Friskee – The Brain Is https://klubikon.com/2024/10/09/premiere-force-mass-motion-pres-friskee-the-brain-is/ Wed, 09 Oct 2024 10:09:03 +0000 https://klubikon.com/?p=43604 Force Mass Motion’s rave Friskee project ...]]> Force Mass Motion drops two remastered Friskee gems along with two previously unreleased cuts from the 90s project on the ‘Vapour Trail’ EP.

‘Vapour Trail’ EP consists of four tracks: the previously unreleased ‘Vapour Trails’ and ‘One Piano’, accompanied by the remasters of rave classics ‘The Brain Is’ and ‘Virtually You’.

Force Mass Motion’s rave Friskee project from the 90s has seen a feverish renewed interest over the past few years. Released initially on FUK Stereophonic Gramophone in 1997, the tracks are remastered and join two previously unheard cuts from the project that were found in a box of dates and thought lost to time.

Opener ‘The Brain Is’ is a mix of wiry electronics featuring blissed-out ambient synths with turbocharged beats. Add in progressive techno melodies that will get the floor pumping and you have a widescreen and atmospheric gem. The brilliant ‘Virtually You’ is an almost eight-minute trip with elastic basslines and bouncing drums all doused in lush cosmically minded pads and starry-eyed melodies that have you gazing off into the future. ‘Vapour Trails’ then gets a little deeper and heads down with warming pads and waves of subtle vocal cries that make the skin tingle. It’s a physical yet sensuous sound, and last of all, ‘One Piano’ brings hints of trance and prog to the thudding drums and fizzled synths, which all surge through a late night sky with a great sense of poignancy and artful craft.

Mike Wells is the man behind the Force Mass Motion project, drawing on years of experience as an underground DJ, producer, and label owner. In his storied career, he has done it all, from helping to shape the sound of rave, UK hardcore, and jungle to pioneering the nu-school breaks sound. His music has come on esteemed like Mute, Rabbit City, Lot49 and Kingsize Records and now on his own Force Mass Motion Recordings.

We are presenting ‘The Brain Is’.

‘Vapour Trail’ EP will be available after the 11th of October HERE.

Mike Wells has been a core part of the contemporary underground scene almost since day one. He was there and helping to shape the sound of rave, UK hardcore and jungle, then sat at the forefront of the nu-school breaks revolution. He has appeared on plenty of notable labels from Rabbit City to Lot49 to Kingsize Records, but now takes care of business himself on Force Mass Motion Recordings.

The opener ‘In Your Eyes’ has elastic drum funk designed purely for the club with filtered vocals adding the human touch. Well-designed acid lines, big hits and smeared chords keep things dynamic as the writhing groove powers on. The fantastic ‘Oh Ecstasy’ will have dancers in raptures with its explosive vocal cries and rave-ready synths. The artist’s signature blistering breakbeats power the track along through breakdowns and big drops, all of which build the tension to electric levels.

‘Ecstasy In Your Eyes’ EP is another potent offering of irresistible dance floor weaponry from Force Mass Motion.

We are presenting ‘Of Ecstasy’.

‘Ecstasy In Your Eyes’ EP will be available after the 8th of March HERE.

It is fair to say that Force Mass Motion is a legend of the UK’s hardcore, rave and jungle scene. The man born Mike Wells has always had a high rate and high-quality output and that has kept him at the heart of the underground since he first emerged in 1989. While he pioneered a nu-school breaks sound and has released on influential labels like Lot49, Kingsize Records and Rabbit City Records, he is now on his own imprint and channeling his earliest musical loves once more.

Opener ‘You’ll Never Be Alone’ is an all-out dance floor banger with throwback hardcore stabs and a pitched-up female vocal that brings the euphoria. The punchy breakbeats power it along as fills, sustained chords and bouncing bass all flesh out this full-flavour classic.

Energy levels remain just as high on ‘Back to Back’, with its tightly coiled drums and restless synths darting about the mix. Vocal stabs and manic acid lines keep things bubbling as the tension rises and the heat on the dance floor rises to boiling point.

These are two brilliantly contemporary takes on an authentic and irresistible old school sound.

We are presenting ‘You’ll Never Be Alone’.

‘You’ll Never Be Back’ EP will be available after the 2nd of September HERE.

Force Mass Motion, aka Mike Wells, was instrumental in many of the UK’s nascent scenes, notably of the UK Rave, Hardcore and the early 00s nu-skool breaks movement. Wells has been producing music since 1989 and was discovered by Colin Faver, who ran the legendary 90s label Rabbit City Records. Throughout the 90s, FMM took the scene by storm, releasing a string of records on the catalogue before launching his self-titled imprint, and continued to release music prolifically.

We are presenting FMM’s latest single ‘Hung Drawn And Slaughtered’ which showcases his prowess for producing powerful dancefloor anthems as the twisting synths and zappy melodies bounce smack bang off the belting breakbeats throughout the cut.

‘Hung Drawn And Slaughtered’ will be available on the 3rd of September HERE.
