"Mental Overdrive is Norway's Per Martenson, famous since 1990 for his productions on Belgian superlabel R&S, Music Man, Discfunction, Smalltown Supersound, Virgin and his own Love OD Communications imprint out of Norway. Prins Thomas has long been a fan and snapped up the chance to release 'Spooks' and the tasty flipside track 'Original Material' in a flash." Here's what IDJ Magazine had to say: 'Mental Overdrive (former techno boffin Per Martinsen) back and in fine fettle. 'Spooks' is an equally jolly six minutes of lolloping funk which sees a fat, rounded bassline trundling along the fjords while some of Bjørn Torske's synth loops pass overhead. 'Original Material' is highly enjoyable too, coming on like some long-lost Scandinavian cousin of ESG's 'Moody'."

"Per Martinsen aka Mental Overdrive shouldn't need any introduction, being the granddad of the Norwegian electronic music scene and all. Hidden away in a little snowcave near the polar circle, he's currently preparing the bits that eventually will become his debut album for Full Pupp. We've heard some bits and though we'd like to keep them all under the lid for a little while longer, here's a little sneak peek of what he's done and hopefully preparing you for his unique take on modern dance music, taking in elements of new wave, new beat, Detroit and dubstep on the way. Per unleashed this on us at one of the Full Pupp nights in Oslo and recently we saw how it took the roof off at Fabric. For the b-side, we paired Per up with the equally Detroit-loving Blackbelt Andersen which gives us a hi-speed samba techno work out with a unhealthy deep bass. Seriously, just because we can't write proper release sheets doesn't mean the music's not good."
