Since then, a slew of singles ::::::::: and LPÆs from the industrious artist have made sure ::::::::: Planetary Assault Systems has become a byword for hypnotic, ::::::::: funk-heavy Techno in a purist tradition. Toeing the line ::::::::: between heady, psychedelic material and all out main room ::::::::: fare - SlaterÆs work as PAS captures the very best facets ::::::::: of the genre, with economically selected parts exquisitely ::::::::: arranged and engineered with a shrewd and uncompromising ::::::::: ear for what really makes people move. ::::::::: ::::::::: On the new LP, Slater draws on studio material but also ::::::::: components recorded during the PAS live show - and heÆs ::::::::: keen to let fans know the focus is well and truly on the ::::::::: dance floor with this one: Sky Scraping is a loud and ::::::::: unabashed celebration of the formative and familiar ::::::::: environments so loved by the electronic music community, ::::::::: the dark clubs and festivals made special by their unique ::::::::: ability to bring like minded people together. ::::::::: ::::::::: Sky Scraping kicks off in characteristically dense, ::::::::: psychedelic fashion with Labstract - a slice of classic PAS ::::::::: with cavernous low end and a tight, looping sequence doing ::::::::: the driving work while frenetic drum machine cuts and wide ::::::::: angle synth sirens shift the track onwards from one phase ::::::::: to the next. Follow up One For The Groove showcases the ::::::::: chunkier side of SlaterÆs production as PAS with an ::::::::: infectious 909 pattern propelled on in the high mids by a ::::::::: squelching synth patch. Bang Wap revisits the artistÆs last ::::::::: outing on Token - a monstrous, unforgiving roller designed ::::::::: with peak time in mind. Say It Loud - the idiosyncratic ::::::::: proto-anthem that accompanied Bang Wap earlier in the year ::::::::: leads the LP onwards, before sequing into new recording ::::::::: Give In - a masterclass in dense, funky, face-melting ::::::::: Techno. Drums take centre stage on If I Die, as the artist ::::::::: returns to the 909 for a marginally slowed down cut that ::::::::: really highlights the artistÆs connection to and natural ::::::::: affinity with groove and drum machine cuts. Coal thrusts ::::::::: the listener straight back down the wormhole - an ::::::::: extraordinary, driving piece propelled by a guttural lead ::::::::: synth sequence and ghostly drums, before giving way to Run ::::::::: - a dry, pared back recording with plucked, staccato synths ::::::::: that makes for a good contrast to its fathoms deep ::::::::: predecessor. Though not without moments of hysteria in its ::::::::: closing quarter, The Drag Train, featuring a classic, more ::::::::: mono finish begins the wind down towards the LPÆs close. ::::::::: Nano Chameleon ties up Sky Scraping, a track as forceful as ::::::::: anything that has come earlier on the record - as it ::::::::: approaches its close, a warping lead powers the recording ::::::::: home with shuffling white noise percussion dipping in and ::::::::: out of the sonic main stage before giving way to a ::::::::: delicate, controlled chaos. ::::::::: :::___::: :___ ____ _ ___::/ /_::_ _____ ___ ___ | | / _/// / //__//_/// _/ /__\ \______\ \_____ | |/ /_____\_ \::::::╖: .....:: TRACKLIST :\ / \ \ _ / _/___| / /\ / / \\»»»:' :╖╖╖╖╖╖╖╖╖╖╖╖╖/ _/ / /___ \ / \ \ \_____/ \\ \»»»╖ no : track title ____//___|\ \ \____\___/_____\__| ti:me\________/:::: ╖╖╖╖╖╖:╖╖╖╖╖╖╖╖╖╖╖╖╖╖╖╖╖╖╖╖╖╖╖╖╖\______\╖╖ ╖ ╖ ╖ ╖╖ ╖╖╖╖╖╖╖╖╖╖╖ ╖╖..╖╖::::::: ::::::: 01 : Labstract 07:11 ::::::: 02 : One For The Groove 05:33 ::::::: 03 : Bang Wap 05:06 ::::::: 04 : Say It Loud 06:15 ::::::: 05 : Give In 06:04 ::::::: 06 : If I Die 05:36 ::::::: 07 : Coal 05:10 ::::::: 08 : Devotion 06:04 ::::::: 09 : Run 06:18 ::::::: 10 : The Drag Train 07:08 ::::::: 11 : Nano Chameleon 06:09 ::::::: ::::::: total length: 66:34 ::::::: . ____ ________ ____ ______::::::: . ____ _\ \ / /_\ \ _____ ________/ ::::::: :: __/ _/__ / \ \ / / / / /_\ \______ \ _/ / /::::::: :::.\ \_ / / /________/ / / _/ \ /____\__ \______/ ::::::: ::::/_____/ \__|\ \ \ \______/ \\_____// / / _\ ::::::: :::::::::/_____/╖╖\_______\....:::: \____\ /____\ /\___\ ::::::: :::: \_____\ :::::: :::: GROUP NFO :::....................::::::. :::::.. As release upon release emerges, we will continue to bring you only :::::. the best in electronic music! We focus equally on both style and :::::: quality, and if you're reading our info, you already know that. :::::: We're now in our 22nd year, and we feel pretty confident about the :::::: work we do. We have brought music to the masses, and in doing so :::::: hopefully made their lives that much better. For us, that is what :::::: its all about, and thats what keeps us going. :::::: :::::: We purchase records and rip them so other people can hear the tracks :::::: and decide if they want to buy! We have paid for our records and :::::: think you should also, if you do not subscribe to this, you are part :::::: of the problem. So if you like a release please buy it. Don't be a :::::: skanky bitch about the price, just pay it! In doing so, you are :::::: supporting what we all love so much. We sleep good at night cause we :::::: support the artists that produces electronic music, without whom we :::::: wouldn't have so much material to enjoy. We know some releases are :::::: nearly impossible to find, so buy something else you like instead :D :::::: :::::: The electronic music scene ain't like the pop and rock scene. Where :::::: fans pays 100Euro for a ticket to a concert! It's smaller and :::::: artists rely on units sold. Since you probably downloaded this :::::: release and think you can have it for free -- you're wrong. That :::::: mindset is killing the artists and the scene. Its simple, support :::::: the people who support you, musically. :::::: :::::: We at TechnoRulez are adamant about any of releases being posted in :::::: public scene dupingchans and prechans! Please respect that, and :::::: remove our releases from the db's. We insist that the scene must be :::::: kept underground, and if the clueless lamers using such chans and :::::: websites cant comply with the terms, you will see alot less of us. :::::: That doesn't mean we will slow down, but we will take action to keep :::::: our releases internal or a very limited spread. It is simply :::::: unacceptable to post scene related info on *any* public source at :::::: *any* time. Use your head. :::::: :::::: In the words of a Luke Slater track, "Lets get together" and make :::::: the scene a better place for all of us! keep the distance from :::::: the n00bs, and unite more to keep the few bad apples from ruining :::::: our business! :::::: :::::: As always, cheers! :::::: /TechnoRulez 2021 :::::: :::::: :::::: p.s. We are currently looking for experienced Rippers! :::::: You know where to find us! :::::: :::::: .........................::::: GREETINGS :::::........................::::::. :::::.. 1REAL . AES .
