Russian producer Sanys has impressed with a series of raw techno records on his Downfall Theory label - and his latest release further showcases his talents. 'Dominance' starts with atmospheric synth washes before a granular bass and relentless percussion propel it forward. Like previous Sanys releases however, this is not straightforward linear techno and a rumbling vocal and insistent drums will keep the listener engaged. 'My Concern' sees Sanys opt for a different approach, with a pulsing bass and a crystalline synth line going up and down the scales, intertwined with a vocal snippet, while 'Told You So' features another stylistic shift. On this occasion, it's back to the darker sound that was audible on some of the earlier Downfall Theory releases. Tight, snappy drums and robust, insistent claps provide the basis for a droning, murky bassline that cuts through the arrangement like a lighthouse rays in the dark of night. Finally, Irish producer Eomac, one half of Lakker, delivers a version of 'Dominance' that centres on lithe broken beats, ghostly melodies and insidious tonal shifts. As its title suggests, 'Dominance' shows Sanys has become a master of the techno form.
