Planetary Assault Systems 'KAT' (Mote Evolver)
Luke Slater’s P.A.S. alias gets busy on Mote Evolver with ‘KAT’. There’s something about the tribal-esque rhythm that wraps you around its little finger immediately. Tabla-sounding drums collide with deep, warm bass while skittish percussion drives the track forward.Slowly, a repeated vocal clip works its way from the background into the foreground and back again. Slater’s clever use of modulation and creeping progression keeps you locked in for the duration.
