Mixtape: Edit-Select present Luke Slater

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.
