By Steffi’s own admission, State was recorded after she had ‘freed’ herself from a personal situation. This explains why the Dutch producer, who now feels more comfortable creatively, has made a third album that is more experimental than its predecessors. In places, it sounds influenced heavily by early 90s UK techno and electronics – in particular “All Living Things” is a dead-ringer for B12’s Detroit-focused abstractions. At the same time, it still contains echoes of her previous albums. The warm, warbling bass on “Schools of Thought” could easily fit into the Panorama Bar’s deep house releases. Counteracting this link to her past is the hyper-speed title track, where she channels Stingray’s pacey electro funk, and the jittery, discordant techno of “Mental Events”. It all adds up to an impressive, mature work.
