At the turn of the year we find the MOTOR duo of
Mr. No and Bryan Black both firmly in the driving
seat of their metallic, rust-coated rocket car.
Not content with laying waste to clubland last
year with the monstrous 'Stuka Stunt' and
'Sweatbox' singles they are now set to release
their debut album, Klunk, this spring. Preceded by
the single and album opener 'Black Powder', MOTOR
are bracing themselves for a head on crash into
the spot light this year with extensive worldwide
tours, a revved-up three piece live show and the
dancefloor muscle to deliver where it hurts.
Mr. No comes from the industrial wastelands of
Paris, and Bryan Black from Minneapolis yet being
truly international they met and formed in the
smoky basements of Camden, London where Mr. No was
playing drums and Bryan was watching on in awe.
Bryan Black was seminal pop star PrinceÆs 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 have remixed the likes of Marilyn Manson,
Throbbing Gristle and most recently, Depeche Mode
as well as remixing the theme song for the final
Godzilla film, Final Wars, in a collaboration with
Felix Da Housecat. The MOTOR duo are also known
for their work under the alias XLOVER whose album,
Pleasure & Romance, was released on DJ Hell's
Gigolo Records last year and their multiple
collaborations with Felix Da Housecat include
co-writing tracks off his last LP Devin Dazzle &
The Neon Fever as well as producing tracks for
Princess Superstar and Japanese rock god Atsushi
Sakurai.
After releasing a string of raw, bold and
innovative singles including the massive
'Sweatbox', MOTOR now unleash their debut album,
Klunk. Packed with dark menacing grooves,
corrosive industrial drumming and the pioneering
spirit of acid house, Klunk locks into a swirl of
techno-strobed hedonism and doesn't let go.
Opening with the building synth hurricane of
forthcoming new single 'Black Powder', MOTOR steer
us into their murky bassline strewn world of
sinister rhythms and menacing grooves. Next up the
drug-fuelled psychosis of 'Yak' enquires if
'You've got any gak?' whilst the band's second
single release 'Stuka Stunt' swirls and stoops
like a demented dive bomber on acid. 'Killer',
featuring Candy Boxx, jacks its way through the
MOTOR city landscape, 'Botox' rides roughshod on
the back of twisted bass and 'MDXT-A' is stripped
to the bone MOTOR punk. Next up the dynamic duo
hook up with legendary Nitzer Ebb vocalist,
Douglas McCarthy for the demonic, industrial
spiked groove of '1 X 1' before the now ubiquitous
'Sweatbox' delivers the bands infamous death blow.
'King Of USA' drags the star-spangled banner
through clublandÆs dark underbelly, 'Spazm'
twitches and buzzes like an electric saw out of
control and the hard to find first single 'Din 13'
crash lands back to earth in leathered-up jack
boots. Finally, 'En Trans' drives us home with the
sun beginning creep across our blacked out shades
- drained and emotional but with the MOTOR still
growling for action.
