Per Martinsen AKA Mental Overdrive is one of Norwegian dance music's founding fathers. Alongside friends such as Bjorn Torske, Biosphere, Rune Lindbaek and DJ Strangefruit, Martinsen was integral in laying the foundations of Norway's now blossoming dance music scene during the late 1980s and early 90s. As a producer, he cut his teeth making house, techno and hardcore for Belgian imprints SSR and R&S Records at the turn of the '90s. He
was a regular at the R&S studio in Ghent, programming and mixing for other artists including Joey Beltram. Since then, Per has continued to produce and release quality electronic music, both under his Mental Overdrive alias (see releases on Full Pupp, Smalltown Supersound, Rett i Fletta and his own Love OD Communications imprint), and as part of outfits such as Frost (alongside his other half, Aggie Peterson) and Illumination/ Chilluminati. Per is featured heavily in Ben Davis and Pete Jenkinson's documentary film chronicling the rise of Norwegian
dance music, 'Northern Disco Lights'. In addition to appearing on screen, he also wrote the incidental music featured on the soundtrack. He is also on a continuing mission to overthrow the evil empire of global capitalism through several projects touching in on other fields of artistic expression, and is very pleased that Juno Records once tagged him a "Weekend Situationist" in one of their reviews. His new album "Epilogue" will be released on Sept 22
2017 through Prins Thomas' Techno/Not Techno label Rett i Fletta.

Per Martinsen on Epilogue:

As for EPILOGUE it has been quite long in the making compared to some of my other albums. The main reason for this I think is that when I and Thomas started talking about me doing a new release for Rett i Fletta, we agreed that I would just keep sending him tracks over time that I thought would fit a new album, and then discuss how we both could see it coming together. I also let Thomas have stems of all the tracks so he could do adjustments where he saw the need, instead of us talking back and forth in lengthy conversations and then sending new versions. As well as being a great selector he is also a great arranger, so giving him the freedom to collaborate like this was a great opportunity and a nice break from having to do absolutely everything myself. On some tracks he also added some production elements, especially in "Hellbent", where my original version had a much heavier almost industrial vibe to it. Other tracks like "Shimr", which was the last track I submitted to the album, are left much more like I mixed and arranged them to begin with.
As for the sequence of tracks it's also Thomas' suggestion, and I think they fit very well in couples like this because the tracks were made over a longer timespan than usual, so you would have different phases where I was into different sounds and ideas.
All tracks were done in my studio here in Tromsø. Some in the dark period and some with the midnight sun shining through the windows. There's a lot of contrast in my surroundings here so maybe those contrasts will surface in the work I do also.

Thomas´ APOKALYPSO marks his return to Rett I Fletta almost exactly 3 years after he started it with BLUSJKETUTA and ÅPNE SLUSA.
And following a now famous Winston Churchill saying:
"This is not the End, not even the beginning of the End.
This ("Apokalypso") is … the End of the Beginning!

And the rest is History. Or simply great Tekno not Tekno.

Short about the producer:
Keita Sano is born in 1989 in Okayama. He has released music on more labels(1080p, Rett I Fletta, Let's Play House, Mister Saturday Night, Crue-L etc.) than forests have trees. He makes a technoid yet lo-fi version of music for discotheques that's uniquely his own. He should be playing a venue near you soon, if the world is fair...

My first meeting with Keita Sano
A little over a year ago I spent a day off in the lovely seaside town Enoshima. There is a
really nice club, cafe and concert venue there called Oppa-La which I had played the previous night. So my dear friend and japanese promoter Hagi tells me we should go back there the following night as there will be local bands playing followed by a live-set from Keita Sano. I was only vaguely familiar with his music but had noticed his name crop up more and more frequently so off we went.
a couple of beers later and around the third track in : somehow managing to merge the playfullness of disco with the physical impact of techno I'm sold there and then.
over a friendly chat and more beers later I clumsily present an offer to release his music and hopefully even all the things he played that night. a few days later the album as you hold in front of you AND more or less a replica of that live-set arrives in my inbox.

Keita Sano is part of Japan's new wave of music producers and he´s been on our map since a very long while.

With releases on Let´s Play House, Mister Saturday Night, 1080p, Lower Parts, Row, Strictly Groove Recordings, Enother Blessing, Holic Trax and Spring Theory Keito
He´s not only not unknown to us but
has shown his eclectic taste and zany approach to music at home and aboard.
And his first 4 Track EP offering for your´s truly does proved that once more so .
The Okayama resident has been weaving his way through house, techno and electronica releases displaying an affinity to old school processes and vintage gear which you can hear in every bit of his classy unmistakable sound.
Raw, rugged & slightly alarming but dry and focused to a massive funk attitude, is this the actual "big room underground"?

However, be it the top or water dripping cellar floor this is modern analogue techno at it´s most stringent - and hey there´s a full album it coming later this year.

"Reinvented" 21 year old Norwegian techno classic by Mental Overdrive gets the expanded and remastered treatment on Full Pupp's "techno not techno"offshoot Rett I Fletta!

Per Martinsen aka Mental Overdrive and "Plugged", two elementary techno Classics from Norway.

Per Martinsen was born in the Arctic town of Tromsø in Northern Norway in 1966, and spent his teens listening to imported records and tapes filled with electronic (and some non-electronic) music stemming mainly from the UK and Germany. He first entered the world of music-making by playing drums in local post-punk outfits, but moved on to electronic instruments when he bought his own Roland TR-808 drum machine in 1983.

