Parallel Series 1
Cat: MOTE 026. Rel: 21 Sep 11
 
Techno
ASC - "Slow Burn"
ASC - "Transit"
LB Dub Corp - "Lurcher's Dub"
LB Dub Corp - "Native Dub"
Review: Now this is a bit special. Luke Slater's Mote Evolver launches the Parallel series, the concept being that two contrasting but complementing artists drop a brace of tracks each on the one 12". US based Englishman ASC (real name James Clements), known primarily for his forward thinking D&B excursions, turns in two whopping techno cuts on the A-Side. The relentless guttural throb of "Slow Burn" is offset by some slapping synths and barely there vocal snippets, kind of what we'd expect a studio jam between Levon Vincent and Boddika to sound like. This is complemented by the more liquid tones of "Transit", a reverb-laden throbber with menacing sonar bleeps piercing the swampy atmospherics. On the flip, Slater adopts his seldom seen L.B.Dub Corp guise for "Lurcher's Dub" and "Native Dub", with the cavernous sub-bass and twinkling keys of the former demanding play on an implausibly large soundsytem.

Thwack (Norman Nodge remix)
Thwack (PAS remix)
Thwack (Mike Parker remix)
Review: Some of techno music's real heavyweights have been commissioned to rework Marcel Fengler's "Thwack". Fellow Berghain resident Norman Nodge is first up, delivering a tough, filtered techno groove, which shows a more abrasive side to the Berlin DJ's palette. Mike Parker's version is just as intense, but with the US producer's distinctive signature, as dense layers of subsonic bleeps encase a claustrophobic rhythm. Not to be outdone, label owner Luke Slater drops a superb version of his own under his Planetary Assault Systems guise, with a menacing, pumping bassline underpinning the incessant ringing of a car alarm.

Review: Luke Slater's impressive Mote - Evolver label continues it rich vein of form with veteran Finnish producer Samuli Kemppi's "Dark Matter EP." An intensely hypnotic EP, he uses a driving beat and echoed FX to create a futuristic landscape for this pulsating, minimal-edged techno beast. The talented producer continues to push things in the right direction with this one.

Complex Numbers
Quantum Mechanics (PAS dub edit)
Linear Function
Review: Luke Slater's Mote Evolver imprint comes up trumps yet again, this time calling on the services of Finnish producer Samuli Kemppi. "Quantum Mechanics" is characterised by a droning bassline and incessant hi-hats, which hold the groove together until a subterranean kick drum takes centre stage some point after the mid section. This shares the A-Side with "Complex Numbers", a moody slice of dub techno replete with scattergun drum programming which makes for a serious basement dancefloor wigout. Flip over for a mammoth dub edit of the title track - this is surely the one Slater rips out of the record bag on special occasions - while "Linear Function" closes off the EP with a shuffling sojourn through intergalactic atmospherics.

Opening proceedings, 'See The Light' unveils a soulful and vocal driven side to the L.B.Dub Corp sound, whilst 'We Are going Home' switches up the aesthetic and movesinto duskier, percussion driven territories. Last up, Slater punctuates the EP with the intricate, snaking sonics of 'Calling The Spirit', harnessing slick, skipping hats and a hypnotic, ever-evolving lead line.

Review: The legendary British producer Luke Slater fires up his L.B. Dub Corp alias once again. This is some of the first original material by him under this alias for the first time since 2013's magnificent Unknown Origin EP on Ostgut Ton. Deep and experimental grooves on the house tip is just one of the ways to describe this interesting side project, with Slater explaining that he wrote the tracks over the last year - between touring as Planetary Assault Systems, the LSD project (with Steve Bicknell and Function) and playing a few L.B. Dub Corp house sets - which inadvertently evolved into the material on this album. From moments of austere bounce like on the dynamic opener "Reel One", to seething factory floor dubs such as "Edge 7" (feat Aurelie Yung) and moments of slow burning hypnotism like on "Forever In A Day"- nobody quite does it like Slater.

