A true legend lands on the latest SPND20 Mixtape 📼: @luke-slater joins the fold with a rare live set recording, captured in the thick of touring his ‘Sky Scraping’ album on Token. Recorded live, this set channels the intensity and precision that only decades of experience can deliver. Pure hardware power, relentless tension, and deep, mind-bending grooves. This is techno at its most alive.🔊

Luke Slater’s legacy runs deep. Over the last three decades, the UK-born artist has shaped electronic music under many monikers - while running the influential Mote-Evolver label and constantly pushing the boundaries of sound design, structure, and club impact. From early Warp releases to Berghain classics, he’s never stopped innovating.

The release of Temporary Suspension on Ostgut Ton in 2009 marked the powerful return of Slater as Planetary Assault Systems - reigniting the fire of classic techno and setting the tone for a new era of live performance.
This recording is a snapshot of that exact energy: deep, hypnotic, and unrelenting. Expect pure techno power from one of its most vital architects. 🎛️

We’re honored to have him join the mixtape series. Play it loud. This one’s from the source.🖤

Glasgow’s @garybeck steps up for the latest SPND20 Mixtape!📼

A true legend of the scene, Gary has been influencing techno with his signature sound since his emergence in 2007. With a career shaped by dedication to his craft, he’s earned deep respect from peers and dancers alike - and has stayed true to his roots every step of the way. Known for his unmistakable sound and a catalog that includes releases on Soma, Mutual Rytm and his own label BEK Audio, his music carries weight, but always with a focus on groove and movement.

For this mix, Gary invites us into his creative world with a selection made up almost entirely of unreleased personal material (some of it might be landing sooner than you think - so keep those ears open!)👂. A raw, rolling journey that reflects how he approaches DJing: direct, honest, and flowing from start to finish. Recorded simply on an A&H Xone 92 and three CDJ2000 Nexus II, it’s less about dramatic peaks but more about sustained energy - staying in the zone and letting the rhythm speak.

Press play and get lost in it.🔊

Our new SPND20 Mixtape comes from none other than the mighty @official-mr-g. 📼

If you know, you know: Mr. G is one of dance music’s true originals. From the early days in the legendary KCC crew and his influential work as half of The Advent, to decades of solo output under his own name, Colin McBean has never strayed from his roots. With releases on Rekids, Moods ‘n’ Grooves, Defected, and his own long-running Phoenix G imprint, his raw, bass-heavy electronic-tech-funk sound has moved floors and minds all over the world.

Now, for one of his rare mixtape appearances, we’re honored to share this special vinyl-only piece from his archive.

Recorded on two Technics 1210's and a Rane MP2015 mixer and mixed down to CD with added weight, the mix had been sleeping for years until Mr. G pressed play and surprised even himself. It’s meditative, deep, and packed with the personality you only get when the machines are running hot. It captures the raw energy, honesty, and unmistakable feel that only Mr. G can deliver: just pure groove, and even a cheeky cable cut halfway through that adds to the charm.

It’s not often he shares this side, so we’re grateful he let us dig it out. For us, it’s a perfect snapshot of where he comes from and what he still brings to the table today. A true original.

So you better put on those headphones and dive deep into this one!🔊

New SPND20 Mixtape in: welcome Function!📼

One of techno’s true underground heroes, Function steps in with a mix that captures the essence of his club sound: deep, dark, hypnotic and intensely layered. Cerebral yet physical, this set distills over 30 years of experience into a rolling trip that’s as uncompromising as it is immersive.

Recorded in Berlin with a Xone 96, with Function’s signature sound design woven throughout, the mix bridges heavyweight classics and future-shaping material. Kicking off with Nastia Reigel’s massive new remix of his own Disaffected, it showcases three tracks from her upcoming debut album Identity (out September 26 on Infrastructure).

The selection runs wide: from Regis, Rødhâd, LSD, Nørbak, Nastia Reigel, Ignez, Rene Wise, Silent Servant, Alarico and UFO95 to unreleased gems by Filippo Scorcucchi - alongside Function’s own productions, edits and textures. The result is a hypnotic, high-pressure session built for the club’s inner core, designed for maximum immersion and intensity.

A rare insight into the craft of one of techno’s most enduring innovators. Expect a journey that tunnels deep, bends time, and refuses to let go. 🖤

New SPND20 Mixtape! In session: @gaston-volpe 📼

Straight from Buenos Aires, Volpe knows how to turn grooves into full-body experiences. A regular at Berlin’s Tresor, RSO and Berghain, he’s also left his mark as a producer with releases on a.r.t.less, Mitsubasa, Frenzy, and Sungate. Through his own imprint Transcend, he champions timeless sounds that cut across genres while keeping the focus on depth and groove.

This SPND20 Mix captures that spirit in motion: a live jam on the Ableton Push 3, weaving unreleased cuts and reworked remixes into a high-energy ride. Rolling drums, jazzy progressions, and waves of delay and echo pull Detroit and Dub techno into dialogue with tribal house and Latin/Cuban/African rhythms. Raw, fluid, and glowing with Volpe’s unmistakable touch - precision layered with freedom, structure fused with soul.

Tune in and let the groove move you. 🖤
