INFO

Mote030 is the second remix package to reinte rpret Planetary Assault Systems' seminal record 'Function 4'. Originally release d on the influential Peacefrog label in 2000, Luke Slater now hosts 'Function 4' on his Mote-Evolver imprint and invites three of the finest minds in electronic music to tease the original apart and reconfigure it anew: Lucy, Marcel Dettman n and Shifted.

Lucy opens the record with a structural re-imagination of 'Function 4' where the beats become broken and the layers dense. Amid hisses and snarls Lucy skilfully reweights the elements and splinters the vocal, givin g rise to a stunning, hypnotic atmosphere.

Marcel Dettmann, who appea red on the first episode of the remix package, is back with a new agenda. His 'B ase Dub Remix' revels in swung beats, taking the material and submerging it into a space that is deep and aqueous, with euphoric results.

In Shifted' s hands 'Function 4' becomes galvanised. Shifted takes it hard, ratcheting the p ace up-a-gear and accelerating into industrial terrain. Persistent and perniciou s, this track sounds less like it was made by human hands and more like the prod uct of a complex industrial process.

The record closes with Lucy once again rethinking 'Function 4'. He mines the twisted beats of the original and m oves them into hybrid dub territory. And in spite of the pounding bass line, the track manages to reach out into the realms of ecstatic ambience.

Thi s package sees Lucy, Marcel Dettmann and Shifted highlighting the disparate face ts of 'Function 4'. The EP contains industrial, broken beat, dub and ambient ele ments; a multiplicity of ideas to move not just the body but also to provoke the mind.
