SA004 features two exceptional remixes of Lucy & Ercolino’s last 12” on Stroboscopic Artefacts. The A-side “Gmork” is given the darkly elegant techno treatment by someone who needs no introduction: Luke Slater. On the B-side, Dadub rips into “So The Nothing Grows Stronger” with a massive dub agenda, showcasing the meeting point between the UK dubstep scene and Berlin’s formidable techno output.

SA004 features two exceptional remixes of Lucy & Ercolino’s last 12” on Stroboscopic Artefacts. The A-side “Gmork” is given the darkly elegant techno treatment by someone who needs no introduction: Luke Slater. On the B-side, Dadub rips into “So The Nothing Grows Stronger” with a massive dub agenda, showcasing the meeting point between the UK dubstep scene and Berlin’s formidable techno output.

Techno pioneer Luke Slater, AKA Planetary Assault Systems, honoured Stroboscopic Artefacts by taking SA003 on his latest tour of Asia. While still in Japan he was inspired to remould and rethink “Gmork” in the studio, giving the track his twisted hallmark. He takes the original elements of “Gmork” and weights them baseside-up. In his hands the track becomes more dizzying, disorientating and hypnotic than before. Luke Slater injects playful flourishes in the form of odd glassy sounds and off beat insertions. For anyone who has experienced one of his Berghain residency sets you will recognise the warped 9am atmosphere.

Dadub’s retreatment takes the original material and reconfigures it using subtractive synthesis. The analogue process assures the track’s bespoke, simmering atmosphere. Testament to the fact that the dubbing was live recorded, the structure hovers, swell and swirls around the massive weight of the baseline. It is an organically structured piece of music: a cooling, crystallising remix solution.
