3. ROBERT HOOD – ‘PROTEIN VALVE’ (EDIT 2)

Following Robert Hood’s remixes of his Floorplan tracks ‘Never Grow Old’ and ‘Phobia’ in June, he’s back with new edits of ‘Protein Valve’, originally released on M-Plant in 1994, the year of the label’s inception.

As well as other early releases like ‘Internal Empire’, ‘Music Data’ and ‘Moveable Parts’, ‘Protein Valve’ helped set the standard for his M-Plant label becoming synonymous with a stripped down, tough and rhythmic raw sound that many artists still try to emulate.

The original ‘Protein Valve EP’ is a classic in the annals of Techno, which still gets played today and sounds as fresh as it did some 20 years ago.  Nevertheless Robert Hood takes an introspective look back and delivers these three incredible new edits!

Focussing on the bass elements these fresh versions keep the M-Plant ethos at their core with their pure efficiency and Hood’s mastery at getting right to the point of a track, with his focus always on the groove.

B - Robert Hood - Protein Valve Edit 2 MASTER (Snippet)

DJ Richard has taken 'Werk' by Radio Slave and turned it on its head by employing dream-like synths, demonic tones and erratic drums. It's cosmic, super deep and just what we expected from the White Material co-founder.

Premiere: Radio Slave 'Werk' (DJ Richard Remix)

Un poquito de reflexión, trip y kinkineo. 

lost in blurriness

Lando and Xavier keep the coals hot after they first locked horns earlier this year. Power House Rhythm Unit, which landed in April on Facetoface, was gundam techno with feels; the EP namesake was a particular nerve-tingler, comprised of a sturdy 4/4 exoskeleton topped by an insistent, repeating vocal blurt.

"The Switch" manoeuvres along a similar trajectory: a raw machine driven house-techno hybrid. It's hypnotic and alluring in equal measure featuring a synth line that vaguely resembles Bob James' "Nautilus" opening.

The Switch EP is the eighth package to come from the TANSTAAFL PLANETS imprint. Catch the release on November 6th.