Review: Luke Slater's Mote-Evolver welcome back Swedish artist Cari Lekebusch for his second release on the label. Third Eye Vision further secures Lekebusch's already high reputation for being a diverse force within the techno realm thanks to his continuously high quality production and individual sound style. The title track opener "Third Eye Vision" builds around a hypnotic hum, reverbing and lulling alongside the groove in a melodic manner. On the flip, "Ana Kata" is a contrasting battle between atmospheric tones; bleak and emotively sparse moments flit with warm and inviting soundscapes, an adventure through sound and its capabilities!

Dormancy Survivors
Victors History
Review: The latest Mote Evolver release sees a collaboration so obviously perfect its amazing its taken this long, as Stroboscopic Artefacts boss Lucy and Sandwell District alumnus Silent Servant team up for two tracks of precision techno which supposedly sees the pair using digital and analogue elements together to combine Lucy's ability to tell a story with Silent Servant's mastery of noise and distortion. "Dormancy Survivors" sees a steadily rolling rhythm slowly layered up with bright dub chords and echoing chimes, while white hot noise swells in the background. "Victors History" takes a much moodier approach from the off, as a dubby bass deflects bouncing stabs while clockwork percussion drifts in and out of range, before progressing into full blown cinematic techno towards the finish.

It was one of only a few that came under his sporadic Morganistic alias but really sits up there with the best albums of its era. It's linear, straight ahead techno from an interplanetary space that is alive with scurrying sonic motifs and alien life forms, streaming synth lines that leave neon trails in their wake and, on tracks like 'Crimes & Misdemeanours', it has a real trance inducing intensity. The original material has been remastered by the revered Matt Colton at Metropolis which lends it extra heft.

Spitting Electricity
Polar Vortex
Ice Fissure
Review: If there's someone you can count on for excellence in minimalism when it comes to techno, it's Mike Parker. This time it's Mote-Evolver he's doing the business for, turning out three po-faced slices of tough and stealthy tackle for the dance. "Spitting Electricity" uses neat and tidy polyrhythms to create a slip-sliding effect as the titular electricity undulates through a filter. "Polar Vortex" is more obtuse with its bubbling synth tone that comes straight out of the textbook of freaky sound effects in techno tracks. "Ice Fissure" too turns to canny sound design to make its point, not to mention audibly crafting the crack of the title over a slow marching kick.

Function 4 (Marcel Dettmann remix)
Function 4 (Chris Liebing 2011 rework)
Function 4 (original)
Review: Not content with recently delivering a behemoth of a new Planetary Assault System album for Ostgut in the shape of The Messenger, Luke Slater deems the moment is right to revisit a former glory under the pseudonym, backed of course with some heavyweight remixes. Originally out on Peacefrog over a decade ago, Function 4 established Slater's talent for crafting unrelenting, churning metallic techno and still retains potency some ten years on. This EP on his own Mote Evolver imprint is the first in a series of remix twelves with Ostgut's Marcel Dettmann leading the way with a typically all encompassing effort, corroding the groove with thick gloopy textures and waiting an absolute age before a rasping kick rises through. In contrast Chris Liebling's remix veers closer to the brittle, slightly nervous refrain of the source material.

Review: Mote Evolver return with another salvo of reworks from three of techno's biggest names, following last year's remixes of Planetary Assault Systems' massive "Function 4" from Marcel Dettmann and Chris Liebling. Dettmann returns for more with a "Base dub" remix which is a more stripped back affair than his more full bodied first attempt, concentrating instead on subtle rhythmic nuances. Stroboscopic Artefacts' Lucy provides two remixes - one utilising a minimal breakbeat over shrill pads, and one that piles on the atmosphere with its swathes of reverb. Our pick however is Shifted's slickly executed revision, with a rolling rhythm that's packed densely around abstract tones.

Strange Attractor
Arc
Review: Some new Planetary Assault Systems material from Mr Luke Slater is always a welcome sight and The Eyes Themselves finds the techno pioneer on suitably mind bending form. Issued naturally by his own Mote Evolver, this three track 12" bristles with the sort of intense, physical energy that makes the music feel alive and somewhat alien with the title track a perfect embodiment. Across the six minutes, "The Eyes Themselves" develops from a dark throb into full blown techno psychedelia that possesses the ability to draw the more open minds into another dimension. Similar things could be said about "Strange Attractor" so we will draw your attention to the B side cut "Arc" where intensity is the predominant characteristic across the eight thrilling minutes.

