Luke Slater’s Mote-Evolver reach the big 4-0 with the help of Chris Jarman, the commanding officer behind the Kamikaze Space Programme. Looking to redefine the concept of uncompromising from bass culture’s traditional Bristol HQ, ‘Concrete Musique’ is four tracks of loud, hard-nosed, techno-taunting speaker pressure.

Both ‘The Bailiff’ and ‘Network Rail’ power off boxy kick drums: such is their statement of intimidation, not much else is needed to accompany this campaign of haymaking through the arena.With percussion veering between tub-thumping and machine gunned tribalism, the pair 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 spearing 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 blackened 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 Deathstar for all poppers and lockers brave enough to face its wrath.

‘Death 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 backdrop, 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.

-------------
"After the success of their debut EP ‘001’, La Dune returns with a brand new compilation entitled the ‘Common Obsession’ EP. Jimmy Salmon, co-founder of the label, opens the release with ‘On Edge’, an insight into his dreamy world of lucid synthesizers. The label proves to us the everlasting talent of Scotland’s Glaswegian scene: first Sonter, having one release in hand on Blotter Records, returns with an energetic breakbeat track reminiscent of 90’s trance; and Affi Koman, who steps in with “Psychedelic Experience” after former releases on Huntleys & Palmers and Lyceum Social Club. Jacques Torrance, a familiar face and the second half to the dune, shows a new façade with strong French house influences, before a first encounter with English producer and disc jockey, Rick Sheen, who gives us a chilled out and bouncy house piece. 
'Common Obsession' is definitely not one to miss, as its variety of energetic tracks are bound to keep your feet moving on the dance floor."
