In 2006 techno and ambient pioneer Luke Slater launched his own label, Mote Evolver. Besides Mr. Slater himself and his Planetary Assault Systems and L.B. Dub Corp projects, the label's artist roster includes some of the finest artists in the field of dark, cavernous techno, such as Samuli Kemppi, Marcel Fengler and Lucy.

Spain's Psyk aka Manuel Anos is welcomed back into the Mote Evolver fold after his debut release 'Distane' last year. Four floor-ready cuts of muscular techno from the metallic toll of 'Arcade', rounder dub stabs of 'Surface', tight-lipped textures of 'Intern' and jollier chords of 'Somewhere'. Nice work.

A first collaborative effort between Luca Mortellaro and Juan Mendez, better known as Lucy and Silent Servant is impressive. 'Dormancy Survivors' is a massive slice of hefty, pulsing yet experimental cavernous techno whilst 'Victors History' is more muscular and reduced but of an equally stealthy determination.

Chapter three of Luke Slater's Deep Heet series continues in a universe of its own. 'Voltan', inspired by the Mayan god of drums is a beastly fella of beautiful complexity, 'Pygar' bleeds in crystal melodies across huge expanses, 'Turn' and 'Flat Tire' in sharper focus with muted melodies and fragmented rhythms. Top grade.

Following up the first set of remixes of Luke Slater's seminal 'Function 4' from 2000 on Peacefrog, this second set sees further refractions. Two by Lucy, first revelling in new complexities and the second booting it in the bass regions, Marcel Dettman's dub adds creamy layers and Shifted nips and slices. Excellent.

Following on from excellent Parallel Series 1 with ASC and Luke Slater as L.B. Dub Corp, this second split release sees Shifted (Avian/Mote-Evolver) and Finland's Samuli Kemppi explore further dark techno territories. Shifted utterly stripped and effective and Kemppi knocking minute melodic details. Killer release!

Two producers from Techno's top tier, Marcel Dettman (Ostgut Ton) and Chris Liebing (CLR), take on Planetary Assault System aka Luke Slater's 'Function 4'. Dettman goes straight for the gut with his signature throbbing bass sound in contrast to Chris Liebing's comparably more upbeat groove.

Sweden's H.Productions head appears for the second time on Luke Slater's revered Mote Evolver imprint. The title track is darkly hypnotic though imbued with a light shuffly groove, 'Ana Kata' kicks with brasher percussion and melodic slivers whilst 'Octave Mundi' breathes powerfully in strong techno moves. Ace.

More astounding intergalactic techno-shenanigans in the second volume of the 'Deep Heet' series. Taking techno back to its primal roots, 'Suktion' does just that in a punishing whirlwind vortex, 'Powwow' spirals over kicking entrancing motifs and 'Raid' is a menacing stealthy slow-burner. Surrender is the only option...
