Renaat 'R&S' Vandepapaliere's revived Apollo imprint presents an EP from Londoner Jack Dixon: four tracks of deep, elegantly designed techno, leading with the smoky, UKG-inflected shuffler 'You Won't Let Me'. 'Saviour''s space-case chords and broken drum patterns invoke Theo Parrish and STL but there's more of a sheen to this stuff, with syrupy vocal clips and loads of cotton-wool-padding reverb, while 'Every Time' and 'Black Paint' are post-dubstep house excursions that would sound right at home on R&S at the moment. What makes this stuff stand out is the attention to detail and the craftsmanship.
