Nautical EP
Review: Quant is the label project of Chris Stanford, the London DJ who was one of the founders of the EarToGround parties. For the latest release, he has enlisted the services of Italian producer Kaiser. This release mirrors the sound and style of the EarToGround parties - tough and relentless, but with a musical undercurrent throughout. This is audible on the pumping, acidic title track, which progresses to reveal a spacey synth sequence, and on "Submersible". There, Kaiser opts for a dubbed-out approach that is nonetheless based on massive kicks and reverberating waves of dub. Keeping it in the EarToGround family, Stanford has commissioned remixes from Gareth Wild - who drops two broken beat takes on "Nautical" - while Diego Amura turns "Submersible" into a gritty minimal workout.

Blackout
Review: Quant has managed to coax Joton from his own New Rhythmic label for Blackout - and the results don't disappoint. "Spellcaster" starts the release in somewhat sombre mode as eerie chords unfold over solid kicks, frenetic snares and doubled up claps. As its title suggests, "Middle Ground" is a halfway house between atmospheric sound scapes and insidious 303 pules. By the time he gets to the title track however, Joton opts for a full-on techno approach as the relentless groove is augmented by building chords. It sets the scene for "Careful What You Wish For", which brings the release to a close with pummeling drums and powerful bass tones.

Undercover EP
Review: Very little is known about Cytra and if anything, his Facebook page merely confirms his wish to be unknown with the statement: "secret alias from unknown artist". Irrespective of his identity, there is no doubt that he has the ability to make great techno. The title track sets the tone for the release with shaking percussion and tough bleeps, while "Stealth" follows in a similar vein, its tones reaching Mike Parker levels of hypnotic depth. "Covert" is more abrasive and revolves around a relentless, frazzled acid rhythm, while best of all, the lumbering break beats and spooky synths of "Incognito" are reminiscent of classic Detroit techno.

Zeta EP
Review: Damien Lapena is a relatively new name in techno, but Zeta shows that he really understands the mechanics of the dance floor. "Zoetrope" is a linear, repetitive affair and is a good indicator of his sound. Inspired by the functional Berghain sound but also informed by Jeff Mills' outer space fascination, the relentless rhythm features hypnotic textures bubbling under the surface. It's a similar tale on "Zodiac", where Lapena adds melancholic twists and turns to the big room sound. The title track also throws up a curveball, with vocals scattered among its loopy, industrial groove, while "Zayin" is the most extreme cut thanks to its banging, distorted beats.
