Press Info:
Luke Slater’s “She Showed Me Heaven” made it’s first appearance as part of the “Head Converter EP” released back in 2006 and was only the third release on Luke’s own Mote-Evolver label. Now the label celebrates number ten with this latest instalment featuring 2 cracking new mixes from Mr Slater as well as interpretations from guests, Len Faki and Radial.
At the time, the original version of “She Showed Me Heaven”, featuring Luke’s own vocals, was a slice of electro-funk that helped to introduce this techno pioneer to a new audience. The latest remixes are firmly rooted in dancefloor territory, kicking off the A-side with Luke’s “Junk Funk” remix which turns the original into a thrashing, no holds barred, peak time killer.
Flip over to the B-side for Luke’s dubbier alter ego, L.B. Dub Corp and a stripped down, lazy dub-bass vibe. Slater himself says of the moniker: “A lot of inspiration came from my regular sets at Space Base in London where I started mixing up Dub reggae records with electronic minimalism.”
Disc 2 passes the baton over to the guest remixers, and first up is Berlin’s Len Faki (Podium / OstGut Ton / Berghain) with his dark, pounding techno version; heavy on the thundering bass and choppy beats.
Completing the package Dutch duo, Radial (Jeroen Liebregts & Laurens van der Starre) transfer the energy of their live shows into a vibrant remix of surging beats and distorted frequencies.
