From novamute:
Unhuman (it's not a word) delves further into the structure of melody and vocals than its brut force predecessor. Tracks such as '20 Volts of Steel' morph vocodered vocals into jacking Chicago house whilst 'Night Drive' tags hypnotic synth lines onto the chromed body work of a sleek, midnight destined electro-chariot. Title track 'Unhuman' and 'Drug Punk' ghost the melody onto the dancefloor, coaxing warmth and soul from the production duo’s instruments whilst opening track and first single 'Bleep #1' bridges the gap between the dancefloor ready-to-go first album and more developed song structure of the second. 'Tete en Plastique" adds synth drama to its strobe strutting beats, 'Re-format' splices taut synth lines onto dynamic, grinding basslines and 'AC 775' rolls into the depths of the night with volcanic intensity. Finally, 'Sikk' reverberates into the twilight hours like Plastikman going ten rounds with an exploding Bontempi organ factory.
As production duo Bryan and Mr. No develop their own DJ tag team show using CDJs, laptops and microphones turning it into a "MOTOR DJ performance" their other live band, the four piece X-Lover, remains firmly on the back-burner. A constant round of remixing for the likes of Terence Fixmer, US synth pop band Julien-K, Nitzer Ebb and a cover of Cypress Hill's 'Insane In the Brain' with T.Raumschmiere on vocals has further maintained MOTOR's production sharpness. Now, not even a full year from their debut album, the engine has been tweaked and polished for a smoother, more sophisticated ride.
Bio:
2006 has been a phenomenal year for MOTOR . Not only did they unleash their debut album, 'Klunk', on the back of their 'Stuka Stunt', 'Sweatbox' and 'Black Powder' singles, but their live show as a travelling three piece has torn up clubs, gigs and festivals the world over. MOTOR supported Nitzer Ebb on their world tour and appeared at such festivals as I Love Techno with Kraftwerk, and Pukkelpop with Daft Punk.
MOTOR live is Mr. Nô, Bryan Black and XLover guitarist Hugo Menendez . Electronic music practising a punk ethic, MOTOR is unlike anything else: abrasive, strangely melodic, pulsing like a machine. A sound, which by no mistake, has put them in a class of their own.
Mr. No and bryan black formed MOTOR in the smoky basements of Shoreditch, London where Mr. No was playing drums and Bryan was watching on in awe. Mr. No comes from the industrial wastelands of Paris , and Bryan Black from Minneapolis. Bryan Black was seminal pop star Prince 's sound designer and programmer at Paisley Park Studios in the late 90s before setting off to London to pursue his own musical projects whilst Mr. No arrived in London in 1989 with a mission to turn drummers into drum machines.
The duo has remixed the likes of Throbbing Gristle, Nitzer Ebb, Marilyn Manson and Depeche Mode between releasing a string of raw, bold and innovative singles including the massive 'Sweatbox' which toped many charts and became the peak track in the sets of DJ Hell, Svan Vath, Dave Clarke, Miss Kitten and many others.
The band's debut album, 'Klunk' is packed with dark menacing grooves, corrosive industrial drumming and the pioneering spirit of acid house which locks into a swirl of techno-strobed hedonism and doesn't let go. 'Klunk' joins the dots between Nitzer Ebb, Front 242, Kraftwerk, Plastikman, acid house and minimal techno creating a glorious dancefloor killing sound that is uniquely MOTOR.
MOTOR are currently in the studio mixing the new album and preparing for a World tour starting in January 2007.
