The latest release on Lucidflow sees G-Man - Gez Varley - resume his partnership with Rob Strobe on 'Quantec'. G-Man is well known for the part he played as half of seminal Sheffield Bleep outfit LFO, while Rob is a well travelled producer who has found favour with luminaries such as Laurent Garnier, M.A.N.D.Y., Darren Emerson, Chris Liebing and Dubfire. Heavyweight is too light a term to describe the clout sitting behind these two producers.

We lead off with the delightfully melodic 'Quantecium', a track with layer upon layer of churning dub chords. Each thread that weaves through the track is grappled on by your mind - foamy textures, light-touch arpeggios, and swirling aqua.

Having been warmed up, the title track then takes over with a grit of the teeth. 'Quantec' is firmly angled at the dancefloor with maximum hypnotism. Low end rumble is met with call-and-response vocal snippets. Jazzy Detroit chords come in to play with some delightfully crispy 909 hats, meaning that while this is serious business, it is executed with a smile.

'Hopeful' then rounds off the contributions, with the most heavily swinging and rubbery low end which is certain to be a subwoofer teaser. Gentle undulating chords give the track a dappled feel, like a shallow stream lit by springtime sun, perfectly clear so you can see solid smooth pebbles underneath. Label bosses Klartraum then step in with their own touch on 'Hopeful', delivering one of their widescreen remixes. The melodic bounce is still present, but now teamed with sombre Twin Peaks-esque strings, turning the track away from a sunlit afternoon into a crisp misty morning.
