Ear Candy: PLANETARY ASSAULT SYSTEMS

“Time to bring the funk and intensity back in a new way. Time to open the sound again”, says Luke Slater about his new Planetary Assault Systems album 'Temporary Suspension,' which was released on Ostgut Ton at the end of last month. Funk and intensity, that’s how the Brit who's successfully searched for new ways of expression in electronic music for the past 20 years, pinpoints the essence of his latest LP. Never satisfied with exploring just one aspect in music, Planetary Assault Systems has always been Luke’s pseudonym for hard and uncompromising techno. A rough and highly energetic sound, Luke's tested and pushed his musical limits since releasing his first tracks in 1989 as PAS; almost all of his releases under that name on Peacefrog have become classics of the genre. Being a resident at Berghain for quite a while now, it was the logical next step for Luke to become a part of the vibrant Ostgut Ton family. “Ostgut Ton makes excellent use of art and music and that’s what attracted me to the label in the first place, the music and the art. And that's very much in line with the way I think and feel.” he says. Get familiar with Slater’s most influential project, Planetary Assault Systems – he’s been kind enough to give us a mix as a divine introduction.