Review: While Luke Slater is busy as always, his Planetary Assault Systems output has slowed since the release of the all conquering Messenger LP for Ostgut Ton in 2011. For this Future Modular 12", Slater is less visceral and more arpeggiated than previous releases, harking back to a '90s-early-2000s PAS-sound, specifically the A-side's title-track. On the B-sides there's the deep, trippy and linear "Serc", but before that there's a sinister "Riot In Silo 12" that's showered in 909-hi-hats to get through first.

Review: If you were to find yourself late one Sunday afternoon jostling for position in a reconditioned power station, surrounded by ubermensch males, it's likely you're in Deep Heet. Techno music doesn't get much more self explanatory than this. "Voltan" is the most club-indulgent of the four track EP. A wall of undulating PAS noise shifts in and around a thrumming bassline. and the only audible deviation of instrumentation comes via pattering snares. Pent tensions encircle "Pygar" which gradually cools, as Slater reduces the track back to its original framework. "Turn" sheds the low end and fizzle of the aforementioned tracks, focusing on hypnotic and bleeping loops and disturbing Hitchcock-like insignia, while Slater reintroduces his fearsome hiss on "Flat Tire" with gargantuan war horns.

Review: 11 years after it first featured on Luke Slater's fifth album as Planetary Assault Systems, 'Rip The Cut' has been given the remix treatment. Slater provides two reworks of his own: the deliciously creepy, distorted and subtly intergalactic 'Remix 1'- all locked-in techno grooves, echoing bleeps and trippy vocal samples - and the brilliant breathless 'Remix 2', whose epic percussive breakdown and build could create pandemonium on the dancefloor. Elsewhere, sometime Deep Dish man Dubfire adds locked-in melodic loops to Slater's beefy beats, while the Lady Machine revision is a weighty slab of gnarled industrial techno.

You can bet there's yet more austere and ergonomic tracks for serious DJ use on offer here. Starting off with the driving and cyclical grunt of "Desert Races", then the tunnelling and trance inducing bell melody of "Life Rhythm" representing the A side. On the flip, the full throttle intergalactic charge of Random Kingdom and the dystopian minimalism of "Lazer Organical" which would make even Mike Parker stand up and notice! Slater is still without doubt one of the most singular talents in techno, respect!

As the title suggests, "Straight Shooting" is not for the faint hearted, though fans of the producer's work under the long-held alias will absolutely love it. As with previous reelases, Slater pairs the far-sighted, sci-fi inspired futurism of Detroit with the bombastic, all-action loop techno flex of fellow British veterans Surgeon and Regis. Highlights include the alien techno slam of "Beam Riders", the relentless percussive pressure of "Humans Use Concrete", the dystopian darkness of "Engage Now" and the sweaty, glassy-eyed warehouse flex of EP standout "Give It Up".

Review: More than any other UK techno producer, Luke Slater has remained at the cutting edge. This is partly due to his ability to make forward-thinking music, but as this new series demonstrates, he also possesses an uncanny knack for pairing off with other inspired artists. "Gated" is vintage PAS material from the 90s, its distorted rhythm lent a housey bias here thanks to Ben Sims' superb remix. It's hard to believe that "Dungeon", available here in its original format, dates back to 1997, as its bleepy, tunneling groove and its 'swarm of bee' hums make for exactly the kind of hypnotic sounds that many modern producers try - and fail - to emulate. Completing this excellent release is a dry, tribal version of "Dunegon" by O [Phase] from Token.

Meanwhile, "Kat" itself is tribal, uptempo and proper '90s looped techno. It's an EP of two halves - so which one are you: tech or techno?

