There’s something different about a live techno set when it’s done by someone who’s shaped the sound from the inside out. The latest instalment in the SPNDAU20 Mixtape series features none other than Luke Slater, captured live at Fuse Brussels during the tour for his ‘Sky Scraping’ album on Token Records. And it’s every bit as intense, hypnotic, and uncompromising as you’d expect from a true originator.
Slater’s legacy runs deep. Under aliases like Planetary Assault Systems, he’s been pushing the boundaries of techno since the ‘90s—always evolving, never complacent. This set is full proof of that. No frills, no filler—just raw machine funk from one of electronic music’s most respected architects. You can feel the weight of years spent in the booth as he tears through hardware-driven grooves and mind-bending modular textures. It’s club-ready, but equally perfect for locking into at home with the lights down low.
In a scene full of polished playlists and digital blends, this mix is a reminder of what live techno can be: visceral, human, and totally locked-in. If you’re into deep, powerful, precision-engineered sound, this one’s for you.
