MOTOR's performance last summer has been cited as the best live show in the history of Oslo (arguably even over Vitalic!) We are extraordinarly pleased to bring Bryan, Mr. No and Hugo back to Detroit, to the legendary CAID/Detroit Contemporay space.

"People have this tame image of live electronic music and we go out there and smash things up and spit in your face," states Bryan Black. For the man who used to programme Prince's keyboards as an in house technician at Paisley Park Studios in the 90s [and founding member of H3LLB3NT, Haloblack and XLover] knowingly confirms, "we make more noise than a guitar can make and that's what we enjoy doing." Whilst electronic live acts have merged further into the anonymity of the DJ booth over recent years, MOTOR guzzle petrol, bellow toxic fumes and roar from the stage as all three band members wrestle with vocal duties and (alter) egos over their instruments. Forging live gig energy into the sonic envelope of a club environment has enabled MOTOR to play live 'gig' tours with Nitzer Ebb across America and Europe as well as landmark club venues such as Frankfurt's Cocoon and Paris's Rex and festivals throughout Europe like Pukkelpop and Lowlands.

MOTOR's new LP Unhuman is now out on Mute.

GOUDRON's new EP Stiletto is now out on Interdimensional Transmissions.
