Mixtape: Edit-Select present Luke Slater

Event preview by Jaco Justice.
Published 27 February 2009

Mixtape delivers more from the techno vaults of fame, this time the homegrown upfront rumblings of key scene-upriser Luke Slater aka Planetary Assault Systems. Hailed originally as a torchbearer for the Detroit sound’s arrival on UK shores 2009 will indeed mark the 20th anniversary of his first vinyl release. Returning from a relatively low-key couple of years his revised physical image will surely assist his firm dark roots in acid-tinged beats and his long-standing pioneering productions in what the kids insist on branding minimal. The night is hosted by Edit-Select’s Tony Scott (Percy X/Soma) whose own brand-reshuffle has boosted the namesake label (and the event's) profile, with much of the published material making its way to the dance-floors at the forefront of the genre. There’s lots more to come from this monthly Edit-Select/Snafu collaboration and the same should be said of Luke Slater who's new album will undoubtably showcase tonight.
