INFO
Luke Slater's Mote-Evolver reach the big 4-0 wi th the help of Chris Jarman, the commanding officer behind the Kamikaze Space Pr ogramme. Looking to redefine the concept of uncompromising from bass culture's t raditional Bristol HQ, 'Concrete Musique' is four tracks of loud, hard-nosed, te chno-taunting speaker pressure.

Both 'The Bailiff' and 'Network Rail' power off boxy kick drums: such is their statement of intimidation, not much el se is needed to accompany this campaign of haymaking through the arena.
Wi th percussion veering between tub-thumping and machine gunned tribalism, the pai r set about a session of straight up and down ear-bashing. 'The Bailiff' carries the thinnest and daintiest of supernatural airs, while 'Network Rail' and its s pearing loops demand to be housed in a hangar reaching breaking point.

Dancing on the live rail and taking a buzzsaw to its bottom end is the blacken ed electro breakbeat of 'Radio', laying down body-popping lino before the techno undertone turns it into a bed of nails. KSP's palette is again sparse, watching the sparks fly while cowbells ring in the distance, making a date with the Deat hstar for all poppers and lockers brave enough to face its wrath.

'De ath to the Valley' is a versatile beast. Thanks to its explosive bass foundation , it can be found sweeping grime and trap before it, hanging out in the deepest techno recesses, and stomping its breakbeat feet. Another seethingly bare backdr op, punctuated by lab squiggles and signals vainly trying to keep a leash on the marauder it has let loose, means you should wear protection: contents are white hot.

SLAM / SOMA RECORDS: fuc king awesome
DUSTIN ZAHN / ENEMY RECORDS: I think tracks like these have a great effect on the dance floor. It might be easy to pass on initially due to th e lack of any obvious hook or something. However, when you drop something so bla tantly sparse, dry and rough on top of the mix it really changes the dynamic. So , thanks for this!
