Rocko Garoni might be new to Second State, but he’s already made an
indelible impression. If 2018’s Detection EP marked the respected Berlin
DJ as a producer to watch, his sophomore Second State release confirms
him as an electrifying new talent. Having made his mark on important
clubs and festival stages across Germany and as far as the Netherlands,
Israel and Brazil, Garoni has a well-trained ear for what works on the
dancefloor. He deploys it to devastating effect on the Phobia EP.
Kicking off the release, the title track is as atmospheric and menacing
as its name suggests. A detached female vocal utters the titular word on
repeat over a pulsing kick, while later, ravey bleeps shift the track
into overdrive. ‘Unify’ is a rallying call that meshes a political
voiceover with a hammering kick and pounding synths. At 132BPM it’s
fast, furious and impossible to resist. ‘MBF’ is straight eyes-down
techno, with another nefarious, monosyllabic vocal and a slowly building
cacophony of elements designed to get lost in. On Marco Bailey’s remix,
the Belgian veteran adds lashings of acid and wonky keys for a
destabilizing alternative. Overall, Phobia is a four-weapon package
destined to do some serious dancefloor damage. Make no mistake, Garoni
has arrived.
