  • British techno legend Luke Slater is a man of many aliases. He’s probably best known for his work as Planetary Assault Systems, a moniker under which he’s been releasing tough, drum-machine-focused techno since the mid-’90s but Slater’s prolific body of work also touches on ambient electronics, acid, house, psychedelic dance music and crossover electro-pop, working as aliases including The 7th Plain, Clementine and LSD, as well as under his own name.
    As he prepares to release his new album as L.B. Dub Corp, Saturn to Home, we visited Slater in his gear-stuffed studio to learn more about his creative process.
    L.B. Dub Corp - Saturn to Home is out 24 May via Dekmantel
    You Got Me ft Robert Owner is out now

    Luke Slater, Jeff Mills and Richie Hawtin all managed to explore that minimal and hypnotic rough side of techno, while still keeping it elegant and intellectual. Truly, music for the heart, mind and body

      I’m from Glasgow and it’s such a shame when some of the legends come through here or Edinburgh. A lot of people my ages and below (I’m 25) just don’t appreciate or want to dig into the older stuff

    • @Lardossa
      @Lardossa Місяць тому +1

      Clubbing days are a rarity now as priorities have changed but don't feel I'm missing too much tbh.
      Bookings in Glasgow are largely pish and sad to see this ultra-high BPM fad taking a real grip of the scene which has been known for it's authenticity in terms of electronic music.
      A bit "old man yells at cloud" admittedly and there is quality definitely still out there but it's a bit depressing.
      However everything is cyclical and it will change again.
      Enjoy your remaining mwi years my man! Treasure them.
