Planetary Assault Systems revisits ‘In From The Night’ with P.A.S edits and a remix from Adam Beyer & Wehbba

Planetary Assault Systems is one of UK techno veteran Luke Slater's most enduring aliases, a project focused on forward-thinking techno with maximum cerebral impact. 'In From The Night' came out in 1993 as part of the ‘Planetary Funk Vol 1 EP’ on Peacefrog and has remained an underground favourite since.

Here on his own Mote-Evolver label, Slater revisits the track with a fresh perspective across two edits and an interpretation from Drumcode’s Adam Beyer and celebrated Brazilian DJ/producer Webbha. The techno titans team up to deliver a remix with thunderous energy as tense synths patterns loop, evolve, and grow ever more edgy as the track unfolds throughout.

On the flip, the first ‘P.A.S. Edit’ is a potent touch-up that finds pounding drums overlaid with raw and textural synth patterns alongside occasional crashing claps and a rising sense of dark cosmic energy. The ‘P.A.S. Live Edit’ unfolds in broken patterns and reverberates with menace as more searing synth lines fire across the dance floor.

Tenzella - Hard Grind EP [Hardgroove, HARDGROOVE017]

LINK IN BIO or itsoundsfuture.com

Liverpool’s Tenzella steps up for his debut appearance on Ben Sims’ Hardgroove in November with the six-track ‘Hard Grind’ EP.

While the rhythmic intensity of the tracks on ‘Hard Grind EP’ are as drivingly present throughout, each track on the EP brings a pleasingly distinct direction. From the ‘proper’ bassline of the vocal sample-licked opening title track through to the immense fun(k) of Jazz infused ‘Jazz Tool’, Tenzella draws on a broad palette of sounds.

The shuffled, kick-heavy punch of the aptly titled ‘The Mule’ contrasts the hypnotic, heads-down collaboration with Ecilo, ‘Dobermann’, whilst the frenetic, organ-punctuated ‘Discostupid’ balances the more minimalist aesthetics of 'Rosa'.

Tracklist: Tenzella - Hard Grind EP [Hardgroove, HARDGROOVE017]

01. Tenzella - Hard Grind
02. Tenzella - The Mule
03. Tenzella & Ecilo - Dobermann

Uncertain - Suspect EP [Mind Medizin, MDZN008]

LINK IN BIO or itsoundsfuture.com

Lady Tazz's kinky techno outlet Mind Medizin welcomes Uncertain for a powerful new techno outing.

Uncertain formerly worked as Boriqua Tribez and has been at the heart of the European underground for years. Under this alias, he brings a love of the classic sound to a passion for the frantic side of techno and is a thrilling DJ who plays across three decks with rare dexterity. The likes of Richie Hawtin, Ben Sims and Amelie Lens are bona fide fans of his music. Under both aliases, he has made more than 50 EPs on labels such as KMS, Kneaded Pains and Uncage. Now he steps up to one of the contemporary scene's finest imprints.

First up is 'Suspect' which immediately locks you into its tunneling techno groove. As the seductive rubbery drums race on, chattery claps pepper the mix and warped vocals add a freaky atmosphere. It's banging but controlled, hard but funky and perfect for heady dance floors.

The superb 'Anxious' then takes off at high speed on a cantering techno rhythm. The bulky drums and razor-sharp hi-hats never let up as a whip-snapping bassline darts around below. It's high tension, high-pressure, supple and driving techno with deft synths that add just enough colour next to the clipped soul of the vocal stabs.

This is a brilliant brace of powerful techno cuts from Uncertain and Mind Medizin.

Uncertain - Escape [Rekids Special Projects, RSPX48]

Uncertain drops heaving five-tracker ‘Escape’ on Rekids Special Projects this November.

Formerly known as Boriqua Tribez, Uncertain has been a driving force in electronic music for over two decades, releasing music under a host of aliases across a number of respected labels. With recent appearances on Kneaded Pains, Suara, and Tronic amongst others, Uncertain now sets his sights to Radio Slave’s Rekids Special Projects, delivering five bone-crushing techno tracks for the label.

Leading the release is the title track ‘Escape’, a high energy start to the EP. ‘Base’ follows with a dose of funk as warped samples and rumbling kicks twist into a rolling groove, before ‘Crush’ brings swinging drums and vocal snippets together for a rowdy cut. ‘Transmit’ marries synth stabs with heavy low-end and subtle hooks before ‘Organic’ closes the release with a direct combination of wonky pads, classic drum machines, and cleverly utilised FX.

Subradeon - From The City To The Suburbs EP [Rekids Special Projects, RSPX46]

LINK IN BIO or itsoundsfuture.com

Subradeon drop a mammoth five-track techno EP on Radio Slave’s Rekids Special Projects.

Comprising Giuseppe Salone and Salvatore Iannotta, Subradeon have been releasing quality techno on their eponymous imprint, Ben Sims’ Hardgroove, Deetron’s Character and many more since their 2017 debut on Motech. Now returning with a heavy five-tracker on Rekids Special Projects, the duo deliver a release that takes influence from the genre’s history in the Motor City while simultaneously looking forward.

Leading the release, ‘The Spirit’ opens with scintillating synths, punchy drum machines, and a recurring vocal refrain before the dense pads and rumbling percussion of ‘Your Mission’ culminate in a breakdown peppered with spoken word. ‘Moonshine’ sees rocking drums and fluttering instrumentation collide before ‘Break That Pattern’ reaches for trippy stereo FX and sharp sound design. ‘Human Resistance’ closes the release with a flurry of synthesised strings and spoken word clashing over pumping kicks and claps.

"From the city to the suburbs, we are still struggling. For those who the job only means a piece of bread. For those who still fight for fairness, kindness, and for equality of gender, race, or religion. For those who spend their energy every day to move forward, even knowing that they will always be the last.” - Subradeon.

Closing the show, ‘Tribe’ welcomes further deeper grooves and sharp claps for another punchy yet silky workout, rounding out an impressive first appearance on On Edge Society from the two talents.
