Review: The Unterton label has only one goal in its sight, and that is to dominate all dance floors with a tight, regimented techno flair that is characteristic of the modern Berlin sound. Somewhen, a young Berliner who obviously has a deep passion for his city's musical tradition, feels like a natural addition to the label, and we'd already clocked onto him thanks to a string of recent releases for the Sana label. Although we're talking straight up techno here, the opener "Inward" delivers a squelching, distorted 4/4 bullet that places it in the weirder end of the genre's spectrum, with the same going for "Grit", a broken, mid-tempo jam that has more in common with downtempo than 3am Berghain noise. "Null Drift" does, however, provide some straighter heat, and "Diskret" ties off this excellent EP with some low-pitched techno backed by a hint of 303 power. Strong.
