CATALOGUE

Luke Slater's Mote Evolver label is not pulling any punches. Having shaken the techno scene to its boots last month with the release of Ortin Cam's no-holes-barred "Carnage", the label moves on to their funky 13th release.

The name Cari Lekebusch is synonymous with what has made techno the musical powerhouse that it has become. Globally recognized as a founding force behind the Swedish techno movement alongside the triumvirate of Adam Beyer, Jesper Dahlbäck and Joel Mull, Lekebusch's distinctive musical style and creative integrity has graced leading label from Drumcode to Soma to Harthouse and Turbo and spawned a career that has maintained over nearly two decades.

Spindizzy is a deftly crafted funked-up tech house track. Constructed from a palette of harmonically aligned keys, bass and horns; its intensity comes from the measured way in which each element is given the space to breath its own energy into the mix. Pacey but musical, subtle yet memorable; this is a standout record.

Luke Slater adding his bass sodden L.B Dub Corp twist to the track completes the package. Deeply dubbed-out tribal rhythms take the mix on a more left-of centre path that winds through a busy soundscape of atmospheric acoustics that seem to breathe in deeply before being exhaled in a release of firing percussion.

	A: Carnage
	B: Carnage (The Advent & Industrialyzer Remix)

"I've been playing Ortin's track at big gigs for quite a while at peak times, with The Advent & Industrialyzer interpreting it its great to release these two fine pieces of work that have purpose and conviction" says Luke Slater about the next release on his Mote Evolver label. The boundary-pushing mind-set Slater brings to his own Planetary Assault Systems creations is a key characteristic of the music he selects for Mote Evolver. This release from Ortin Cam a prime example.

Being an influential player within Belgium's evergreen techno scene, Ortin Cam's music can best be described as rousing and straight-to-the-point. A regular contributor for leading labels such as Drumcode and Invasion, this single on Mote-Evolver represents another accolade in Cam's upwardly mobile career.

The clue to what to expect from this record is in the title. Carnage is a highly purposeful, no-holes-barred, full force techno record. Constructed around firing snares and alternating loops of jittery and then drawn out horn snippets the overall effect is a high-octane track with a fierce rhythm and lots of tense energy.

The Advent & Industrialyzer (Kombination Research) present their combined force on the remix. The duo brings a groovier, more electronic vibe to the track; keeping the pulsing tension of the original and underpinning everything with a mechanical, hammer-like groove and multiple layers of undulating distorted acid.

ARTIST PROFILE: ORTIN CAM

At the tender age of 15 Ortin Cam started making beats with an old school computer. Picking up on DJing as well, he continued to hone his craft for the next few years until a local radio station invited him to play some records on air. Soon thereafter the Headroom Group, running a large array of techno labels, got wind of this new kid on the block. His very first demo recording went on to be the Provoked EP (Invasion 11) and 17 year old Ortin's debut. He has released tracks on Pornographic, Invasion, Session, Traction, Corachi, Anlx, Bound, Highland Beats, In-Cycle and Sino's sublabel Minimaxima.

	1: Flame
	2: Blackend
	3: Poni
these samples are lower quality than the originals

The 'Poni EP' kicks off with the rippling beats of 'Flame', through it's slow, measured build up and underlying dark force, driving the track through to completion, as A. Mochi gradually throws in the beats. 'Blackend' drills into your brain from the onset, releasing its choppy beats and deep bass tones to great effect. A beast for the dancefloor. Lastly the title track 'Poni' clip-clops into view, showing off A. Mochi's depth of skill. The landscape is lighter, but still retains those dirty trademark beats.

Blurring the musical genres of techno, electro and minimal, A. Mochi's 'Poni EP' will light up many dancefloors and makes a perfect addition to the Mote-Evolver catalogue.

ARTIST PROFILE: A. MOCHI

A.Mochi is a DJ and producer in Toyko who also performs LIVE. He has become one of the most remarkable artists in the Tokyo underground scene, devoting himself to the groove of the techno/ house genre and the digital sounds found in 90's rock. A.Mochi is the first artist to have a release on Luke Slater's label with the RE:SOUND EP!

	A: Luke Slater's Junk Funk Remix
	B: L.B. Dub Corp Remix
	C: Len Faki Remix
	D: Radial Remix
these samples are lower quality than the originals

Luke Slater's "She Showed Me Heaven" made it's first appearance as part of the "Head Converter EP" released back in 2006 and was only the third release on Luke's own Mote-Evolver label. Now the label celebrates number ten with this latest instalment featuring 2 cracking new mixes from Mr Slater as well as interpretations from guests, Len Faki and Radial.

At the time, the original version of "She Showed Me Heaven", featuring Luke's own vocals, was a slice of electro-funk that helped to introduce this techno pioneer to a new audience. The latest remixes are firmly rooted in dancefloor territory, kicking off the A-side with Luke's "Junk Funk" remix which turns the original into a thrashing, no holds barred, peak time killer.

Flip over to the B-side for Luke's dubbier alter ego, L.B. Dub Corp and a stripped down, lazy dub-bass vibe. Slater himself says of the moniker: "A lot of inspiration came from my regular sets at Space Base in London where I started mixing up Dub reggae records with electronic minimalism."

