Berlin-based producer Pascal Hetzel’s 2022 album ASLM gets a fresh reimagining with the ASLM Remixes LP. Featuring reworks by a handpicked selection artists, this remix collection breathes new life into the original tracks, offering a diverse range of sounds that stay true to the album’s dystopian and futuristic essence.

The remix LP opens with JakoJako’s take on RBBRMN, transforming the track into a broken-beat cut with pitched-down electronics. It’s an ideal opener, setting a futuristic and moody tone that draws you in. Next, GAEL reworks TWST into a bass-heavy, hypnotic cut. With underwater-y atmospheres, ethereal textures, and a stomping kick drum, the track builds into an emotional sequence that feels both haunting and cathartic.

Kaiser steps up with a deep and groovy remix of SLT, delivering a driving force from start to finish. Liquid synths, frantic pads, and bell-like percussion create a sense of momentum that pulls you into oblivion. Projekt Gestalten takes SLT in his own direction, injecting acid textures and frantic atmospheres into the mix. This version is raw, dirty, and guaranteed to ignite chaos on late-night sets.

Closing the LP, Luis Flores reimagines PPPR as a noisy, power-driven cut. Balancing emotion with relentless energy, Flores adds his signature touch of controlled madness, making it a standout.

The ASLM Remixes LP not only pays homage to Pascal Hetzel’s original vision but also showcases the versatility of his work through the unique perspectives of each remixer.

Set to release on April 4th, 2025, via Arkham Audio.

TONKASSETTE ist eine Eventreihe für elektronische Musik mit einer starken Leidenschaft für Techno. 2017 in Leipzig von Sledge und befreundeten Künstler*innen aus Clubs und Kollektiven gegründet, ist sie fest in der lokalen Szene verwurzelt.

Die TONKASSETTE Podcast-Serie präsentiert auf SoundCloud regelmäßig handverlesene DJ-Mixe von Künstler*innen aus Leipzig. 
Die TONKASSETTE Mix-Serie wird ausschließlich von Sledge gestaltet und versteht sich als Plattform für seine Definition von Techno.

Musikalisch ist Sledge seit jeher dem puristischen Techno-Sound zugetan – Techno in seiner reinsten Form: kompromisslos, roh, direkt und klar strukturiert. Mit einem Arbeitstempo zwischen 135 und 142 BPM verlieren seine Sets nie den Groove, selbst wenn es mal etwas rauer zur Sache geht. Bei Sledge steht das Mixing im Vordergrund, wobei er sich auf minimalistische Strukturen stützt. Dabei verbindet er futuristisches Sounddesign mit dem Geist des 90er-Jahre-Techno und formt so seine ganz eigene Definition von Techno.