Review: To celebrate the passing of three decades since the release of his first EP as Planetary Assault Systems, Luke Slater has served up new reworks of the single's most celebrated cut, 'In From The Night'. The first to have a crack at transforming Slater's 1993 original, a throbbing techno stomper rich in alien-sounding electronics and razor-sharp TB-303 motifs, are old pal Adam Beyer and Drumcode regular Webhha. They retain the original's intensity and sweaty techno breathlessness, adding raw, tech-trance style riffs and a grand, big room-ready sound. Over on the flip, Slater provides two tweaks of his own: a classic, build-and-release 'Edit' with added murky noises and extra TB-303 tweakery, and a blisteringly energetic, off-kilter, on-the-fly 'Live Edit' that re-imagines the track as a jumpy, broken techno beast.

The producer himself delivers a handful of 'live edits' - versions created for his live shows - while Detroit legends Octave One smother "Booster" in classic Motor City melodies and the most positive of synthesizer refrains.

Review: Following Psyk's excellent label debut for Mote Evolver in the shape of Distane, the producer returns for another EP of robust, yet minimalistic techno. The title track is as tripped back as they come, utilising simply a stomping kick drum and metallic bell tones to create a devastating techno tool; "Surface" is similarly sparse, but trades earth shaking qualities for an idiosyncratic combination of irregular claps which are thrown into the mix alongside slender synth stabs. "Intern" meanwhile takes things on a funkier tip, where distant snare rolls and marimba-like tones combine to create a deceptively simple techno tool; it's a stark contrast to "Somewhere" which is significantly brighter in its approach, accenting Psyk's fierce rhythms and dub chords with a colourful cluster of house-inspired stabs.

As expected, the gifted techno producer touches down with an absurdly effective collection of killers, first storming down with the hypnotics of "Disorder", before heading into a relentless wormhole on "Silent Witness". "Apart" opens the B-side with a rattling cascade of metallic percussion, driven forwards by acidic synths, and "Surrender" wastes no time in throwing us back into the midst of the rave, as cavernous and foreboding as humanly possible.

On the reverse, the title track gets a little more unhinged, with groaning pads and loose tin pot percussion hurrying along before closer 'Hand Tap' drops down into a subterranean world of deep techno rhythm.

Making his Mote-Evolver debut, Billy Turner distributes sharp oscillating frequencies with syncopated drum hits in 'Charging Totem', then 'Magma' erupts dangerous modulating stabs whilst ethereal reverb evolves into a cacophony of intense energy.

Edge 1 (6:08)

Review: The legendary Mote Evolver welcomes Roog Unit, a vital project from Luke Slater and O Phase. It is straight up head wrecking techno business that is all about designing perfect loops and letting them roll for days. 'Edge 1' is in a hurry to get to the outer fringes of our solar system, where it finds bleeping melodies and pulling sonar sounds. 'Edge 2' is much more textural and coarse, a soundtrack to cosmic industrial warfare while 'Edge 3' is icy and edgy. The cantering drums are funky and chunky and the synths designed to melt your mind.

Review: Mote Eovler has only ever dealt in serious techno and that's what we get here from Roogunit. Across four fierce tracks various different moods and grooves are offered up. It is the brutal drum patterns and brushed metal textures of 'Bash Box' which open up with urgent siren sounds up top, then 'Don't Let Go' is more fulsome and freaky, with funky drums and dark vocals looping up top. 'Koox' then layers in glassy melodies and silky synths that unravel in linear fashion and 'Sanity Regard' is the eerier and edgy closer. This is some serious techno for those who like it proper.

Review: Amsterdam DJ, producer and ON Records main man Jeff Rushin now gets a release on Luke Slater's highly revered Mote Evolver label and keeps on with its consistent streak of high quality peak time techno. "Coda" is a stripped and minimalist affair which lets a bouncy 808 kick drum do most of the work and rich reverb on the hats. It hypnotises you with its simplicity. As does "Facing The Truth" which offers more of the same but introduces a sinister type of melody. On the flip things get more fierce with "Enigma" and its tunnelling dulcimer melody which builds and builds. "A Figment Of His Imagination" gets on with it using a gritty arpeggiated bassline and roaring chimes.

