LUKE SLATER aka PLANETARY ASSAULT SYSTEMS
Luke Slater has been at the forefront of UK electronic music since the early ‘90s with a string of brilliant releases under a number of guises including Clementine, 7th Plain and Planetary Assault Systems. In 1996 Luke remixed Joey Beltrams ‘Forklift’ with the track quickly becoming an underground anthem and one of the most played tracks in the Adelaide techno scene, getting dropped at parties and clubs for many years.

After signing to Novamute in 1997, Luke dropped his groundbreaking album ‘Freek Funk’. This and the follow up 1999 album ‘Wireless’ were both released to critical acclaim and took Slater far beyond the confines of the techno scene. His “Fear & Loathing” mixes sit proudly amongst the collections of many music lover as do his enviable back catalogue of powerhouse techno tracks.

Fast forward to 2009 and Luke has burst back onto the scene as Planetary Assault Systems with his 'Temporary Suspension' album on Berlin's ‘Ostgut Ton’ label. He’s been instrumental in reinvigorating the scene he helped create by bringing back techno's traditional, purist values. The album kick-started a wave of P.A.S. live shows around the globe, followed by another album “The Messenger”, also on Ostgut Ton. Over 12 tracks of exploratory techno and electronica, Slater chases that fundamental wave - seeking new sounds while staying true to the original P.A.S. ideology and channelling an on-going search for new ground into cutting-edge modern music.

Let’s fire up as Luke Slater brings his epic Planetary Assault Systems live show to Adelaide and Australia for the first time!

This is going to be crazy, very nice booking. Definitely getting my tickets early to this one

I'm not typically a fan of the term 'proper techno', as I have quite a broad personal definition of techno. and that's all proper to me.

But with this party, I doubt even the strictest purists would dispute that the P.A.S. live show is 'proper techno'. :)

Do like P.A.S
;)

I seen the P.A.S live show when I was last back in Glasgow....bangin!

Do like P.A.S

Wowzers!!! Luke Slater and his Planetary Assault Systems LIVE show! That was a seriously epic experience!

Luke has the knack of winding you up another notch with every track and every new sound coming in. And he's the absolute King of making you think the beat is about to drop, then teasing you and making you think that again and again, and then finally unleashing on the dancefloor!

Cheers to everyone who rocked out - if you weren't there then you missed out big time!!!

Thanks to the Electric Circus crew for the hospitality, and to EC and Jacob from Novatech for probably the best sound I've ever had at one of my shows! PEACE :D

Pics are up now on our Facebook page: www.facebook.com/techphonics

Peace! :D

Top night, was absolutely banging in there and seemed like everyone was loving it from beginning to end.
Always nice to be in a dark little club with a good sound system for a driving techno set like that, man was a master of his craft and relentless with the tunes.
Well done to Matt and the crew for putting on a very good night once again.
Looking forward to the next Techphonics show.

Jelly, looks like it was an older crowd though
