WIP 5

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.

When you're talking about techno, few names have been innovating and evolving as much as Robert Hood. When he's not running things over at M-Plant, he can be found touring the festival circuit with his live show and releasing tonnes of fresh new material.

Today we concentrate on his more melodic alias and under the name Floorplan, Hood has released a stunning album showcasing a slightly different yet equally strong sound.

A new EP is set to drop featuring two re-edits of tracks that appeared on his Floorplan album 'Paradise'. 'Phobia' and 'Never Grow Old' have been given a special Re-Plant and we have the premiere of the latter.

Matt Edwards (Radio Slave) returns to his Rekids label under the guise of B.A.D.S (Berlin Amateur Dramatics Society) - a new project cooked up with Spencer Parker and Francesco de Nittis aka Mr Ties, in order to release this track he made especially for an appearance at de Nittis' Homopatik party at Berlin's About Blank last year. 

Since debuting the track it has gone on to become not only an anthem for the party itself (the a capella has become a regular a favourite Mr Ties opener for Homopatik sets), but a go-to crowdpleaser for a handful of DJs such as Nina Kraviz who have drawn for its infections energy over the past year. 

Imbued with all the infamous mischief of Homopatik and the historical clubbing lineage the party is rooted within within, Hous-O-Matik Hom-O-Patik does everything you would expect it to: it gets the party started. B.A.D.S will return later in the year with Spencer Parker and Mr Ties' own versions of the track.

It’s a rare moment in the life of Robert Hood’s M-Plant label when he hands over to another producer, but no surprise that he should pick Mark Broom for the next release, seeing as he’s previously been entrusted to provide edits of Hood’s tracks for the label’s 20th Anniversary celebrations (MPM19) and is currently tearing up dancefloors with his unreleased dubplate mix of Floorplan’s ‘Never Grow Old’.

The original version of ‘Stunned’ was released on Mark Broom & Dave Hill’s renowned Pure Plastic label back in 1997. The “97 Mix” featured here started as a live mix of the track, which Mark has now tweaked for maximum dancefloor devastation.

It’s accompanied on the flip side by a brand new composition of equally outstanding quality. Broom is in fine form on ‘Decay’ with his tight production skills delivering the kind of tough, raw Techno that sits perfectly on M-Plant.

Hot off the presses, we've got the exclusive premiere of Dutch weirdo-house main man Legowelt's brainfying rerub of Baba Stiltz's "Cherry" — as Unknown to the Unknown boss DJ Haus puts it, "this is dat raw houz muzik 4 tha real Gz..." and we're inclined to agree.

Figure 73 introduces a new face to the family - Manchester-bread and now Berlin-based Setaoc Mass. After recently launching his own imprint SK_Eleven and putting out several releases that already tread in Figure's lineage of modern, high-precision techno, the label is thrilled to get this promising new artist on board.
The five-tracker shows Setaoc Mass at his most versatile yet and clearly displays the producer's talent for constructing both strong atmosphere as well as sheer dance-floor effectiveness.
Opener Mueh is a beatless brooding tool, endlessly building upon an eery SciFi-suspense. Far less reluctant and quick to up the tempo is Solo (Part One), contrasting fierce machinery against a crystalline melody that comes sprinkling from the stars above.
On the flipside Solo (Part Two) departs from the relentless thud of its predecessor, instead opting for an oldschool electro-pattern but keeping things far out in the orbit with absorbing emotive strings. Muffled Planet Earth only trickles through the lunar mist before the bellowing horns of Numb ferociously close out the EP.
With a statement this cohesive yet well rounded, Setaoc Mass ups his game considerably and proves himself a perfect addition to the international Figure stable.

"Hidden Truth" is an open window to the occult knowlegde, an initiation into the hermetic wisdom. Jonas Kopp delves into his characteristic sound. Direct, mental and mechanic in equal parts, the fifth release of this series comes full of classic and atemporal techno structures.

Spencer Parker returns to Radio Slave’s Rekids imprint for two stripped back cuts in the second installment of ‘No More Silly Club Songs’ this February.

The Work Them Records founder and Rekids regular dropped the first four track package last summer,
which was a series of tools produced with Parker’s own DJ sets in mind. Vol. 2 initiates with robust kicks and shuffling hats in ‘Silly Club Song No. 5’ whilst charismatic chords operate amongst drum rolls and a vocal crying out “dance”.

On the other hand, ‘No. 6’ follows a similar muscular aesthetic yet incorporates a ‘Reese’ inspired bassline as percussive elements rattle throughout.

Tracklist:
A: Silly Club Song No .5
B: Silly Club Song No. 6

Release date: 19th February 2016.
