Someone lit a fire under Josh for this one...really dug deep and brought that old Wink back. This track carries so many memories.

Luke Slater’s most well known pseudonym Planetary Assault Systems is back in the fullest swing with 'No Exit', a standalone EP following his famed 'Deep Heet' installment series. 'No Exit' unmistakably bears all the hallmarks of Planetary Assault System, from mind-tripping and floor-stirring hypnotic energy to the theme of pushing the outer limits of unknown territories.
The EP kicks off with the title track, at its first breath of rolling beat already infusing an ample dose of psychedelic madness, which only to be intensified with the layers of digital chime tones that are constantly multiplying and shape-shifting. “Undertow” on the B side continues with the signature warping and reverberating bells and bleeps but this time with enticing hi-hats and distorted bass, gradually all melting into one big sinister groove. The last track of the EP “Nanendi” might fool you in the beginning with its minimalistic beat, but as soon as the demure yet ominous veil of melody - beautifully moody and almost spooky at times - starts humming and howling, it’s well on its way to make a deep, haunting emotional connection while keeps the tension boiling. Without a doubt 'No Exit' EP is the one that shows the most distinctive core DNA of Planetary Assault Systems and much like his seminal album The Messenger, it’s a deadly unique, dazzling, and powerfully effective work that will stand the test of time.

The A1 title track sets the deep foundation with a tense ambient soundscape trip, before “Bleep Blues” continues with a sci - fi as well as drum heavy workout on the A2. Rounding off the A - s ide, “Protovision” explores unk n own textured realms and highlighted stabs in key moments.

On the B - s ide, “Fog” drives a journey between the dark and the light, with a rhythmic but moving low - end and an effective gritty lead, while the B2 continues with a stretched light pad fighting with a repet i tive bleep. “DT229” closes the record, diving into broken rhythms and more melodic spheres.

A1 Confusion – Vakuum
A2 Confusion – Bleep Blues
A3 Confusion – Protovision

Vakuum EP

Protovision

Premiere: Confusion — Protovision [VAKUUM001]

@EtappKyle’s first full Ostgut Ton EP release sees the Ukrainian-born, Berlin-based Berghain resident emphasizing the connection between spaces, while avoiding Techno’s overt intergalactic clichés. By partially linking to his ‘Continuum EP’ (Unterton, 2016), the results are four tracks of pristine, sci-fi minimalism, propelled by Ambient synths and percussive explosions in distant skies – more utopian than dystopian.

Rrose 'Waterfall' (Lucy Remix) [EAUX491]

Mathew Jonson is a phenomenon in electronic music. For nearly 40 years he has forged a sound instantly recognisable on the dance floor – often copied but impossible to imitate. Raw, analogue, and alive, he is a master of real-time performance who shapes drum machines and synthesisers into unforgettable journeys, making every show a one-off experience. From underground clubs to sold-out concert halls and collaborations with orchestras, Jonson’s name guarantees a performance of rare intensity and musicality.

His career took off in the early 2000s with influential releases on Perlon, Kompakt, M_nus, Cocoon, and ITISWHATITIS Recordings, a label where he released his very first record in 2001 and which he later acquired. Anthems like "Marionette" and "Decompression" established him as a producer of rare vision, while his live sets quickly became must-see events, consistently ranked among Resident Advisor’s top acts. During this period he was voted Best International Producer twice in Germany’s Groove Magazine, a testament to his impact on the European techno landscape, and went on to appear on the covers of DJ Mag, Groove, Synmag, and other leading publications. Unlike many, Jonson avoids the use of samples for melodic content, instead writing, performing, mixing and producing everything himself – even contributing his own voice and percussion – giving his music a depth and identity that is entirely his own.

Jonson’s discography spans era-defining singles and albums across labels like Crosstown Rebels and Fabric, where his "Fabric 84" mix captured the spirit of his live sets with unreleased edits and classics performed in real time. His two solo studio albums, "Agents Of Time" (2010, Wagon Repair) and "Her Blurry Pictures" (2013, Crosstown Rebels), expanded his scope even further – balancing intricate dance floor energy with explorations of deeper, more introspective sounds. He is currently working on his third studio album, a collaborative project featuring many artists living in Lisbon, where he now resides. His remix work is equally renowned, covering a wide spectrum of electronic music’s most influential figures. He has reimagined The Chemical Brothers ("Believe", "The Boxer"), Moby ("Slipping Away"), Cybotron ("Clear"), Kevin Saunderson ("Good Life"), Plastikman ("Plastique"), VCMG – Vince Clarke & Martin Gore ("Single Blip"), Goldie ("Redemption"), Josh Wink ("Higher State of Consciousness"), The Martinez Brothers ("No Pop"), Rone ("Nouveau Monde"), Joseph Capriati ("Love Changed Me"), Stephan Bodzin ("Tron"), and Alan Fitzpatrick ("Something Wonderful"), as well as crossover work with Nelly Furtado. These remixes underline his rare ability to bridge underground innovation with mainstream resonance.

He has also expanded beyond the club and festival circuit, collaborating with the Zurich Tonhalle Orchestra and performing a sold-out show at the Berlin Philharmonie with Cobblestone Jazz. With that group, Jonson recorded two albums for the iconic !K7 label, further cementing their reputation as one of electronic music’s most respected live acts. Another landmark moment came with "Cinemix": a world premiere performance of a newly composed soundtrack for the silent film "Faust", created live by Jonson alongside Tyger Dhula, Danuel Tate, and Hrdvsion.

Beyond performance, Jonson has continued to innovate. In 2019 he launched Freedom Engine and its debut album "A Box Full Of Magic", followed by the creation of the Freedom Engine Academy – an educational platform built with handpicked mentors to pass on knowledge and foster collaboration. Now preparing to launch its 5th annual edition in 2026, the Academy has become a vital space for nurturing the next generation of electronic musicians.

Now, 25 years since his debut "New Identity" and nearly 40 years since first making electronic music, Jonson is preparing to celebrate a milestone anniversary in his career. Represented in Europe by LittleBig, his current projects include Freedom Engine, his collaboration with Âme, and his ongoing solo work as Mathew Jonson. A pioneer, a mentor, and an artist in constant motion, Mathew Jonson continues to shape the future of electronic music with every performance and release.
