Mothership transmission 027 – Maetrik The “Space Chronic” EP was the biggest selling record on mothership last year and for good reason. Maetrik has an incredible knack for innovative and original sound design. He is also able to package these sounds inside great arrangements and very DJ friendly beats. This is what really separates his records from the rest of the “sound design” experts. “Show Me” is the perfect example of Maetrik’s amazing talents. After several minutes of a super funky techno groove (2 thing that’s don’t usually go together) we find ourselves at the drop. And this drop is one of the best we’ve ever heard. It sounds like an angry wasp is flying full speed through the inside of your brain. The riff will melt your mind. “Simpleman” on the other side is a great example of Maetrik’s versatility. You might be expecting a hardcore techno bit but instead we hear a very groovy, almost reserved jazz techno fusion joint, but still with the heavy beats to keep it real for the clubs.