Review: Shifted's identity has remained somewhat of a mystery in 2012, but crucially, he does not come from the small coterie that has dominated UK techno over the past twenty years. Like the signature image he uses, a grey, shadowy creature creeping through a snowy forest, his infiltration of the sound has been stealthy and understated. In many ways, his lack of connection with techno, his automatic outsider status, has allowed him to effect an entrance into a hitherto new terrain. Like his releases on Mote Evolver and his own Avian imprint, Crossed Paths tingles and fizzes with an atmospheric sensibility that monochrome techno often lacks. All of this is made possible by his distinctive sound design; intricate and subtle, yet at the same time both functional and multi-faceted, where all of these divergent paths cross, you'll find Shifted.

Review: With an ever-widening presence in the modern vanguard of militant techno, Shifted once again sidles up to his regular haunt of Mote Evolver to hammer home some inescapable truths about monochrome dancefloor physics. On all four tracks, there's an unrelenting urgency borne by the steadfast arrangements of rhythmic devices, all locked in so tight the notion of individual elements seems irrelevant. "Razors" grinds and crackles with precision, while "Over" frays into fractals at the edge of its looping drums. "Bloodless" operates a lone acid sentry while "Trouble" hunches down into a mechanical whirr, but all these cuts will do the damage when it counts.

Bound
Review: Luke Slater’s Mote-Evolver label rounds off an impressive 2010 and starts 2011 by passing into record label maturity with a 21st release. As is fitting for such a landmark release, the forever-progressive Slater has plucked a special release from the ether that will impress and intrigue followers of Mote?s approach to undergroundtechno.

Shrouded in anonymity, Shifted’s release is fuelled by a personal passion for techno, this 3-track EP for Mote-Evolver represents an earnest expression of creativity from an enigmatic artist; freed from the restrictions of expectation and reputation.

Opening up with the kind of sparsely constructed but highly incendiary deepspace-techno that has characterized much of Mote’s recent output, Drained is a thumping bass-driven ride through sinister moods and scratchy sounding effects.

Polaron brings an abrasive feel to the release, contrasting with the deeper moods found elsewhere on the EP, as heavy beats and mechanical percussion provide momentum while resounding chimes and shrill stabs add frenetic drama.

Futuristic and hypnotic, Bound combines the pacey dynamism of snappy rhythms with mesmerizing atmospheric loops which weave together to create a shifting melody; oscillating subtly against a backdrop of relentless percussion.

Review: Having become something of a regular fixture in the Mote Evolver camp, Shifted is back once again to head up Side A of the second Parallel Series 12". As you might expect, the techno comes bleak and throbbing from the Shifty one, although avoiding excessive heaviness over immersive progression and dubby FX. On the flip Samuli Kemppi plies his quirkier trade, using offbeat synth mess to counteract the steady rhythm of the bottom end on "Trans Neptunian". "Detached Object" meanwhile fires off streams of interlocking sounds which spiral around the relentless kick for a classy exercise in techno restraint. Highly recommended.

Review: Luke Slater, the UK's mercurial techno protagonist returns with an explosive 4-tracker of electro-fused beats and tech know how, all propelled by his own vocals, leading the charge in what is now a fully functioning live five piece band. With gigs at Monegros (Spain), Dour Festival (Belgium) and Fabric (London) already under their belt, the all new Luke Slater live experience is primed and ready to detonate clubs and venues the world over. Starting off with lead track "Head Converter", Luke gets up behind the mike with a bomb blast of electro and drums hailing his new bands direction. "I'm Going Up" keeps the flow with more live percussion and vox whilst "She Showed Me Heaven" drops the tempo a few notches whilst retaining the electro-funk blueprint. Finally "Something About You" kicks things to a crescendo with guitars and a driving bass playing off Luke's lyrical delivery.

Review: First released back in 1997, breakbeat-driven techno jam "Love" remains one of Luke Slater's most rush-inducing moments. Here the classic has been given a new lease of life via a swathe of fresh reworks. Fittingly, Slater provides cuts under two of his more familiar alternate aliases: an ultra-dreamy, glassy-eyed breakbeat take as The 7th Plain and a thrusting intergalactic techno revision as Planetary Assault Systems. The other revisions are all superb, too. Burial serves up an ultra-deep, super-dusty 4/4 interpretation full of his usual crackling samples, Lucy re-imagines it as a bouncy techno slammer, Marcel Dettmann gives it a clanking, metallic techno feel and Silent Servant offers up some carnival-ready drums and rising symphonic strings.

