Review: Having released on labels like Rekids and Lobster Theremin, last year Chontane made the leap and set up his own imprint. The second release on TANE shows that by having his own platform, he has the freedom to experiment with a variety of sounds and styles. "Manx" sees him fuse tribal drums with the tonal repetition of Sleeparchive to deliver a pure, hypnotic track. On "Gazebo", his focus shifts. Powered by tough claps and a throbbing groove, it also features chilling Detroit synths. "Oolean" sees him go harder through the use of grainy drums, but he still leaves room for atmospheric synths. Closing track "Isopode" is more melodic, as Chontane draws inspiration from Sterac and Aril Brikha.

Review: SHDW's label marks its twentieth release with this weighty compilation. Drawing on some of the most respected names in techno, volume three is full of peak-time bangers. There's the lean, rolling techno of Chlar's "Inside Us", while Dax J showers the listener with waves of acid tones on the steely, peak-time "Celestial Dub". The Advent's "Randomized" is a bruising and quite brilliant industrial techno workout. While Blawan's hyperactive "Don't You Dare Squawk At Me" hovers just below the 160 bpm mark, not all of the compilation is as intense. Vocals are mixed with chiming chords on Gary Beck's "Fold" and Z.I.P.P.O's "Broken Game" is a deep Detroit techno track.

Review: The third instalment of the Monnom Black compilation series sees the respected label delivering its distinctive, hard-edged techno. Villa's "Silhouetten Der Nacht" is a lean roller, while Levzon's "Planga" and Benkhlifa's "Basikstruktur" both deliver a more abrasive, visceral sound. However, the compilation also casts its gaze wide and possesses an impressive range. Umwelt contributes the epic string-led electro of "Echoes of the Storm", while Kashpitzky's hypnotic "Timeline" goes deeper while maintaining a focus on the dance floor. In keeping with this diverse approach, Black III even provides the listener with some ebm, delivered through the pounding, brutalist rhythms of LPV's "Arrival".

Review: Chontane is part of a new wave of hard techno producers, and Permanent provides an exhilarating snapshot of his sound. "Graze" sets the tone for much of the release. Set to a feverish pace, its gnarly drums and rickety percussion make for an intense sound. "Cumaru" is moulded in the traditional hard techno vein, with dramatic chords unfolding over intense filters, while both "Schima" and "Lauan" see Chontane ramp up the intensity again. Following a similar approach to "Cumaru", they are typified by mesmerising synth builds and galloping grooves. Despite the high-octane approach, there is also a depth to Chontane's work and this is best characterised by "Vevis". Led by evocative keys, it's a beautiful emotive techno track.

Review: Celebrating the first anniversary of their label, SHDW & Obscure Shape deliver a comprehensive compilation of high-octane techno. Despite most tracks clocking in over the 140 bpm mark, Federation Of Rytm II offers enough nuance and complexity to keep the listener engaged throughout. Lars Huismann's "New Way" resounds to dramatic strings and frenetic break beats, while Mark Broom offers a different perspective. The veteran producer's "Ole Ole" is a dense tribal affair that draws on the loop techno sound for inspiration. The compilation also features other, less predictable influences. Alpharisc's "Flow" draws on dub techno, while contributions from Regent and Invexis seamlessly integrate Detroit depth into peak-time rhythms.

Review: Up next on Rekids is David Natochen aka Chontane, who has previously put out music on labels like Them and Magic Power. It's not hard to understand why Healing has such appeal for Matt Edwards: "Nam" resounds to rolling, thunderous drums, skipping breaks and infectious vocal samples, making for an alluring warehouse techno combination. On "Leto", Natochen ventures farther down the break beat path, with a ponderous vocal sample unfolding over crashing breaks and eerie synth lines. "Exam" is deeper and more hypnotic as a busy drum workout supports frazzled chord builds, while "Gora" sees Chontane's approach applied to electro, with clipped drums supporting futuristic melodies.