Disc 2 passes the baton over to the guest remixers, and first up is Berlin's Len Faki (Podium / OstGut Ton / Berghain) with his dark, pounding techno version; heavy on the thundering bass and choppy beats.

Completing the package Dutch duo, Radial (Jeroen Liebregts & Laurens van der Starre) transfer the energy of their live shows into a vibrant remix of surging beats and distorted frequencies.

ARTIST PROFILE: LUKE SLATER

One of Britain’s true electronic music and techno pioneers, with a career that has spanned 20 years and counting, Luke Slater is a national treasure.

Born in Reading and raised in Horley, Luke’s early sound dalliances with his dad's ancient reel to reel tape machine and his drumming stints led to work in local record shops including self set up infamous Jelly Jam in Brighton. By 1988 Slater was fully immersed in the embryonic acid house scene DJing at London's seminal Troll at sound shaft Heaven.

Luke soon began releasing original tracks under various monikers and his single debut came in 1989 in the form of “Momentary Vision”. After releases on DJax as Clementine, on GPR as 7th Plain and Morganistic (with Alan Sage) and especially on Peacefrog with nearly a dozen of releases as The X-Tront and as Planetary Assault Systems, Slater's trajectory through the early to mid nineties electronic music scene was at very least staggeringly prolific and a lot of the times utterly majestic. Especially his Planetary Assault Systems alias that Slater uses for his harder edged techno output became a sound that had gone into the heads and hearts of the dance scene and as a result became a milestone in UK techno history.

After releasing 4 full length PAS albums on Peacefrog, he ascended to the majors in 1997 with the release of a modest milestone of latter-day techno album on NovaMute that resulted in 1997's Freek Funk and the album Wireless followed two years later. His first volume of the mix series Fear and Loathing appeared in 2001 on the React label. Alright on Top from 2002 was an "album of songs" with vocals from Ricky Barrows and others featured on every track. The second volume of Fear and Loathing appeared in late 2004. Similarly his international DJ career and live performances had become far-reaching with headline gigs at full speed all over the world.

Equally revered as taste maker and remix artist, Luke has released a mix for the Fabric DJ-mix series and has reinvented innumerable tracks in remixes from artists like Depeche Mode and Ken Ishii to more recent remixes for the likes of Radial and Soul Designer.

In 2006 Luke set up his label Mote-Evolver, releasing limited 12" records for discerning collectors and digital downloads through the Mote-Evolver and N.E.W.S. websites. Running his own label gives him the chance to release music of artists who often peak in his personal charts topping the releases with his own remixes.

Regular appearances at legendary clubs such as Berghain of Berlin, Fabric of London and Nitsa of Barcelona and varied clubs and festivals all over the world he delivers energetic sets to sold out crowds which retain his star status today as a live performer and of course a DJ.

2009 saw the release of the new a much awaited for Planetary Assault Album on Ostgut Ton in Berlin earlier in the year. Again changing the Techno landscape to much praise from fans and industry alike. Slater continues his Live Planetary shows this year whilst simultaneously handling DJ dates and remixes, working with artists for releases on his Mote-Evolver record label and even finding time to compose a special hour long 7th Plain piece for the Staats Ballett in Berlin. A man that just won't rest, Slater proposes 2010 another eventful year.

	A1: Lies (Luke Slater Remix)
	A2: Lies (Original)
	B1: Blood Simple
	B2: The End Is Far
these samples are lower quality than the originals

The combined studio talents of Savas Pascalidis and Remute provide the latest release for techno legend Luke Slater’s Mote-Evolver. Savas and Remute met each other at several parties they had both been booked to play and soon realised that they had similar tastes, especially their love of dark, rotating, sequencer techno and sleazy, slamming disco. The chemistry was right, so the two decided to hit the studio. The 3 original tracks making up this EP were built in a few short, spontaneous, but determined sessions, in which Savas’ heavy disco, techno and house background meet up with the fresh and funky way Remute works with sounds and samples.

The original version of ‘Lies’ is a pumping and swinging combination of beats and bass plus slashing vocals, while the remix by Luke Slater puts a crown on this fantastic track, and kicks off the EP. On the B side ‘Blood Simple’ is a dark and functional machine groove sound whose rotating saw teeth keep slicing into the groove. The last track ‘The End is Far’ is a refreshing funk catapult for the early morning hours making this EP a killer combination of light and dark.

ARTIST PROFILE: SAVAS PASCALIDIS

Savas Pascalidis was influenced by early disco, funk, breakdance pop and started his career around 1986 as a house/acid/disco/funk DJ in Southern Germany.

	A: Something about you
	B: Head Converter
	C: She showed me heaven
	D: I'm going up

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 and finally "Something About You" kicks things to a crescendo with guitars and a driving bass playing off Luke's lyrical delivery. I wanted to move forward from "Alright on Top" but not back to "Freek Funk".

"I'm really into my live show at the moment and we did some great festival gigs in the summer and I want Luke Slater releases to be more attached to the live side of things so what you hear on the record is what you get in the show. I love playing live with the full band."
