Luke Slater on the creative process behind LB Dub Corp and Planetary Assault Systems - In The Studio
Ғылым және технология
British techno legend Luke Slater is a man of many aliases. He’s probably best known for his work as Planetary Assault Systems, a moniker under which he’s been releasing tough, drum-machine-focused techno since the mid-’90s but Slater’s prolific body of work also touches on ambient electronics, acid, house, psychedelic dance music and crossover electro-pop, working as aliases including The 7th Plain, Clementine and LSD, as well as under his own name.
As he prepares to release his new album as L.B. Dub Corp, Saturn to Home, we visited Slater in his gear-stuffed studio to learn more about his creative process.
L.B. Dub Corp - Saturn to Home is out 24 May via Dekmantel
You Got Me ft Robert Owner is out now

00:15:15 - Processing with outboard hardware
00:22:58 - Mixing You Got Me ft Robert Owens

Luke Slater, Jeff Mills and Richie Hawtin all managed to explore that minimal and hypnotic rough side of techno, while still keeping it elegant and intellectual. Truly, music for the heart, mind and body

Luke Slater in his deep knowledge of his art and sharing some moments of his legacy. True Lengend 💯 Big hug from Portugal. R.T
I loved his material under '7th plain'.. wish Luke would do more of that...
Legend! And one can never have too many boxes unless one can't work out where the kick is coming from!

It's amazing that a techno legend doesn't know where the kick is.

That was my favourite part. The man is so techno that kick drums just randomly play from God knows where at all times.

just as i'm thinking, i bet the 909 would sound great through that overstayer, he reaches for it. this is why he's the goat
His WIP groove/909 through the Overstayer - absolute delights.

It's so good to be a fly on the wall in Luke Slater's studio, thank-you
This is so real and genuine; totally refreshed my spirit!
He's like the nutty professor of techno
I could watch him chat for hours, playing small snippets of glorious music.
That studio and all the high-end kit in it is testemant to Luke’s passion for techno and to just sound amazing. Great little vid, thx
Great insight into one of Britain's best techno producers/DJ's workflow🤘
One of the best! Seriousssss back catalog of music
It’s so simple yet 100% not at the same time, love it.

Great description, yes. Only that Kick-Bass-groove on its own is fantastic already. It looks so effortless, but it's decades of experience really.
Pure class, real art. Techno as it was back in the day, great to see Luke Slater is still one of the greatest.
That was so inspiring to watch! Would love to see more of that
This channel is killing it
Caught his live show at a recent Terminal V, of course the younger heads had no idea who he was so it wasn't busy. Would love to see his show again in a club environment in Edinburgh which is where this sounds belongs

I’m from Glasgow and it’s such a shame when some of the legends come through here or Edinburgh. A lot of people my ages and below (I’m 25) just don’t appreciate or want to dig into the older stuff

Clubbing days are a rarity now as priorities have changed but don't feel I'm missing too much tbh. Bookings in Glasgow are largely pish and sad to see this ultra-high BPM fad taking a real grip of the scene which has been known for it's authenticity in terms of electronic music. A bit "old man yells at cloud" admittedly and there is quality definitely still out there but it's a bit depressing. However everything is cyclical and it will change again. Enjoy your remaining mwi years my man! Treasure them.

So good. What a legend!
I love the way he pronounces digitakt as “digikat” haha - Luke, you are a legend, and you can pronounce it however you want! Makes me wonder if maybe he has dyslexia - my close friend has it, and he has all sorts of these kinds of idiosyncrasies with pronunciation. All power to him if so. Top man.
Luke - you’re like meditation 🧘 🎶❤
Thanks for the music Luke

I wonder when Luke meets someone who has no idea of what he does. Does he tell them he’s a musician or one of the greatest legends in techno history?
