Pan-Pot

On Friday, September 18th, Somewhere Nowhere NYC presents Pan-Pot with Tucci.

About Pan-Pot:

It can be the similarities between two people that draw them together, but it‘s

the differences between them that create something special. It would be

nothing if those two polar opposites failed to meet in the middle. Such

is the story of Pan-Pot.

Tassilo and Thomas met at Berlin’s renowned School of Audio

Engineering, better known as the SAE Institute, and were drawn together

as they were the only two in their studies who had their sights set on

the sound of techno. Their initial musical efforts placed a primacy on

integrating electronic experimentation with minimal stylings while

simultaneously establishing the ominous, murky sounds that have since

become synonymous with their name.

The defining moment of Pan-Pot‘s career came in 2007 with the release

of their debut artist album, Pan-O-Rama. The aptly named long player

offered a 360-degree view of techno that was unique, uncompromised and

most importantly, their own. The body of work perfectly balanced heavy,

peak time club stormers to deeper, more intricate atmospherics and

birthed the overground hit „Charly“. More recently „Confronted“ and

„Captain My Captain“ have demonstrated their classic, bold and timeless

production style, presenting them as the producers at the top of their

game, both sonically and conceptually.

Pan-Pot haven’t gotten to where they are on their previous accolades

alone, the duo have lent their craft recently in the form of a second

album „The Other“ and high profile remixes for the likes of the

legendary Carl Cox, Slam, Paul Kalkbrenner and the renowned Stephan

Bodzin, all while touting a ferocious touring schedule appearing

regularly at the best clubs and largest festivals in the world like Time

Warp, Awakenings, Glastonbury, Kappa Future and

Tomorrowland to name a few. The relentless touring is how they have

truly gotten to where they are: by touching the writhing, euphoric,

dancing seas of bodies at countless gigs every year. Not only do they

have an electric vibe to watch, but their grasp and keen understanding

of each and every dance floor is unparalleled. Whether it‘s an intimate

club night or a massive festival, Pan-Pot know exactly what to do.

Unconstrained by boundaries, they traverse Techno, House and everything

in between with a masters touch.

Although their name comes from a basic element of studio equipment,

they have rewritten notions of form and function through their own

idiosyncratic language and are now stepping completely into a new world

since the launch of their own imprint, Second State in 2014. Over the

last years, Second State has not only become a platform for Pan-Pot to

release their own music, but a creative outlet derived from a family of

like minded artists around them to inspire, imagine and travel the world

with, spreading the Second State vision and catapulting new names into

the spotlight like Amelie Lens, Stephan Hinz and Micheal Klein. It’s a

place where all ideas can flow seamlessly, from music and events to art

and fashion.

With no letting up in sight Tassilo Ippenberger and Thomas Benedix

have proven that there are no limits to what can be achieved or dreamed.

Now is the time Pan-Pot are truly coming into their own. Not only as

world class artists and performers, but as tastemakers and masters of

their own destiny.
