D-R-U-N-K is the brand new solo outing from Oly Grasset who you may know as one half of trashing Techno Duo MOTOR, the lovely folks who brought such classic hits to hardcore underground fans such as ‘King of the USA’ and the face melting, Synth Rising fuck you to your grey matter ‘Death Rave’.
As much as I would like to floss about my obsession with MOTOR, they have decided to call it a day with their last album ‘Man Made Machine’ ending now a decade of MOTOR and bridging off their separate ways with Bryan doing Black Asteroid.
This has not deterred Mr. No one iota as D-R-U-N-K was his way of getting a breath of fresh air and doing things that seemed to have limited him during his time in MOTOR.
Oly’s production as always is still on point baring in mind that he has been making music since 1993. As D-R-U-N-K, his remix work is brilliant and to a ‘T’ so yeah its not a sad day if you’re still yearning for the days of MOTOR, there is still that aspect floating around but with a brand new sheen!
Best way I can describe the D-R-U-N-K sound is techno that throws you face first in the mud and holds you up at gunpoint in a ghetto. As the tagline on D-R-U-N-K’s website would say ‘Porn techno is here: It has to be French!’
In our exclusive NZ interview we got to talk Oly about getting DRUNK on D-R-U-N-K and find out what really happened to MOTOR and how you can follow an excellent example of the Techno genre, something I wish NZ could catch on it.