Setting out on a mission to connect to the sources of his inspiration, he ended up in London in 1987, where he spent his days squatting in Hackney and working as an assistant programmer in This Heat's seminal Cold Storage studio in Brixton.

Hit by the wave of Chicago house and Detroit techno invading London at the time, he soon found himself experimenting with making beats inspired by these new sounds merged with the 80's sounds he was accustomed to from his pre-London era, like industrial music and EBM.

A cassette tape with some of these beats was given to a close friend, who at the time was signed to Belgium's Crammed Discs, and this earned him an invitation to fly over for a series of studio sessions in Brussels courtesy of the label. The sessions led to several 12" singles being released by Crammed in 1988.

Most notable of these was his collaboration with Minimal Compact's Samy Birnbach (aka DJ Morpheus), with the release of the single "Hallucination Generation" under the moniker "The Gruesome Twosome" in 1989. The single was licensed by Crammed to Nettwerk Records in the US, and peaked at number 9 on Billboard's dance chart in the company of the likes of Madonna, Janet Jackson and Depeche Mode.

Freaked out by the notion of being sucked into the capitalist machine of the big music industry that usually followed chart success, Per ran away from Brussels and went clubbing at Gent's Boccaccio club instead. Here he met Renaat Vandepapeliere of R&S Records, and soon found himself doing sessions with David Morley and Joey Beltram at the R&S headquarters, resulting in the release of his first EP under the Mental Overdrive moniker in 1990.

A series of EP's for R&S followed, and after relocating to Norway after some time, the debut album "Plugged" was released on his own label Love OD Communications in 1995. The album moved on from the more industrial-inspired techno bangers of the early EP's, and showed a more mellow side of Per as an artist and producer. More laid back, but not content with leaving the sounds of his machines unprocessed and without a personal signature, he commissioned two students at Trondheim's technical university to construct the "Distortotron", which is believed to be the world's first "bit crusher". The effect was used throughout the album, and led the mastering engineer to return the DAT-tape at first listen with the note: "Please send new master copy. This one is fucked."


Cue summer 2014:
Daniel Blackbelt Andersen brought his shabby copy of "Plugged" along to one of the regular Full Pupp shindigs and played Prins Thomas a couple of the slightly more "ambient" tracks off the album stating it would be a dream come true to remix all of these tracks and that he'd spoken to Per about getting hold of the stems, if any.
A borrowed copy and a phone call to Per later we not only get the thumbs up to go ahead with the plan of reissueing the whole album and throw in a couple of new remixes but he goes through his archives and finds the original Akai S 3000 formatted floppy disks, all the premasters on DAT AND last but not least all the alternative takes and unreleased tracks that did not make it to the finished album.

A note from Thomas:

Being relatively new on the "Oslo"scene back in 1995 I missed out on "Plugged"the first time around even though knowing your Per was mandatory, being the grand old man of the norwegian techno scene and all.
I later got to know Per but his catalogue was already too big to get the full overview of his artistic past.
I've been working on and off with Per on a few releases for Full Pupp through the years and we had already started talking about some sort of reissue-project when Blackbelt dumped this record and already half formed idea in my lap.
Originally released as a 2xLP in a plastic sleeve and the fact that quite a few of the tracks either had peculiar fade-ins, odd countdowns and dj-unfriendly format I thought there's enough reasons to do a new cut already there.
Then while going through the piles of unreleased tracks and unused takes I felt there was an even better record hidden in there. This time around I found material justifying an expanded 3 disc version and there's still some bits left which hopefully sees the light of day at some point. The sleeve has been lovingly redesigned to match this "expanded"edition by our dear Eirik Seu Stokkmo at Metric Design so a good couple of reasons to grab this new version if you're the lucky owner of the original record.

Says Peer: "So, after digging out my old DAT-player, my old Akai S3000, my old floppy archive and DAT-tape collection, I sent everything off to Thomas,and after some time he sent me back his edits and selections of alternative mixes, and then the new remixes. I guess for me the main thing now is to try to hear the material with "new ears", and enjoy the distance in time from when I originally made the tracks. But I also enjoy hearing the slightly different angle that Thomas and Daniel have brought out in the alternative selections, edits, remixes and new mastering, and now I can't wait to have the vinyl edition to play out and blend into contemporary selections of music to hear how it all fits in."

We hope this record sounds as fresh to your ears as ours, 21 years after it's initial release. And if this whole thing wets your appetite then
do look forward to spanking new material from Per on Rett I Fletta later this year

PS:RIF007LP/CD will be closely followed by the RIF008 12" which besides containing 2 remixes from Blackbelt Andersen of tracks from "Plugged"will
also include a previously unreleased version of "Disto Disco" and a Prins Thomas "reconstruction"of the faulty audio experiment "Yeeh".

Londons Joseph Russel signs for funkdriven quirky chicago techno but A 1, Drums of lagos, stands out of many. What starts like a sturdy minimalist drum and snare pattern monotrack turns inti a discotech monster all at once and seemingly oout of almost nowhere. and once the surprise "swingbreak" of the track get´s you hooked there no stopping. a mesmeriozing driving, rhythmic affair - endlessly grooving and 101% dull free. hot , hot , hot.
With Karma Shirr, Razz Comic and Oink Master keeping the pace there´s a plead of quality here, an explosion of ultradynamic, unconventionall, rhythmic techno - with a somehwat classic chicago sounding nice old skool vibe that sounds really modern in fact. crackling col and fun dancefloor techno for finer floors, and dj´s to have and behold.
Written, produced and performed by Joseph Russell, apart from track A2_KARMA SHIRR which features guitar performed by Mark Harris, final mixdown by Prins Thomas.