Review: Well, we must admit that we never foresaw Luke Slater and Dubfire coming together on the same 12". Both enjoy lofty statuses in the tech world but at very different ends of the spectrum - Slater the always underground head who keeps it futuristic and fresh, Dubfire someone happy to play to vast crowds in the more commercial side of the scene. But their work here is faultless. 'The Dissent' is a psychedelic roller for the dead of the night. 'The Sonic Assassin' plunges you deep into the cosmos with its pulsing synths, bass and bells, and 'The Drama' is a meaningful and widescreen cut permitted by fantastic synth designs.

Speedy & Steve are better known as Speedy J and Steve Rachmad - a pair of unquestionable techno titans who come together here and bring all their considerable know-how to a beast of an EP. All four tunes were jammed out live in Speedy's studio then worked into what is presented here. 'Reddo' is a brain-frazzling techno cut with walls of scuzzy synth, while 'Dabler Nine' taps into a more Millsian vibe with its interplanetary synths and pulsing bass. Proving they have endless tricks up their sleeve, 'Right Well & Clean' is a funky looper and 'Rotor' then gets deep, stripped back and heady.

Review: Astonishingly, 27 years have now passed since Steve Rachmad released his first record as Sterac, Sitting on a Cloud. Yet nearly three decades after he first stepped foot in a studio, Rachmad is as prolific as ever, delivering regular collections of club-ready cuts in his trademark tough-but-far-sighted style. There's much to admire on his latest four-track offering, from the buzzing, occasionally jacking peak-time strut of opener 'Ghost 37' and similarly mind-mangling 'Rey Fur 2.1' - all gnarled, twisted electronic riffs and stomping, handclap-heavy machine drums - to the more bleep-heavy hypnotism of closing cut 'TR-15', which is easily the deepest and most melodically developed of the quartet.

Review: The title of this release could sum up Steve Rachmad's diverse career. From the deep techno of the early Sterac releases through the widescreen electro of Sterac Electronics and the tougher projects like Scorp, he has brought his expertise and finesse to a range of styles. For this outing on Luke Slater's label, the Dutch artist remains in harder territory. "Stroke 1" sees clipped drums underpin a dark, ebm bass, while "Stroke 2" explores this sound in more depth, as a grinding low end is fused with hissing percussive ticks. "Stroke 3" and "Stroke 4" return to more typical Sterac territory, with swaggering rhythms unfolding to the sound of bubbly bass tones and dubbed out drums.

Black Mamba

Review: Submerge lands a new two track EP on Luke Slater’s Mote-Evolver imprint. The "Black Mamba" EP introduces two of the dark and tweaky tracks that have brought the Chi town native to the attention of today's techno scene.


Mote-Evolver has been on a fine run of form of late. Recent releases from the likes of Cari Lekebusch, Ortin Cam and Samuli Kemppi’s excellent "Dark Matter" EP are still fresh in the memory and have subsequently raised the expectation levels for every release that follows on the label. Those levels increase even more when the producer is one of the most exciting to come out of the USA in recent years. Having built a reputation as an eclectic and innovative producer, and fresh from the success of his "2012" EP on his own Impact Mechanics label, Submerge now pushes his fresh techno sound further with "Black Mamba."


The title track is an adrenalin fuelled, full throttled techno jauggernaught that gets the release underway with a bang. Bristling with energy and intensity, the track builds amid pounding beats, pulsing acid stabs and manic phaser FX from outer space. It is heads down stuff for peak time sets, sure to blow the heads off anyone who hears it. B Side, "J-XX" is not as emphatic but every bit as powerful. Crunching beats and swashing FX create a rawness that compliments the groove to perfection. Constantly building, the track grows and grows with each bar, mutating itself into an angry and fierceful climax.


Another stand out release from Mote-Evolver, "Black Mama" proves that the label can keep the quality of their output consistently high, rather than just staying noticed through an occasional track that grabs attention. The EP also shows that its creator, Submerge, is more than capable of keeping his quality at the same level too.
