UK producer Mantra is one half of the label and events series Rupture and a regular on Munich's Ilian tape. He masters deep and atmospheric techno again here right from the off. 'Locked In Locked On' is a mid-tempo and silky roller with dub-wise swagger and crispy breaks, 'Levitation Dub' then rides a more propulsive rhythm with chords infusing it with warmth and 'Ruffhouse' then kicks off with more prickly rhythms, shooting synth motifs and rugged bass. 'Big Munch' brings some jungle energy to close a sophisticated low-end exploration.
