1. Product Details
Emerging producer Tres Mortimer dishes out eight huge heaters on the highly-anticipated 'M1 City' release, a dedication to the mighty Korg M1, coming to Seth Troxler's Slacker 85. Kicking off 'M1 City' is the simplistic, but refined and booth-rattling 'Work That Body'. A crisp M1 stab is the main character in this, amplified by thunderous and high energy drums. Then there's 'Secrets', a house jam inspired by the likes of MK that utilizes TR-909 drums, a subtle rolling bassline, intimately whispered and soulfully sung vocal shots, and, of course, classic Korg M1 synth stabs. Together with dramatic contemporary builds, a highly danceable house smasher is formed. 'No More' is pure gasoline for the dancefloor. Tres pairs another barrage of clean M1 stabs with a rousing vocal sample that leads into, with the help of a rolling snare, another highly effective house drop. Following the extremely saucy 'Big Daddy' skit, we're dropped straight into 'One Of Those Nights', a show-stopping track complete with cutting, sharp stabs, a bulging bassy synth and a West Coast-esque synth sound. 'Bitch I'm From Chicago' feat. Gleebz is, as the title suggests, a dedication to the city where house music found it's name. Batting off all the poser cities like LA and Miami in the sassy lyrics, it embodies the spirit of Chicago with hefty kick drums and weighty chord stabs. At the tail end of the release, 'Let Me Go' and 'Love' (featuring vocalist 7000 (7K)), bring things to a rousing emotive close. Both tracks see Tres put clean vocals over piano riffs, giving off differing moods - the former is euphoric, the latter melancholic. Synths bubble beneath, and each track funnels their own respective house grooves, resulting in two tracks fit for both the dancefloor and headphones. Tres Mortiner explains: 'The M1 sound is classic. It automatically transports you back to those timeless house songs that never get old. For me, house music is all about connection. People experiencing a little moment of euphoria together when they hear a riff that they all know on the dance floor. That's what it's all about. With this project I wanted to tap into that 90s rave sound and spirit. I wanted it to sound like the OG Chicago rave scene.' 'M1 City is my first project to be released on vinyl. I think vinyl is very much alive. It's essentially for music connoisseurs now. I don't expect people to have a vinyl collection when all music is always available to everyone on their phones. Nevertheless, I love the idea of some random DJ finding this record in a shop in 10 years. Who knows what I'll be producing then?' Tres Mortimer is a key figure in Chicago's house scene, steadily building a strong following with his no-nonsense, dancefloor-driven sound. Drawing inspiration from his Polish roots, Tres has signed with major labels like Mad Decent, Insomniac's IN/Rotation, and Ministry of Sound, while also launching his own imprint, Optics Records. He made his mark with a clever rework of Zombies' 1968 hit 'Time Of The Season' (1M+ streams). Standout releases include his downtempo collaboration with plumpy, 'BAMBU,' and his latest single, 'At Night I Think Of You,' which was recently given a remix makeover by Seth Troxler and Nick Morgan. Slacker 85, launched in 2023, is the record label behind 'M1 City'. Founded by Seth Troxler, it aims to give a platform to 'oddball, esoteric and diverse sounds,' positioning itself as a counter to the polished, refined dance artists dominating the scene. Troxler, upon the label's launch, declared that he wanted to create something for 'the anti-hero, the kids who could have done it but didn't care to try'-essentially, 'the slacker.' So far, it's delivered a range of releases from artists like Jackmaster, Danny Daze, Dan McKie, and Andre Salmon, offering tracks rooted in house music's past but evolving within it's present boundaries. 'M1 City', this ode to a piece of gear that consistently finds itself at the heart of house music history, highlights Tres Mortimer's respect for and knowledge of the scene and it's key gear. Tre combines this admiration and inspiration of house music's greats with a modern sensibility, resulting in eight tracks worthy of today's dancefloors and today's ravers. Tracklisting: A1.
