECOND STATE bridge raw techno energy with something deeper: platforms built around connection, long-form musical journeys, and the belief that the dancefloor still matters.nnWith ‘Hornet’, Pan-Pot and Chloe Martinez bring that vision into sharp, buzzing focus.n
